To reduce nonspecific interactions and circumvent biological barriers, low-fouling material of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is most used for the modification of drug nanocarriers. Herein, we report the fabrication of PEG capsules via the free-radical polymerization of linear PEG or 8-arm-PEG using an emulsion templating method for targeted drug delivery. Doxorubicin (DOX) could be loaded in capsules via electrostatic interactions. The obtained capsules composed of 8-arm-PEG result in a lower cell association (2.2%) compared to those composed of linear PEG (7.3%) and, therefore, demonstrate the stealth property. The functionalization of cyclic peptides containing Arg-Gly-Asp (cRGD) on PEG capsules induce high cell targeting to U87 MG cells. A cell cytotoxicity assay demonstrates the biocompatibility of PEG capsules and high drug delivery efficacy of the targeted capsules. The reported capsules with the stealth and targeting property provide a potential platform for improved drug delivery.
