Poly(2-oxazoline)-Based Thermoresponsive Stomatocytes.

The design of biocompatible and biodegradable nanostructures with controlled morphological features remains a predominant challenge in medical research. Stimuli-responsive vesicles offer significant advantages in drug delivery, biomedical applications, and diagnostic techniques. The combination of poly(2-oxazoline)s with biodegradable polymers could provide exceptional biocompatibility properties and be proposed as a versatile platform for the development of new medicines.

pH dependent degradation properties of lactide based 3D microchamber arrays for sustained cargo release.

Encapsulation of small water soluble molecules is important in a large variety of applications, ranging from medical substance releasing implants in the field of medicine over release of catalytically active substances in the field of chemical processing to anti-corrosion agents in industry. In this work polylactic acid (PLA) based hollow-structured microchamber (MC) arrays are fabricated via one-step dip coating of a silicone rubber stamp into PLA solution. These PLA MCs are able to retain small water soluble molecules (Rhodamine B) stably entrapped within aqueous environments.
