Controlled surface initiated polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide from polycaprolactone substrates for regulating cell attachment and detachment [PDF]
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) substrates were modified with thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brushes to direct and control cellular attachment and detachment. Prior to brush growth, the surface of PCL was activated by a diamine to allow

Thermoresponsive polymer nanocarriers for biomedical applications [PDF]
Polymer nanocarriers allow drug encapsulation leading to fragile molecule protection from early degradation/metabolization, increased solubility of poorly soluble drugs and improved plasmatic half-life. However, efficiently controlling the drug release from nanocarriers is still challenging.

Memory Effect in Thermoresponsive Proline‐based Polymers
AbstractWe report that synthetic polymers consisting of L‐proline monomer units exhibit temperature‐driven aggregation in water with unprecedented hysteresis. This protein‐like behavior is robust and governed by the chirality of the proline units. It paves the way to new processes, driven by either temperature or ionic strength changes, such as a ...
