Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) shows a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at $32^{\circ}C$. Consequently, its thermosensitivity has extensively been investigated in coating materials as well as biomedical and agricultural industry. However, mechanical properties of the swollen gels are generally poor and reinforcement is often desired. A series of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) and emulsion blends hydrogels of polyurethane (PU) and PNIPAAm were prepared in order to overcome the shortcomings of a normal PNIPAAm hydrogels. Regarding the mechanical reinforcement of swollen gel, a significant increase in compression and tensile properties has been obtained by incorporating PU.

Comb-type graft hydrogels composed of alginate and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) were prepared to manifest rapid temperature and pH sensitivity. To appear the electro-sensitivity, the polyaniline, conducting polymer, was added into the matrix. The swelling kinetics and ratios were compared under the various compositions of polyaniline. The swelling behaviors revealed that conducting polymer/hydrogel composites could control the swelling ratio and kinetics. The addition of polyaniline in the matrix improved the thermal stability in comparison with that of the hydrogel without polyaniline. In temperature sensitivity, the adding the polyaniline into the matrix decreased the degree of change in the swelling ratio. The swelling ratios continuously increased with increasing pH values. The drug release rate from the hydrogel increased with the adding the polyaniline and the applying the direct voltage to the hydrogels.

A thermoresponsive poly(NIPAM-co-dye) labeled with benzopyran-based D-$\pi$-A type dye was prepared by typical radical copolymerization. It can be also constructed a acid/base-induced molecular switch by modulation of intramolecular charge transfer with protonation/deprotonation. The lower critical solution temperature behavior was investigated by means of UV-vis spectroscopy which allows the measurement of the phase transition from $25^{\circ}C$ to $45^{\circ}C$ in aqueous DMSO solution. The morphology of the internal microstructure of the poly(NIPAM-co-dye) hydrogel was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The reversible switch could be obtained by thermal and acid/base stimuli.

We prepared temperature-sensitive liposomes (TS-liposomes) modified with a thermo sensitive polymer, such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), to increase the degree of drug release from liposomes at the hyperthermic temperature. A PNIPAAm hydrogel containing TS-Iiposomes was also prepared to obtain a hydrogel complex at body temperature. In addition, a depot system for local drug delivery using the polymer hydrogel was developed to enhance therapeutic efficacy and prevent severe side effects in the whole body. The PNIPAAm-mod­ified TS-liposome was fixed into the PNIPAAm hydrogel having a high temperature-sensitivity. The release behavior of calcein, a model drug, from TS-liposomes in the PNIPAAm hydrogel was then initiated by external hyperthermia; the results indicated that sustained release as a function of temperature and time was caused by the thermosensitivity of the liposome surface and diffusion of the drug into the PNIPAAm hydrogel. Our results indicated that TS-liposomes in a PNIPAAm hydrogel represented a plausible system for local drug delivery.

We have studied the micellisation of poly(n-butyl acrylate)-block-poly(acrylic acid) and poly(n-butyl acrylate)-graft-poly(acrylic acid) in aqueous solution. The size and structure of the formed micelles was elucidated by scattering and imaging techniques. The micelle structure depends on pH, composition, and topology: graft copolymers form much smaller micelles that block copolymers of similar composition. We have also synthesized block copolymers of acrylic acid and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) or N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEAAm). Due to the LCST of polyNIPAAm and polyDEAAm, these block copolymers spontaneously form micelles upon heating and they form inverse micelles upon decreasing pH below 4. If the LCST block is much longer than the PAA one, this presents a very convenient way to prepare crew-cut micelles. The polymers have been successfully used as stabilizers in emulsion polymerization. They also have been conjugated to streptavidin. The conjugates reversibly form mesoscopic particles on heating.

Copolymers composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) were prepared to create temperature-sensitive injectable gels for use in controlled drug delivery applications. Semi-telechelic PNIPAAm, with amino groups at the end of each main chain, was synthesized by radical polymerization using 2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride (AESH) as the chain transfer agent, and was then grafted onto the carboxyl groups of HA using carbodiimide chemistry. The result of the thermo-optical analysis revealed that the phase transition of the PNIPAAm-grafted HA solution occurred at around 30$\∼$33$^{circ}C$. As the graft yield of PNIPAAm onto the HA backbone increased, the HA-g-PNIPAAm copolymer solution exhibited sharper phase transition. The short chain PNIPAAm-grafted HA ($M_{w}$=6,100) showed a narrower temperature range for optical turbidity changes than the long chain PNIPAAm-grafted HA ($M_{w}$=13,100). PNIPAAm-grafted HA exhibited an increase in viscosity above 35$^{circ}C$, thus allowing the gels to maintain their shape for 24 h after in vivo administration. From the in vitro riboflavin release study, the HA-g-PNIPAAm gel showed a more sustained release behavior when the grafting yield of PNIPAAm onto the HA backbone was increased. In addition, BSA released from the PNIPAAm-g-HA gels showed a maximum concentration in the blood 12 h after being injected into the dorsal surface of a rabbit, followed by a sustained release profile after 60 h.

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM)는 체온과 비슷한 온도에서 부피상 변화 혹은 온도 감응성 팽윤 거동의 특성을 보여 약물전달시스템에서 중요하게 연구되고 있다. 그러나 PNIPAM의 친수성 특징 때문에 소수성 약물을 그 네트워크 안에 고르게 넣기는 쉽지 않다. 항산화제인 알파 리포익산은 개환중합으로 고분자화(polylipoic acid, PLA) 될 수는 있으나, 분자량이 낮고 분해되기 쉬워 고분자 재료로 사용되기에는 어려움이 많다. 이러한 결점들을 극복하기 위해 소수성 활성성분인 알파 리포익산을 NIPAM과 반응시켜 안정적인 하이드로젤을 만들었다. 단순한 혼합과 가열에 의한 라디칼 반응으로 하이드로젤(PNIPAM/PLA)이 성공적으로 만들어졌고, 이를 DSC, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy를 통해서 확인하였다. PNIPAM/PLA는 온도 감응성 특성을 보여주며, 리포익산의 함량이 증가할수록 부피팽창 정도는 감소하였다. 이러한 하이드로젤을 사용하여 PNIPAM에 소수성 약물을 쉽게 담지할 수 있고 리포익산은 항산화제로 효과가 있어, 본 하이드로젤은 최종 약물전달체로서도 유용하다.

생물학적 의약품, 식품 등과 같이 저온 유통 체계(cold chain)를 관리하는데 있어서 제품 용기에 부착하여 보관 온도 이상에 노출될 경우 비가역적인 변화를 일으켜 고온 노출여부를 검지 할 수 있는 라벨의 소재로소 poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-t-butylacrylamide) [p(NIPAAm-co-t-BAM)]수화겔의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. p(NIPAAm-co-t-BAM)수화겔은 cold chain 온도인 8$^{\circ}$C 이하에서 온도 민감성을 갖도록 t-BAM양을 조절하여 레독스 중합반응을 통하여 저온 (4$^{\circ}$C)합성하였고, 또한 oli해(NIPAAm-co-t-BAM) 공중합체를 그라프트하여 빗살 구조를 가지는 가교수화겔을 제조함으로써 수화겔의 수축 팽윤 속도를 향상시키고자 하였다. 합성 된 수화겔의 lower critical solution temperatures(LCSTs)는 흐림 점 측정법과 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 이용하여 측정하였으며, NIPAAm 단량체와 빗살형태의 t-BAM 공중합체의 조성비가 가교제의 양에 따라 수화겔의 수축과 팽윤 거동을 관찰하였다. 소수성기를 포함하는 t-BAM의 조성비율에 따라 8$^{\circ}$C 이하 저온에서 수화겔의 LCST조절이 가능하며, 빗살 형태로 그라프트된 공중합체의 조성비에 따라 수축-팽윤율 및 속도의 조절이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다.

온도 변화에 따라 상 전이를 나타내는 열 감응성 고분자는 외부 온도 감응으로 태양광 투과 조절이 가능하므로 스마트 윈도우용 소재로 적용 가능하다. 넒은 온도 범위에서 사용 가능한 스마트 윈도용 열감응성 고분자의 개발은 바람직하다. 고 성능스마트 윈도우용 소재를 얻기 위하여, 단량체 N-isopropylacrylamide, 가교제 N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAm), 산화개시제 ammonium persulfate (APS)/촉매 tetramethylene diamine 및 혼합용매(물/글리세롤)을 사용하여 3차원의 열감응성(thermoresponsive) poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) 겔을 제조하였다. 본 연구에서는 혼합용매 중의 글리세롤의 함량이 가교된 PNIPAm 겔 필름의 하한임계온도(low critical solution temperature, LCST), 어는점 및 태양광의 투광도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 글리세롤 함량이 0 wt%에서 10 wt%로 증가하면 PNIPAm 겔 필름의 LCST/어는점은 각각 $34.3/6.3^{\circ}C$에서 $28.2/-6.5^{\circ}C$로 감소함을 알 수 있었다. LCST보다 낮은 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 본 연구에서 합성한 모든 PNIPAm 겔 필름은 투명(광 투과)하지만 LCST보다 높은 $45^{\circ}C$에서는 불투명하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 본 연구에서 합성한 PNIPAm 겔 소재는 $-6.5^{\circ}C$ 부근에서도 스마트 윈도우용 소재로 활용할 가능성이 높음을 알 수 있다.
