Thermo- and pH-responsive polymers in drug delivery☆
Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymers show a sharp change in properties upon a small or modest change in environmental condition, e.g. temperature, light, salt concentration or pH. This behaviour can be utilised for the preparation of so-called 'smart' drug delivery systems, which mimic biological response behaviour to a certain extent. The possible environmental conditions to use for this purpose are limited due to the biomedical setting of drug delivery as application. Different organs, tissues and cellular compartments may have large differences in pH, which makes the pH a suitable stimulus. Therefore the majority of examples, discussed in this paper, deal with pH-responsive drug delivery system. Thermo-responsive polymer is also covered to a large extent, as well as double-responsive system. The physico-chemical behaviour underlying the phase transition will be discussed in brief. Then selected examples of applications are described.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
