abstract

objective(s) physiological changes in the body may be utilized as potential triggers for controlled drug delivery. based on these mechanisms, stimulus-responsive drug delivery has been developed. materials and methods in this study, a kind of poly (n-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide) membrane was prepared by radical copolymerization. changes in swelling ratios and diameters of the membrane were investigated in terms of temperature. on-off regulation of drug permeation through the membrane was then studied at temperatures below and above the phase transition temperature of the membrane. two drugs, vitamin b12 and acetaminophen were chosen as models of high and low molecular weights here, respectively. results it was indicated that at temperatures below the phase transition temperature of the membrane, copolymer was in a swollen state. above the phase transition temperature, water was partially expelled from the functional groups of the copolymer. permeation of high molecular weight drug models such as vitamin b12 was shown to be much more distinct at temperatures below the phase transition temperature when the copolymer was in a swollen state. at higher temperatures when the copolymer was shrunken, drug permeation through the membrane was substantially decreased. however for acetaminophen, such a big change in drug permeation around the phase transition temperature of the membrane was not observed. conclusion according to the pore mechanism of drug transport through hydrogels, permeability of solutes decreased with increasing molecular size. as a result, the relative permeability, around the phase transition temperature of the copolymer, was higher for solutes of high molecular weight.

Preparation of Temperature- and pH-Sensitive, Stimuli- Responsive Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) Nanoparticles

The effects of the monomer ratio, surfactant, and crosslinker contents on the particle size and phase-transition behavior of the copolymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (PNIPAAm–MAA) were investigated with Fourier transform infrared, differential scanning calorimetry, and dynamic laser scattering techniques. In addition to the thermoresponsive property of poly(N-isopropylacryl...

Drug release of pH/temperature-responsive calcium alginate/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) semi-IPN beads.

A series of semi-interpenetrating, polymer network (semi-IPN), hydrogel beads, composed of calcium alginate (Ca-alginate) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM), were prepared for a pH/temperature-sensitive drug delivery study. The equilibrium swelling showed the independent pH- and thermo- responsive nature of the developed materials. At pH=2.1, the release amount of indomethacin incorporat...

Synthesis and characterization of temperature and pH responsive Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) copolymer

Temperature responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) exhibits a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of approximately 32 °C in aqueous solution, below which the polymer is water soluble and above which it becomes water insoluble. The LCST of PNIPAM copolymer increases responding to hydrophilic block acrylic acid (AA). The copolymer is pH and temperature responsive. The duel respons...

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Surfactant-Functionalized Responsive Silver Nanoparticles and Superlattices

Metal nanoparticles exhibit unique optical characteristics in visible spectra produced by local surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for a wide range of optical and electronic applications. We report the synthesis of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) surfactant (PNIPAM-C18)-functionalized metal nanoparticles and ordered superlattice arrays through an interfacial self-assembly process. The method is simple...

Synthesis and Phase Behavior of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-Poly(L-Lysine Hydrochloride) and Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide-co-Acrylamide)-b-Poly(L-Lysine Hydrochloride)

The synthesis of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-poly(L-lysine) and poly(N- isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide)-b-poly(L-lysine) copolymers was accomplished by combining atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and ring opening polymerization (ROP). For this purpose, a di-functional initiator with protected amino group was successfully synthetized. The ATRP of N-isopropylacrylamide yielded narr...
