Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-coated silica–titania hollow nanoparticles (PAA-HNPs) are synthesized and applied as nanocarriers for the smart drug delivery system. Since the PAA-HNPs have high biocompatibility and low cell–toxicity as well as consist of hollow structure that can accommodate drug molecules, the prepared PAA-HNPs are suitable materials for drug delivery systems. Furthermore, the PAA is adopted as a coating substance because of its pH-responsive characteristics. To examine the pH-responsive characteristics of PAA, dye molecules are loaded into the hollow nanoparticles and induced to be released in various pH conditions. The analysis results demonstrate that the PAA-HNPs show pH-dependent properties.
