Abstract

Thermoresponsive polymers change their physical properties as the temperature is changed and have found extensive use in a number of fields, especially in tissue engineering and in the development of drug delivery systems. The synthesis of a novel core-shell nanogel composed of N-isopropylacrylamide and sulfobetaine by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization is reported. The core-shell architecture of the nanogels is confirmed using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in scanning transmission electron microscopy. These nanogels exhibit dual thermoresponsive behavior, i.e., the core of the nanogel exhibits lower critical solution temperature, while the shell displays upper critical solution temperature behavior. Transition temperatures can be easily tuned by changing the molecular weight of the constituent polymer. These nanogels can be efficiently used in temperature-triggered delivery of therapeutic proteins and drugs.

摘要

温敏聚合物会随着温度的变化而改变其物理性质,在许多领域都有广泛的应用,特别是在组织工程和药物传递系统的开发中。本文报道了一种通过可逆加成-断裂链转移聚合合成的由 N-异丙基丙烯酰胺和磺酸甜菜碱组成的新型核壳纳米凝胶。通过扫描透射电子显微镜中的能量色散 X 射线能谱证实了纳米凝胶的核壳结构。这些纳米凝胶表现出双重温敏行为,即纳米凝胶的核表现出较低的临界溶解温度,而壳表现出较高的临界溶解温度行为。通过改变组成聚合物的分子量,可以很容易地调节转变温度。这些纳米凝胶可有效地用于温度触发的治疗蛋白和药物的递送。
