Graphical Abstract

Nanotransporters: Self-assembled polymer multilayer nanorockets based on a template-assisted layer-by-layer technique can self-propel by chemical power, namely hydrogen peroxide degradation. They can perform drug loading, targeted transportation, and triggered drug release by an external physical stimuli in a controlled manner.
