Multi-responsive and tough hydrogels based on triblock copolymer micelles as multi-functional macro-crosslinkers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multi-stimuli responsive hydrogels are synthesized using self-assembled nanomicelles of Pluronic F127 diacrylate triblock copolymer as non-covalent macro-crosslinkers to in situ copolymerize with acrylamide and methyl chloride quaternized N,N-dimethylamino ethylacrylate monomers, generating positively charged hydrogels. These hydrogels showed high strength, toughness, and outstanding fatigue resistance, and are reversibly responsive to changes in pH and ionic strength.

Block copolymer micelles (BCMs) were prepared from amphiphilic diblock copolymers of poly(n-butyl acrylate) and poly(acrylic acid) partially modified with 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate. Radical polymerization of acrylamide in the presence of micellar crosslinkers gave rise to elastomeric hydrogels (BCM-PAAm) whose mechanical properties can be tuned by varying the BCM composition. Transmission electro...

Many studies have focused on how drugs are formulated in the sol state at room temperature leading to the formation of in situ gel at eye temperature to provide a controlled drug release. Stimuli-responsive block copolymer hydrogels possess several advantages including uncomplicated drug formulation and ease of application, no organic solvent, protective environment for drugs, site-specificity,...
متن کاملHydrogen peroxide-responsive micelles self-assembled from a peroxalate ester-containing triblock copolymer.
A novel ABA triblock copolymer by using peroxalate esters as linkages was synthesized. In water, this amphiphilic copolymer self-assembled into micelles which were used as drug delivery carriers. When stimulated with hydrogen peroxide, the micelles disassembled to release drugs since the responsive peroxalate ester linkages would be cleaved after the reaction with hydrogen peroxide.
