Degradable thermoresponsive polymers which display redox-responsive LCST behaviour.

چکیده
Disulfide linkages were introduced into poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) by the polycondensation of a RAFT-derived, telechelic macromonomer to give degradable yet vinyl-based polymers. These polymers displayed a redox-sensitive lower critical solution temperature (LCST) with the shorter, degraded product displaying a higher LCST than its non-degraded counterpart.

Composites Formed from Thermoresponsive Polymers and Conductive Nanowires for Transient Electronic Systems.
The disintegration of transient electronic systems after a preprogrammed time or a particular stimulus (e.g., water, light, or temperature) is fundamentally linked to the properties and behavior of the materials used for their construction. Herein, we demonstrate that polymers exhibiting lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior can work as thermoresponsive substrates for circuitry an...
متن کاملRedox-responsive thermal sensitivity based on a selenium-containing small molecule.
Thermoresponsive spherical assemblies formed by a selenium-containing small molecule exhibit lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior in aqueous solution, which can be reversibly switched by mild redox treatment.
متن کاملThermoresponsive PNIPAAM bottlebrush polymers with tailored side-chain length and end-group structure.
We explore the phase behaviour, solution conformation, and interfacial properties of bottlebrush polymers with side-chains comprised of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM), a thermally responsive polymer that exhibits a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in water. PNIPAAM bottlebrush polymers with controlled side-chain length and side-chain end-group structure are prepared using a "gr...
متن کاملHydrogels with a Memory: Dual-Responsive, Organometallic Poly(ionic liquid)s with Hysteretic Volume-Phase Transition
We report on the synthesis and structure-property relations of a novel, dual-responsive organometallic poly(ionic liquid) (PIL), consisting of a poly(ferrocenylsilane) backbone of alternating redox-active, silane-bridged ferrocene units and tetraalkylphosphonium sulfonate moieties in the side groups. This PIL is redox responsive due to the presence of ferrocene in the backbone and also exhibits...

A series of multi-functional hydrogel systems have been designed and synthesized for potential brain implantation to realize controlled and sustained release of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The systems are three-dimensional crosslinked copolymers composed of a thermo-responsive unit, a hydrolytically degradable and hydrophobic unit, and an enzymatical...
