Dual thermo- and pH-responsive chromatography has been proposed using poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-butyl methacrylate-co-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl acrylamide) (P(NIPAM-co-BMA-co-DMAPAAM)) brushes grafted gigaporous polystyrene microspheres (GPM) as matrix. Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiator was first coupled onto GPM through Friedel-Crafts acylation with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide. The dual-responsive polymer brushes were then grafted onto GPM via surface-initiated ATRP. The surface composition, gigaporous structure, protein adsorption and dual-responsive chromatographic properties of the matrix (GPM-P(NIPAM-co-BMA-co-DMAPAAM) were characterized in detail. Results showed that GPM were successfully grafted with thermoresponsive cationic polymer brushes and that the gigaporous structure was well maintained. A column packed with GPM-P(NIPAM-co-BMA-co-DMAPAAM presented low backpressure, good permeability and appreciable thermo-responsibility. By changing pH of the mobile phase and temperature of the column in turn, the column can separate three model proteins at the mobile phase velocity up to 2528cmh(-1). A separation mechanism of this matrix was also proposed. All results indicate that the dual thermo- and pH-responsive chromatography matrix has great potentials in 'green' high-speed protein chromatography.

Intelligent hydrogels are promising in constructing scaffolds for the controlled delivery of drugs. Here, a dual thermo- and pH-responsive hydrogel called PCG [poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-itaconic acid)/chitosan/glycerophosphate (PNI/CS/GP)] was established as the carrier of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment. The PCG hydrogel was fabricated by blending synthesized [poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-itaconic acid), pNIAAm-co-IA, PNI] with CS in the presence of GP as a crosslinking agent.

Anionic thermo- and pH-responsive copolymers were synthesized by photoiniferter reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (PI-RAFT). The thermo-responsive properties were provided by oligo(ethylene glycol)-based macromonomer units containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties. The pH-responsive properties were enabled by the addition of 5-20 mol% of strong (2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic) and weak (methacrylic) acids.

The development of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems enables targeted delivery and environment-controlled drug release, thereby minimizing off-target effects and systemic toxicity. We prepared and studied tailor-made dual-responsive systems (thermo- and pH-) based on synthetic diblock copolymers consisting of a fully hydrophilic block of poly[-(1,3-dihydroxypropyl)methacrylamide] (poly(DHPMA)) and a thermoresponsive block of poly[-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)methacrylamide] (poly(DHPMA-acetal)) as drug delivery and smart stimuli-responsive materials. The copolymers were designed for eventual medical application to be fully soluble in aqueous solutions at 25 °C.

The synthesis of fluorescent hybrid nanomaterials engineered via the chain-end modification of reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymers on the surface of bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein-stabilized gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@BSA) is described. Based on the "grafting-to" approach the core-shell structured nanoconjugates AuNCs@BSA/polymer are generated via effective ligation of hydrophilic, and stimuli-responsive polymers. Such nanomaterials are characterized via various microscopic and spectroscopic studies and exhibit their size as ≈5 nm and emission peak at ≈650 nm.

Article Synopsis
  • This study presents the creation of new filter materials that respond to both pH and temperature changes, utilizing polymers PNIPAM and PAA.
  • PNIPAM provides temperature sensitivity, while PAA is responsible for pH responsiveness, allowing these materials to change their properties in response to environmental conditions.
  • The dual-responsive filters can adjust their hydrophilicity, pore size, and permeability, enhancing their filtration efficiency and effectiveness at capturing contaminants while minimizing fouling.
