Pectin based micro/nanocarriers display promising properties for biomedical applications. In this study, thermo/pH-responsive chitosan coated pectin-graft-poly(N,N-diethyl acrylamide) (Pec-g-PDEAAm/CS) microcarriers containing 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) as a model drug were developed. The structure, thermal stability and surface morphology of 5-FU-loaded microcarriers were investigated
Trilayer polymer films consisting of a thermoresponsive hydrogel, poly(diethyl acrylamide) (PDEAM), sandwiched by rigid layers of a glassy polymer, poly(para-methylstyrene) (PpMS), patterned into parallel striped features are prepared and used to drive temperature-responsive reversible anisotropic expansion. Significant swelling occurs along

The functionalization of polysaccharides with synthetic polymers has attracted great attention owing to its application in many industrial fields. The aim of this work was to study the impact of pectin functionalization with N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEAAm). Pectin was modified via microwave-induced
Many medical and biotechnological processes rely on controlling and manipulating the molecular-recognition capabilities of proteins. This can be achieved using small molecules capable of competing for protein binding or by changing environmental parameters that affect protein structure and hence binding.
A series of semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogels based on N,N'-diethylacrylamide (DEA) and itaconamic acid (IAM) were synthesized by changing the molar ratio of linear copolymer P(DEA-co-IAM) and DEA monomer. Linear copolymer P(DEA-co-IAM) was introduced into a solution of DEA
