This review documents the advances in stimuli-responsive water-soluble fullerene (C(60)) polymeric systems. Stimuli-responsive polymers, when grafted onto C(60) impart "smart" and "responsive" characteristics, and these novel materials adopt various morphologies when subjected to external stimuli, such as pH, temperature, and salt. Various synthetic approaches for producing C(60)-polymers are outlined and discussed. The responsive behavior, water solubility, and self-assembly characteristics of these C(60)-polymers make them attractive for applications such as drug delivery, temperature sensors, and personal care.
这篇综述记录了水相溶性富勒烯(C(60))聚合物体系在刺激响应方面的进展。刺激响应聚合物接枝到 C(60)上后赋予其“智能”和“响应”特性,这些新型材料在受到 pH 值、温度和盐等外部刺激时会呈现出各种形态。本文概述并讨论了各种用于制备 C(60)-聚合物的合成方法。这些 C(60)-聚合物的响应行为、水溶性和自组装特性使它们在药物输送、温度传感器和个人护理等应用中具有吸引力。
