Transforming polyethylenimine into a pH-switchable hydrogel by additional supramolecular interactions.
Attaching a self-complementary zwitterionic supramolecular binding site to the amino groups of polyethyleneimine leads to a pH switchable hydrogel as dimerization of the zwitterions introduces additional crosslinks between the polymer chains. This gel responds to both the addition of either acid or base, as only the zwitterion can self-assemble but neither the protonated or deprotonated form.
متن کاملDual responsive supramolecular nanogels for intracellular drug delivery.
Supramolecular nanogels cross-linked by host-guest interaction between dextran grafted benzimidazole (Dex-g-BM) and thiol-β-cyclodextrin were designed. Their special supramolecular pH-sensitivity under acidic conditions (pH < 6, within the range of malignant cellular endosomes) and reduction sensitivity in response to biologically relevant stimuli will be of great advantage to the future of can...
متن کاملDual Stimuli-Responsive Supramolecular Hydrogel Based on Hybrid Inclusion Complex (HIC)
A novel dual-responsive supramolecular hydrogel composed of an azobenzene (AZO) endfunctionalized block copolymer PDMA-b-PNIPAM (AZO-(PDMA-b-PNIPAM)) and β-cyclodextrin-modified CdS quantum dot (β-CD@QD) has been demonstrated. Based on the host-guest inclusion complexation of AZO of the block copolymers and CD cavities on β-CD@QD, they form a hybrid inclusion complex (HIC). The HIC contains a Q...
متن کاملOrotic acid as a useful supramolecular synthon for the fabrication of an OPV based hydrogel: stoichiometry dependent injectable behavior.
A facile hydrogelation of a p-pyridylenevinylene derivative (PV) bearing oxyethylene chains in the presence of orotic acid (OA) occurs via various non-covalent interactions. Depending on the PV : OA molar ratio, the hydrogel shows vesicle to either cluster-type aggregate or fiber transformation. Visual color tuning, stimuli-responsiveness and injectable properties of the hydrogel are also obser...
متن کاملA polycation-induced secondary assembly of amphiphilic calixarene and its multi-stimuli responsive gelation behavior.
A calixarene-based supramolecular hydrogel with a porous network structure was successfully constructed via a hierarchical induced assembly strategy, showing reversible or irreversible gelation behaviors in response to several external stimuli including thermal, redox and ionic strength.
