Thermoresponsive, Pyrrolidone‐Based Antifouling Polymer Brushes [PDF]
Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2022 AbstractCommonly, modification of surfaces with thermoresponsive polymers is performed using poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (poly(NIPAM)). However, integration of poly(NIPAM) with a second polymer to obtain more complex copolymer structures has proven challenging due to inherently poorly controllable polymerization characteristics of acrylamides.

Pharmacokinetics of Intramuscularly Administered Thermoresponsive Polymers
Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2022 AbstractAqueous solutions of some polymers exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST); that is, they form phase‐separated aggregates when heated above a threshold temperature. Such polymers found many promising (bio)medical applications, including in situ thermogelling with controlled drug release, polymer‐supported radiotherapy ...

Thermoresponsive Polymers for Biomedical Applications [PDF]
Polymers, 2011 Thermoresponsive polymers are a class of “smart” materials that have the ability to respond to a change in temperature; a property that makes them useful materials in a wide range of applications and consequently attracts much scientific interest. This review focuses mainly on the studies published over the last 10 years on the synthesis and use of ...

Supramolecular control over self-assembly and double thermoresponsive behavior of an amphiphilic block copolymer [PDF]
, 2020 A poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly[N, N-dimethylacrylamide-ran-2-acrylamidoethyl nonanoate] (PEG-b-P(DMA-AAEN)) block copolymer has been demonstrated to show double thermoresponsive behavior in aqueous solution in the presence of hydroxypropylated ...

Mechano- and Thermoresponsive Photoluminescent Supramolecular Polymer [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2017 Mechanoresponsive luminescent (MRL) materials change their emission color upon application of external forces. Many dyes with MRL behavior are known, but they normally do not display useful mechanical properties. Here, we introduce a new approach to overcome this problem, which relies on combining MRL compounds with the concept of supramolecular ...
