Micropumps operated by swelling and shrinking of temperature-sensitive hydrogels.
This paper describes two types of polymeric micropumps based on the temperature-sensitive hydrogel poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). The gel actuators are realised as photopolymerised patterns and microgels. They are electrothermically controlled by resistive heating elements. The diffusion-based micropump contains a photopatterned monolithic actuator, which is placed within the pump chamber, and pr...
متن کاملnumerical analysis of temperature-sensitive hydrogels for controlled drug release
today hydrogels are considered as the materials that are able to play important role in drug delivery systems. to design an effective hydrogel applicable network, mathematical modeling has a critical role. a successful drug delivery device relies not only on intelligent network design but also on accurate prior mathematical modeling of drug release profiles. in this study, the modeling of the i...
متن کاملTemperature sensitive poly(N-t-butylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) hydrogels: synthesis and swelling behavior
A series of temperature sensitive hydrogels was prepared by free-radical crosslinking copolymerization of N-t-butylacrylamide (TBA) and acrylamide in methanol. N,N0-methylenebis(acrylamide) was used as the crosslinker. It was shown that the swelling behavior of the hydrogels can be controlled by changing the amount of TBA units in the network chains. Hydrogels immersed in dimethylsulfoxide (DMS...

The study of hydrogels and their response to external environment is of special interest because of their potential as drug delivery systems,1,2 actuators,3 and separation devices.4,5 Temperature-sensitive hydrogels undergo a reversible swellingdeswelling transition with a small change of temperature near the phase transition point.6 A frequently studied thermosensitive hydrogel is based on sol...
متن کاملChemically-induced swelling of hydrogels
We consider a continuum model for chemically-induced volume transitions in hydrogels. Consistent with experimental observations, the theory allows for a sharp interface separating swelled and collapsed phases of the underlying polymer network. The polymer chains are treated as a solute with an associated diffusion potential and their concentration is assumed to be discontinuous across the inter...
