This work reported the design, preparation and characterization of functional hollow polymer nanoparticles with S-nitrosothiol (SNO) as scaffolds for nitric oxide (NO) release in PBS buffer and bovine serum. The thiolated hollow polymer nanoparticles were prepared by distillation precipitation polymerization of ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in presence of 3-(methacryloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane (MPS)-modified silica as seeds and the selective removal of silica core in hydrofluoric acid (HF) aqueous solution together with the subsequent surface esterification of hydroxyl groups with acryloyl chloride to introduce high density of vinyl groups and further Michael addition of carbon-carbon double bonds with hydrosulfide (HS^-) anions. S-Nitrosothiol (SNO) functionalized hollow polymer nanoparticles were prepared via nitrosation of the surface thiol groups with acidified nitrite. The releasing characters of SNO-functionalized hollow polymer nanoparticles as NO scaffolds with capacity of 1.55 mmol/mg were investigated in different media, including PBS buffer exposure to trace copper cations and in real bovine serum.
