The stimuli-responsive nanocomposites were designed as drug delivery nanocarriers. Thanks to promising properties such as large surface area and easy chemical functionalization, the graphene derivatives can be used for the drug delivery applications. For this purpose, in the current work, the poly(L,D-lactide)-block-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-rand-acrylic acid) grafted from reduced graphene oxi...

Here described is a phenylboronic acid (PBA) based glucose-responsive hydrogel operating under physiological pH and temperature, a material potentially applicable to a totally synthetic smart insulin delivery system to treat diabetes.

Abstract Background The distribution of drugs could not be controlled in the conventional delivery systems. This has led to developing a specific nanoparticle-based system, called smart drug In cancer therapy, innovative biocompatible nanocarriers have received much attention for various ranges anti-cancer drugs. this work, effect an interesting and novel copolymer named "dimethyl acrylamide-tr...

Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) can integrate multiple unit operations and operate under continuous mode, contributing to the development of sustainable separation processes. Encouraged by designer solvent features ionic liquids (ILs), we herein propose their use as components double-stimuli-responsive (temperature- pH-driven) ABS. Resorting choline-alkanoate-based ILs pH-responsive poly(propyle...

Spurred by advances in materials chemistry, molecular pharmaceutics and micro/nanobiotechnology, stimuli-responsive “smart” materials and systems have been studied extensively for various applications, including drug delivery, diagnosis, tissue engineering, and biomedical devices. In drug delivery, the dosage-, spatialand/or temporalcontrolled release of therapeutics significantly enhances the ...

Introduction Stimuli-responsive gels undergo abrupt changes in volume in response to environmental changes such as pH and temperature. Stimuli-responsive gels have attracted considerable attention as smart materials in the biochemical and biomedical fields, since they can sense environmental changes and induce structural changes by themselves. The fascinating properties of such stimuli-responsi...
