In this work, we analyze the thermoresponsive behavior of scaffolds prepared from dioctyl fumarate-N-isopropylacrylamide copolymers (DFN) with different compositions. Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of these ...

In this work, thermoresponsive polymer grafted magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles were prepared, fully characterized and tested as controlled drug delivery systems. For this purpose, iron oxide nanoparticles coated ...

Currently, the chemistry of alpha-oxoaldehydes (α-oxo-ALD) is a versatile and useful tool in the field of bioconjugation of peptides and proteins. The combination of smart materials with biomolecules also represents an ...

Highly biocompatible thermoresponsive nanogels (tNGs) based on oligo ethylene glycol (OEG) as thermoresponsive unit and dendritic polyglycerol (dPG) as cross-linker, were precisely engineered in terms of size and volume ...

Versatile, multifunctional nanomaterials for theranostic approaches in cancer treatment are highly on demand in order to increase therapeutic outcomes. Here, we developed thermo-responsive nanogels equipped with the efficient ...

The combination of magnetic nanoparticles and thermoresponsive nanogels represents an appealing strategy for the development of theranostic probes. These hybrid nanocarriers present several advantages such as outstanding ...

Temperature responsive polymers able to alter their chemical or physical properties have been extensively investigated. Most of these polymers have an alkane polymer backbone with only carbon-carbon bonds. In this sense, ...

Focused on biomedical applications of thermo-responsive polymers, low-doses of gamma radiation from a 60Co source were applied in a simple one-pot method to synthesize graft copolymers of alginate and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) ...

Skin, being the largest organ of the body, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years as a vector to deliver awide spectrum of cargo molecules to treat multiple conditions, including genetic disorders, infections by ...
