Thermoresponsive Polymer Micelles as Potential Nanosized Cancerostatics
Biomacromolecules, 2015An effective chemotherapy for neoplastic diseases requires the use of drugs that can reach the site of action at a therapeutically efficacious concentration and maintain it at a constant level over a sufficient period of time with minimal side effects.

Thermoresponsive polymer-modified microfibers for cell separations
Acta Biomaterialia, 2017Thermoresponsive polymer-modified microfibers were prepared through electrospinning of poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBC) and subsequent surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization for grafting poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm). Electrospinning conditions were optimized to produce large-diameter (20μm) PVBC microfibers.

Switching between Polymer Architectures with Distinct Thermoresponses
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2017Thermoresponsive linear polymers and their corresponding aggregates or nanogels typically show similar thermoresponsive profiles. In this study, the authors demonstrate reversible chemical switching between linear polymers and their cross-linked nanogels.

Thermal Switching of Thermoresponsive Polymer Aqueous Solutions
ACS Macro Letters, 2017Thermal switches are of great importance to thermal management in a wide variety of applications. However, traditional thermal switches suffer from being large and having slow transition rates. To overcome these limitations, we took advantage of abrupt second-order phase transitions in thermoresponsive polymer aqueous solutions to enable fast thermal ...

Thermoresponsive AuNPs Stabilized by Pillararene‐Containing Polymers
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2015Pillararene‐containing thermoresponsive polymers are synthesized via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization using pillararene derivatives as the effective chain transfer agents for the first time. These polymers can self‐assemble into micelles and form vesicles after guest molecules are added.

Synthesis of Thermoresponsive Polymers for Drug Delivery
2014A protocol for synthesizing thermosensitive copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP), cross-linked with N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) has been described in this chapter. The copolymers have been formed at different concentrations of NIPAM and VP and at two different temperatures (70 °C and 30 °C). The lower critical

Functionalization of Textiles with Thermoresponsive Polymers
Journal of Fashion Technology & Textile Engineering, 2018Functionalization of textiles with thermoresponsive polymers is the aim of this research work. Therefore, suitable textile substrates had been selected and characterized with the aid of a skin model regarding the water vapor resistance. A novel modified cup method was optimized for detecting the thermoresponsive behavior of the synthesized polymer ...

Novel Thermoresponsive Polymers Tunable by pH
Macromolecules, 2011Thermoresponsive polymers that are pH tunable were successfully synthesized by a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azide and alkynes (click chemistry). ATRP was employed to synthesize poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), followed by introduction of alkyne groups using ...

Biocompatible Thermoresponsive Polymers: Property and Synthesis
2020Thermoresponsive polymers are responsive to slight changes in temperatures. In many cases, particularly with N-isopropylacrylamide group as repeating unit, the temperature at which the change takes place falls in physiological range. Hence, such polymers can be used for biological applications, even though biocompatibility is major issue in many cases.
