Thermoresponsive Hydrogels for Cellular Delivery

Therapeutic Delivery, 2012
The delivery of living cells into a host body has emerged as a promising approach to treating a variety of different diseases and for tissue repair. However, one of the major obstacles for clinical success is to deliver the cells to the target tissue without losing control of cell fate and function after transplantation.

New directions in thermoresponsive polymers

Chemical Society Reviews, 2013
Interest in thermoresponsive polymers has steadily grown over many decades, and a great deal of work has been dedicated to developing temperature sensitive macromolecules that can be crafted into new smart materials. However, the overwhelming majority of previously reported temperature-responsive polymers are based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide ...

Thermoresponsive Polymeric Nanoemulsions

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2006
AbstractSummary:Solutions of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) with added sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were investigated by light scattering methods at temperatures of 15–40 °C. The formation of well‐defined nanoparticles of PNIPA was observed on heating at low SDS additions.

Thermoresponsive polymer-stabilized silver nanoparticles

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2008
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) stabilized by a thermoresponsive polymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), have been synthesized by the reduction of silver ions with NaBH(4) in aqueous solutions. The obtained Ag NPs are very stable at room temperature due to the extended coil conformation of the PNIPAM chain at temperatures below its volume phase ...

Thermoresponsive Synthetic Polymer–Microtubule Hybrids

Langmuir, 2013
Thermoresponsive hybrids consisting of synthetic polymers and microtubules (MTs), i.e., assemblies of tubulins, were prepared by bonding MTs covalently to a few reactive units in a macromolecular strand. The hybrids exhibited the gel/sol transition because of the "assembling of tubulins to MTs/disintegrating of MTs to tubulins" by the temperature ...

Smart Thermoresponsive Biomaterials

2013
Thermoresponsive materials represent an important class of advanced materials that have evolved over the past few decades. These materials are also designated as "smart" materials as they are capable of responding dramatically to small temperature changes. In this chapter we will present a select range of polymers that exhibit thermoresponsive behavior,
