and thus the enhanced toxicity in the tumour cells. The sustained release of 5-FU from the CaP@5-FU NPs, as described in the pH-triggeredrelease study, was found to correlate with the findings of the MTT assay. The HCT-15 cell lines showed a saturation limit of the free drug after 10 µg/mL, whereas

the nanoparticles with high concentrations of sodium chloride shows no further release and thus demonstrates the pH-driven release to be quantitative.

modified by successive adsorption of four polyelectrolyte layers in total, containing in particular the weak polyanion PAA. We demonstrate that an appropriate pH stimulus induces a controlled release of the polycationic species poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC). The successful pH-triggered
release of PDADMAC is concluded from 1H NMR spectroscopy. Although 1H NMR spectroscopy lacks sensitivity, it has significant advantages with respect to selectivity and robustness compared to current state of the art analytical methods, such as chromatography and titration strategies [28], which are
