Application

Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PolyNIPAM) is a stimuli-responsive polymer. This product features low polydispersity (PDI), which typically leads to better reproducibility in applications, and a terminal N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) functional group, allowing for rapid conjugation of biomolecules, small molecules, or other polymers. PolyNIPAM has been used in development of a variety of thermosensitive coated micro/nano materials, including thermoresponsive polymeric drug delivery systems.

New magnetic-based core-shell particles (MBCSPs) were developed to target skin cancer cells while delivering chemotherapeutic drugs in a controlled fashion. MBCSPs consist of a thermo-responsive shell of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide-allylamine) and a core of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) embedded with magnetite nanoparticles. To

Self-assembled polymeric micelles can be used as efficient particulate emulsifiers. To explore the relationship between micellar structure and emulsification performance, pH- and temperature-responsive self-assembled micelles were prepared and used as emulsifiers, based on a novel grafted polymer poly(styrene-alt-maleic acid)-graft-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)
