Autofluorescent microcapsules with pH‐ and redox‐responsive properties for pinpointed intracellular delivery were assembled by covalent cross‐linking of polysaccharide derivative alginate dialdehyde (ADA) and cystamine dihydrochloride (CM) through layer‐by‐layer (LBL) technique. The simple and versatile method could be extended to other polysaccharide derivatives for the fabrication of autofluorescent nano‐ and micromaterials with dual stimuli response for biomedical applications.
