چکیده

Core cross-linked star polymers possessing responsiveness to pH and temperature stimuli have been prepared, and we demonstrate how changes to pH and temperature can be used to trigger the release and uptake of a hydrophobic dye.

Fabrication of multiresponsive shell cross-linked micelles possessing pH-controllable core swellability and thermo-tunable corona permeability.

A double hydrophilic ABC triblock copolymer, poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PDEA-b-PDMA-b-PNIPAM), containing the well-known pH-responsive PDEA block and thermoresponsive PNIPAM block, was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization via sequential monomer addition using ethyl 2-chloropropionate as the i...

The formation of core cross-linked star polymers containing cores cross-linked by dynamic covalent imine bonds.

Diblock copolymers possessing amino or aldehyde functions within one of their blocks were prepared using RAFT polymerization techniques. These polymers were shown to cross-link through dynamic imine bonds to form core cross-linked star polymers which display a size-dependency upon the concentration at which the cross-linking reactions are performed.

Facile RAFT synthesis of side-chain amino acids containing pH-responsive hyperbranched and star architectures†

This work reports the design and synthesis of amino acid-based hyperbranched polymers via the combination of self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) and reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization from tert-butyl carbamate (Boc)-L-valine acryloyloxyethyl ester (Boc-Val-HEA) and S-(4-vinyl)benzyl S’-butyltrithiocarbonate (VBBT) with variable degrees of branching (D...

Prediction of the appropriate size of drug molecules that could be released by a pulsatile mechanism from pH/thermoresponsive microspheres obtained from preformed polymers.

Preparation of cross-linked pH/thermoresponsive microspheres from preformed polymers is still lacking in literature since copolymers possessing both temperature- and pH-sensitive units together with a cross-linkable moiety in appropriate ratios are required. Moreover, choosing of the appropriate drugs able to be loaded and then released in a pulsatile manner is randomly performed. Here, we repo...
