Responsive Hydrogels

The latest development in the field of smart hydrogels application as drugs carriers is shown in this chapter. Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymer network consisting of at least one hydrophilic monomer. They are insoluble in water, but in the excess presence of water or physiological fluids, swell to the equilibrium state. The amount of absorbed water depends on the chemical composition and the crosslinking degree of 3D hydrogel network and reaches over 1000% of the xerogel weight. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels exhibit significant change of their properties (swelling, color, transparency, conductivity, shape) due to small changes in the external environment conditions (pH, ionic strength, temperature, light wavelength, magnetic or electric fields, ultrasound, or a combination thereof). This smart hydrogels, with different physical and chemical properties, chemical structure and technology of obtaining, show great potential for application in the pharmaceutical industry. The application of smart hydrogels is very promising and at the beginning of the development and exploitation.

AbstractA series of hydrogels were synthesized: homopolymers of new temperature-sensitive methacrylate macromonomers of ether-ester structure, derived from monomethacrylate of tetraethylene glycol via Michael-type addition - oligo(TTEGMMA), and copolymers of oligo(TTEGMMA) with N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) or 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). Hydrogels based on oligo(TTEGMMA) demonstrate broad volume phase transition. Combination of oligo(TTEGMMA) with NIPAAm or HEMA yielded hydrogels having narrower phase transition and lower gel transition temperature (LGTT) up to 43 °C at the most, which is in the range of interest for most biomedical applications.

Responsive Hydrogels

The interpenetrating polymer network of fast temperature-responsive hydrogels based on soy protein and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) were successfully prepared using the sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solutions as the reaction medium. The structure and properties of the hydrogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis. The swelling and deswelling kinetics were also investigated in detail. The results have shown that the proposed hydrogels had high porous structure, good miscibility and thermal stability, and fast temperature responsivity. The presence of NaHCO3 had little effect on the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) of the hydrogels, and the VPTTs were at about 32?C. Compared with the traditional hydrogels, the proposed hydrogels had much faster swelling and deswelling rate. The swelling mechanism of the hydrogels was the non-Fickian diffusion. This fast temperature-responsive hydrogels may have potential applications in the field of biomedical materials.

Responsive Hydrogels

Temperature-responsive hydrogel scaffold containing chitosan and hyaluronic acid was used to entrap primary chondrocytes and meniscus cells. The effect of dynamic tensile strain on the cells/hydrogel constructs was evaluated by measuring cell proliferation, biosynthetic activity, and viability. The results demonstrated that mechanical deformation applied at 15% tensile strain, 0.5 Hz, and 10 min per day for 43 days resulted in substantial increases in glycosaminoglycan (36% for chondrocytes and 31% for meniscus cells) and collagen productions (37% for chondrocytes and 52% for meniscus cells) over static controls while not significantly affecting cell proliferation and viability.

Zinc diethyldithiocarbamate (ZDTC) is shown to catalyse the synthesis of polyurethanes, which are able to self-assemble in water to form temperature-responsive hydrogels with low sol-to-gel transition temperatures.
