Application

Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PolyNIPAM) is a stimuli-responsive polymer. This product features low polydispersity (PDI), which typically leads to better reproducibility in applications, and a terminal N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) functional group, allowing for rapid conjugation of biomolecules, small molecules, or other polymers. PolyNIPAM has been used in development of a variety of thermosensitive coated micro/nano materials, including thermoresponsive polymeric drug delivery systems.

There are many potential applications of 'intelligent' aqueous polymer systems in medicine, biotechnology, industry and in environmental problems. Many of these polymer systems undergo reversible phase transitions--for example, abrupt changes in volume--in response to external stimuli such as temperature, pH

An efficient and scale-up ready single-step synthesis for the conjugation of thermoresponsive polymers to hyaluronic acid (HA) was established. Jeffamines(®) (JFM) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) were grafted to HA via direct amidation mediated by 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole activation. The temperature-induced gelation of the
