(A) Schematic illustration on the fabrication and (B) electron microscopic image of doxorubicin@gold/mesoporous silica nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are prepared in dual surfactant system using classic fast self-assembling method containing both cationic and non-ionic surfactants. Scale bar: 50 nm.
