Abstract

Quick release: The spatial and temporal delivery of active molecules (dyes or drugs) can be precisely controlled by the photocatalytic activity of TiO$_2$ nanotubes (see picture). The cleavage of the link between the active molecule and the nanotubes, which are filled with magnetic Fe$_3$O$_4$ nanoparticles, occurs by photoinduced chain scission under UV light; the load can be released before photodegradation by action of photogenerated radicals can occur.
