Temperature and glucose sensitive microgels were prepared via radical precipitation polymerization, using N-vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) as the main monomer, N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker, V50 as initiator and 4-vinylphenylboronic acid (VPBA) as a functional monomer. The LCST of homopoly (NVCL) was

Here, we report the fabrication of a novel ε-caprolactam-silica (ε-SiO2) network and assessed its biocompatibility and ability to improve the antimicrobial activity of kanamycin. The results of the quantitative antimicrobial assay demonstrate that the obtained ε-SiO2 network has efficiently improved
