Thermo-responsive hydrogel can change their swelling behavior and drug release characteristics in response to environmental temperature [1–5]. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) hydrogel undergoes a phase transition when the temperatue is lower than a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of ∼32°C in aqueous solution [8], and drug release profiles in PNIPA hydrogel can be controlled by the alternation of their solution temperatures.

The grafted hydrogels of N-isopropylacrylamide (IPAAm) with 2-hydroxyethylacrylate (HEA) was prepared in an aqueous solution using ammonium persulfate (APS) and N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylethylene diamine (TEMED) as an accelerator. Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and swelling ratios were measured as a function of temperature. The properties of the hydrogels contained pyrenyl probe in water were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy.

Tetrabutylphosphonium styrenesulfonate and its homopolymer showed a lower critical solution temperature-type phase transition in water. As the hydrophobicity of these monomeric and polymeric salts affects phase behaviour, the phase transition temperature of the polyelectrolyte was changed by the introduction of monomers having different alkyl chain length on the phosphonium cations.
