Multi-stimuli responsive supramolecular hydrogels based on Fe3+ and diblock copolymer micelle complexation
Keyword(s):
We report a multi-stimuli responsive supramolecular hydrogel with great potential for biomedical application, which was composed of the micelle-forming diblock copolymer and physically cross-linked by complexation between ferric ions and carboxylic acid groups, exhibiting gel–sol transition caused by UV irradiation, multidentate ligands (EDTA) and redox agents (Na2S2O4).
