The Research on Intelligent Controlled DDS of Polymer Carrier

The intelligent controlled drug delivery systems (DDS) are a series of the preparations including microcapsules or nanocapsules composed of intelligent polymers and medication. The properties of preparations can change with the external stimuli, such as pH value, temperature,chemical substance, light, electricity and magnetism etc. According to this properties, the DDS can be intelligently controlled. This paper has reviemed research on syntheses and applications of intelligent controlled DDS of polymer carriers.Drug delivery system with pH stimuliThe volume of polymer hydrogel can change with the pH value of external environment. The sensitive polymer hydrogels to pH are often as carriers. The polymer hydrogel carrying medicine is especially suitable for taking orally. In order to protect medicine from losing activation, we enwrapped medicine into polymer hydrogel with acidic group. In the acidic environment of stomach,the volume of polymer hydrogel contracts because of the hydrogen bond. The medicine in the polymer hydrogel cannot disperse out. When it goes to the intestine of basic environment, the hydrogen bond will be broken, and the medicine can release.Drug delivery system with temperatureTemperature sensitive polymer hydrogel can change its volume with changing of environmental temperature. This kind of polymer hydrogel can be also used as a carrier of medicine. At a low temperature, the polymer chains form hydrogen bond with water to swell to let medicine disperse out from the hydrogel. On the other hand, the hydrogen bond will be broken and polymer chain will lose water to contract with temperature's increasing. And the medicine will not disperse out. For example,the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm) is the hydrogel that is swelled at lower temperature and contracted at higher temperature. PNIPAAm has the lower critical solution temperature(LCST).We can adjust its LCST to control PNIPAAm hydrogel's swelling or contraction to let medicine release or not.Drug delivery system with other stimuliThe polymer carrier drug delivery system can be intelligently controlled with the stimuli of pH value and temperature. In addition, there are still some other stimuli for DDS. For example, DDS with light; DDS with electricity(or electric field); DDS with magnetism(magnetic field); DDS with chemical substance; etc. The characteristic of intelligent polymer carrier is based on P.J.Flory's gel-swelling theory. Intelligent polymer carrier DDS will be widely used in biological and medical fields.     

Current Intelligent Injectable Hydrogels for In Situ Articular Cartilage Regeneration

Abstract

A high number of sport injuries result in damage to articular cartilage, a tissue type with poor self-healing capacity. Articular cartilage tissue is a sophisticated hydrogel, which contains 80% water and possesses strong mechanical properties. For this reason, synthetic hydrogels are thought to be an optimal material for cartilage regeneration. In the last decade, more than 2,000 research papers pertaining to “hydrogel and cartilage” have been published. Due to its biomimetic properties and user-friendly nature, especially in the field of minimal invasive surgery, intelligent injectable hydrogel have gradually become a focal point in cartilage research in recent years. In this review, we systematically summarize current “state-of-the-art” manufacture technologies of injectable hydrogels including ion-induced, thermo-induced, non-induced chemical, and light-induced crosslinking. We also review current strategies for designing intelligent injectable hydrogels, such as component-based, mechanical property-based and structure-based intelligent design to simulate the natural articular cartilage. Lastly, the applications of intelligent injectable hydrogels for cartilage regeneration are presented, and their outlooks for future clinical translation is dicussed.     

The Research of Biomedical Intelligent Polymer Materials

The properties of biomedical intelligent polymer materials can be changed obviously when there is a little physical or chemical change caused by external condition. They are in the forms of solids, solutions and the polymers on the surface of carrier, and include water solution of hydrophilic polymers, cross-linking hydrophilic polymers(i.e. hydrogels) and the polymers on the surface of carrier. The environmental stimulating factors are temperature, pH value, composition of solution, ionic intention, light intention, electric field, stress field and magnetic field etc.. The properties of intelligent polymer are those of phase, photics, mechanics, electric field, surface energy,reaction ratio, penetrating ratio and recognition etc..Stimulation-response of intelligent water-soluble polymerWater-soluble intelligent polymer can be separated out from solution under special external condition. It can be used as the switch of temperature or pH indicator. When water-soluble intelligent polymer is mixed with soluble-enzyme matter or cell suspension, the polymer can bring phase separation and react with soluble-enzyme matter or cell membrane through accepting some external stimulation. Other water-soluble intelligent polymer is that can make the main chemical group of some natural biomolecular recognition sequence section to arrange on skeleton of polymer at random. It is the same ratio as natural biomolecules.Stimulation-response of intelligent polymer of carrier surface Intelligent polymer can be fixed on the surface of solid polymer carrier through chemical grafting or physical adsorption. When the external conditions are changed, the thickness, humidity and electric field of the surface layer will be changed. Intelligent polymer can be preparated the permanence switch by precipitating into the hole of porous surface, and it can control on-off state of the hole. When protein or cell interacts with intelligent polymer surface to be placed in to open or close, they can be selectively absorbed on hydrophobic surface.Stimulation-response of intelligent polymer hydrogelIntelligent polymer hydrogel's construction, physical property, and chemical property can change with the changing of external environmental conditions. When environmental stimulation signal, for example, solution composition, pH value, ionic intention, temperature, light intention, electric field,magnetic field and substance etc. changes, the intelligent polymer will occur to break of volume.This is the intelligence of polymer hydrogel.The intelligence of these polymers will be widely applied in biomedical fields.

Study on intelligent deformation characteristics of temperature‐driven hydrogel actuators prepared via molding and 3D printing

The poly‐N‐isopropylacrylamide intelligent hydrogel actuators with high mechanical strength and efficient temperature responses were successfully prepared via molding and three‐dimensional (3D) printing. Addition of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) effectively improved the crosslinking density and viscosity of hydrogels, enhancing the mechanical strength and 3D printable property. Based on sufficient polymerization on interface, bilayer hydrogel actuator prepared via molding exhibited efficient bending/unbending deformations. Bending degree in poikilothermy temperature ranging from 25°C to 55°C was higher than that in constant temperature of 55°C. Inspired by the rheology regulation of NFC, 3D printing intelligent hydrogel actuators with NFC content of 10 mg/mL were polymerized efficiently by ultraviolet irradiation. Self‐driven deformation characteristics of 3D printed intelligent hydrogels actuators were regulated via printing parameters including angle, width and length ratio and filling rate of the layered network structure model. The prepared hydrogel material system with molding and 3D printing ability provided material candidates for design and preparation of intelligent soft actuator and robot.

New hydrogel systems and nanocomposites based on acrylic monomers (acrylamide, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, N-isopropylacrylamide etc.) with incorporated nanosized colloidal silver, hydroxyapatite and carbon nanotubes with a new set of properties have been obtained and examined. These systems can sharply change their characteristics when minor external physical (electric and magnetic fields, temperature etc.) or chemical (pH, ionic strength) stimuli are applied. Such stimulus-responsive polymeric systems are very promising from the standpoint of different medical applications, especially for the development of intelligent drug delivery systems. On the base of designed hydrogel iontophoretic transdermal therapeutic systems, endoprosthesis for the replacement of bone tissue and hydrogel burns coatings with immobilized mesenchymal cells were obtained and tested.
