Biomaterials science integrates smart materials into biological research, requiring a deep understanding of biological systems.

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), or PNIPAM, is a stimuli-responsive polymer that responds to changes in pH and temperature and has a LCST around 32 C.

By altering the physicochemical properties, smart or intelligent drug delivery systems can be designed to deliver therapeutic molecules on-demand. Learn more about the application of stimuli-responsive materials in drug delivery.

We report a novel drug delivery system for apoptosis induction by a "smart" polymer vehicle possessing thermosensitivity and bioaffinity. The polymer chain was prepared by copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide and N-methacryloyloxysuccinimide. Cell-adhesive RGDS peptide was conjugated with the copolymer as a

In this report we describe a straightforward approach to synthesize polymers with end-groups that bind site-specifically to two different proteins. Telechelic biotin, maleimide poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAAm) was synthesized for the formation of streptavidin (SAv)-bovine serum albumin (BSA) polymer conjugates.
