Objective: This study involves the synthesis of Gum tragacanth (gt) based interpenetrating polymer network (ipn) and its utilization for sustained release of anti-ulcerative drug i.e. pantoprazole sodium. Methods: IPN was synthesized from Gum tragacanth, polyacrylic acid (gt-cl-paa) hydrogel. gt-cl-paa was kept in distilled water. Further, acryamide (aam) and methylmethacrylate (mma) was added and then kept for overnight. Later on, lipase and glutaraldehyde were added. Homopolymers and the unreacted monomers were removed using acetone. Synthesized IPN was dried at 50 °C for further study. Synthesized ipn was swelled in water and the drug was added to it. The drug was entrapped in the pores of the synthesized ipn and then drug release behavior was studied using uv-vis spectrophotometer. Results: Gt, paa and mma based crosslinked IPN were synthesized using lipase-glutaraldehyde as initiator-crosslinker system. The synthesized IPN was pH sensitive and possessed the desired swelling capacity required for the controlled and systematic liberation of pantoprazole sodium at 37 °C. The kinetic of drug release was studied and found that lateral diffusion (DL) of drug was higher as compared to the initial diffusion (DI). The prepared IPN can be used as prospective carrier for prolonged drug delivery. Conclusion: A novel pH sensitive and colon targeted IPN was synthesized. It acts as an effective device for the controlled release of drug pantoprazole sodium.

Konjac glucomannan with different molecular weights/poly(acrylic acid) hydrogels were prepared in this paper. The structure of the IPN hydrogels was characterized by FT-IR and SEM. The swelling ratio of these hydrogels showed they had pH-sensitive properties and the enzymatic degradation tests showed the hydrogels retain the enzymatic degradation character of KGM. Furthermore, hydrogel composed of native KGM degraded sharply in enzymatic degradation test and it had bigger swelling ratio and weight loss ratio than those hydrogels which composed of lower molecular weights KGM. Therefore, hydrogels composed of lower molecular weight might release drug more stable when they were used as drug carrier.

Poly Acrylic Acid

Carbon nanotube (CNT) polymer composites were synthesized via in situ nitroxide-mediated diblock copolymerization. Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was chosen as a first block to obtain a precomposite CNT-PAA which is readily dispersible in various solvents including water. The immobilization of the stable poly(acrylic acid) alkoxyamine functionality on the nanotube surface occurs during the synthesis of the first block without CNT prior treatment. The living character of this block is established by spectroscopic methods and the nature of the CNT/PAA interaction is discussed. This living first block offers the opportunity to reinitiate the polymerization of a second block that can be chosen among a wide range of monomers. This versatility is illustrated with a second block containing methyl acrylate (MA) or styrene (S). Scanning and transmission electron microscopies confirm good CNT dispersion in the polymer network, while transmission electron microscopy also spots the anchorage locations of PAA on the CNT surface. Such nanotubes wrapped by diblock copolymers can be dispersed in various polymer matrices to create CNT—polymer composites. Conductivity measurements show that these composites obey a percolation-like power law with a low percolation threshold (less than 0.5 vol%) and a high maximum conductivity (up to 1.5 S/cm at room temperature).
