Abstract
Abstract Nano- and micro-sized stimuli-responsive polymer containers capable of an effective controlled binding and release of ionic amphiphilic drugs are highly demanded in drug delivery. Thermoresponsive cross-linked microgels based on N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) were synthesized by precipitation polymerization in aqueous media. The microgels were functionalized by the introduction of an ionic component (acrylic acid, AA, or vinyl sulfonate, VSA) either as a comonomer (NIPAM-co-AA and NIPAM-co-VSA microgels) or interpenetrating polymer network (PNIPAM-PAA microgel). The thermoresponsive behavior of the microgels was investigated by high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry. Thermodynamic parameters of the phase transitions (the transition temperature, enthalpy, and width) for the copolymer and interpenetrating microgels were determined. The copolymer microgels involving weak and strong ionogenic groups differ drastically by the transition energetics. This implies different types of their primary structures provided by either comonomer affinity or segregation in the reaction mixture under the polymerization conditions. The microgel functionalization via interpenetrating networks does not affect notably the transition temperature typical of the reference parent PNIPAM microgel but reduces the transition cooperativity. An analysis of the heat capacity profile of the microgel phase transition reveals some features of the mechanism of the thermoresponsivity in the microgels.
