Abstract

Hydrogels are the three-dimensional network structures obtained from a class of synthetic or natural polymers which can absorb and retain a significant amount of water. Hydrogels are one of the most studied classes of polymer-based controlled drug release. These have attracted considerable attention in biochemical and biomedical fields because of their characteristics, such as swelling in aqueous medium, biocompatibility, pH and temperature sensitivity or sensitivity towards other stimuli, which can be utilized for their controlled zero-order release. The hydrogels are expected to explore new generation of self-regulated delivery system having a wide array of desirable properties. This review highlights the exciting opportunities and challenges in the area of hydrogels. Here, we review different literatures on stimuli-sensitive hydrogels, such as role of temperature, electric potential, pH and ionic strength to control the release of drug from hydrogels.

  • Anionic hydrogel-forming albumin can show pH-responsiveness by swelling in basic pH medium and shrinking in acidic pH.

    “The anionic hydrogel forming albumin can show pH-responsiveness by swelling in basic pH medium and shrinking in acidic pH [27,81].”

    From Review of Stimuli-Responsive Polymers in Drug Delivery and Textile Application (2019) · cites this paper as [27]

    The pH-sensitive or ion-sensitive hydrogels section says an anionic polymer, polyacrylic acid, swells more at high pH, supporting the general pH-response pattern. It does not identify albumin as that polymer or establish that albumin hydrogels swell in basic conditions and shrink in acidic conditions (searched: albumin; albumin hydrogel swelling acidic basic pH).

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.
