Synthesis and characterisation of novel temperature and pH sensitive physically crosslinked poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-itaconic acid) hydrogels for drug delivery.
Fallon, Megan; Halligan, Shane; Pezzoli, Romina; Geever, Luke; Higginbotham, Clement (MDPI, 2019-08-29)Previous studies involving poly N-vinylcaprolactam (PNVCL) and itaconic acid (IA) have synthesised the hydrogels with the presence of a solvent and a crosslinker, producing chemically crosslinked hydrogel systems. In this ...
