pH-responsive polymeric micelles (PM) consisting of random copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA), methacrylic acid (MAA), and octadecyl acrylate (ODA) were prepared and characterized. The critical aggregation concentration, as determined by a fluorescence probe technique, was approximately 10 mg/L in water and

Polymer microgels of poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(methacrylate-co-N-isopropyl acrylamide) showed a thermoresponsive behavior, suitable for application in drug delivery (Biomacromolecules 2009, 10, 1589). In this work molecular dynamics (MD) methods were used to explain which structural aspects are determining for thermoresponsivity and how

Stable liposomes were rendered pH-sensitive by complexation to a polymer that undergoes marked temperature- and pH-dependent water solubility changes. The N-isopropylacrylamide-methacrylic acid copolymer was prepared with or without octadecyl acrylate. At pH below the phase transition of the polymer, egg

We synthesized a temperature-responsive polymer, N-(isopropylacrylamide)-methacrylic acid copolymer, to which poly-l-lysine was introduced. The synthesized polymer as well as the parent polymer showed reversible soluble-insoluble changes in response to temperature changes across the lower critical solution temperature at 32 degree

This work was focused on the investigation of temperature and pH-responsive polymeric composite membranes and their permeability to proteins and peptides in response to environmental stimuli. The composite membranes were prepared from nanoparticles of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) of various NIPAAm:MAA ratios

Articles

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), or PNIPAM, is a stimuli-responsive polymer that responds to changes in pH and temperature and has a LCST around 32 C.

Tissue engineering has become a key therapeutic tool in the treatment of damaged or diseased organs and tissues, such as blood vessels and urinary bladders.

By altering the physicochemical properties, smart or intelligent drug delivery systems can be designed to deliver therapeutic molecules on-demand. Learn more about the application of stimuli-responsive materials in drug delivery.

Professor Mitsuhiro Ebara provides insights on several types of smart nanofiber mesh systems that have been explored for different drug delivery purposes.
