Smart polymers for responsive drug-delivery systems.
The rapid advancement of biomedical research has led to many creative applications for biocompatible polymers. As modern medicine discerns more mechanisms, both of physiology and of pathophysiology, the approach to healing is to mimic, or if possible, to recreate the physiology of healthy functioning. Thus, the area of smart polymers for responsive drug delivery has evolved. The developments fa...
متن کاملTemperature-responsive smart packing materials utilizing multi-functional polymers.
Polymers that respond to small changes in environmental stimuli with large, sometimes discontinuous changes in their physical state or properties, are often called "smart" polymers. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAAm, is one of the most representative smart polymer that exhibits a thermally reversible soluble-insoluble change in the vicinity of its lower critical solution temperature (LCST) a...
متن کاملStar Polymers: An Overview
This review article describes the synthesis, properties and some applications of star-shaped polymers. The arms constituted of homoor co-polymers of different polymers are also reviewed. Methods of synthesis of various types of starshaped polymers, including “arm first” and “core first” procedures, is given as an introduction along with some details. Then, the synthesis of star polymers (includ...
متن کاملThermo- and pH-responsive polymers in drug delivery.
Stimuli-responsive polymers show a sharp change in properties upon a small or modest change in environmental condition, e.g. temperature, light, salt concentration or pH. This behaviour can be utilised for the preparation of so-called 'smart' drug delivery systems, which mimic biological response behaviour to a certain extent. The possible environmental conditions to use for this purpose are li...
متن کاملInterfacial adsorption of pH-responsive polymers and nanoparticles.
Using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), we model the interfacial adsorption of pH-responsive polyelectrolytes and polyelectrolyte-grafted nanoparticles (PNPs) at a planar water-oil interface. The electrostatic interactions in the presence of the dielectric discontinuity across the interface are modeled by exploiting the Groot method, which uses an iterative method to solve the Poisson equati...
