Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/mesoporous silica thermosensitive composite hydrogels for drug loading and release

Temperature-sensitive hydrogels are attracting increasing attention for controlled drug delivery. However, achieving high drug loadings and sustained drug release remains challenging. Herein, we describe the successful synthesis of a series of novel temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA)/mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) hydrogels by physical crosslinking of NIPA with MSN. The external and internal structures, temperature sensitivity, drug-loading capacity, and blood compatibility of the PNIPA/MSN composite hydrogels are studied. Results show that MSN addition improved the network structure and adjusted the size of the hole, MSN could also act as drug carrier, thereby enhancing the drug loading capacity. The composite hydrogels underwent a phase transition at 33.7 °C (at the lower critical solution temperature). The hemolysis rate of the composite hydrogels was less than 1%, thus they can be classified as a nonhemolytic materials with good biocompatibility. The composite hydrogels reported here thus have great potential in drug transport and temperature-activated drug release. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137, 48391.

聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)/石墨烯纳米复合水凝胶的制备及其溶胀性能

聚N-异丙基丙烯酰胺(Poly N-isopropylacrylamide,PNIPA)是一种能对外界温度产生响应的智能水凝胶.但是它的平衡溶胀率和响应速度不高,其应用受到一定的限制.本文通过原位聚合法制备了聚N-异丙基丙烯酰胺/氧化石墨烯(GO)水凝胶复合材料.并采用化学还原法对其还原获得了PNIPA/石墨烯复合水凝胶.通过傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)和扫描电镜(SEM)分别表征了凝胶的化学结构和内部形态.测定了凝胶的平衡溶胀率、温度响应性及其在高温(45℃)时的消溶胀性能.研究结果表明:石墨烯的加入使凝胶的多孔结构增加,水释放通道增加,因而PNIPA/石墨烯水凝胶显示出更高的平衡溶胀率,更快的消溶胀速度以及更敏感的温度响应性.

Supercritical carbon dioxide–assisted synthesis of stimuli-responsive magnetic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)–ferrite biocompatible nanocomposites for targeted and controlled drug delivery

Supercritical carbon dioxide–assisted synthesis of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)–ferrite nanocomposites was carried out by polymerization reaction of N-isopropyl acrylamide monomer in the presence of ferrite nanoparticles. They were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry analysis. Drug loading and release profiles were studied. Nanomaterials showed pH-dependent drug release profile. Polymer nanocomposites in comparison to ferrite nanoparticles showed impressive drug release activity, with a release percent of 20.98–76.54%, and greater biocompatibility in breast cancer cells, with a cell viability of 81–93%. This pH-dependent drug release activity and magnetic property of polymer nanocomposites can be used for controlled and targeted drug delivery.

HYDRATION AND PHASE SEPARATION OF TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE WATER-SOLUBLE POLYMERS

Collapse of a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) chain upon heating and phase diagrams of aqueous PNIPAM solutions with very fiat LCST phase separation line are theoretically studied on the basis of cooperative dehydration (simultaneous dissociation of bound water molecules in a group of correlated sequence), and compared with the experimental observation of temperature-induced coil-globule transition by light scattering methods. The transition becomes methanol is also studied from the viewpoint of competitive hydrogen bonds between polymer-water and polymer-methanol.The downward shift of the cloud-point curves (LCST cononsolvency) with the mole fraction of methanol due to the competition is calculated and compared with the experimental data. Aqueous solutions of hydophobically-modified PNIPAM carrying short alkyl chains at both chain ends (telechelic PNIPAM) are theoretically and experimentally studied. The LCST of these solutions is found to shift downward along the sol-gel transition curve as a result of end-chain association (association-induced phase separation), and separate from the coil-globule transition line. Associated structures in the solution, such as flower micelles, mesoglobules and higher fractal assembly, are studied by USANS with theoretical modeling of the scattering function.
