As a drug delivery carrier, a novel pH/temperature sensitive bead (pTSB) with core-shelled structure from poly(N-acryloylglycine) (PAG), copoly(N-acryloylglycine methyl este and N-acryloylglycine ethyl ester) was prepared by two steps. In pH=7.4 phosphate buffer solution (PBS), the cumulative release amount of indomethacin loaded in the pTSB was about 60.1 % within 500 mins, but this value only reached to 22.3 % in pH=2.1 PBS. The release behaviors of indomethacin from pTSB also exhibited a remarkable dependence on PAG content in the core. Additionally, the release rate of indomethacin was much faster at 18 oC than that at 37 oC due to the temperature sensitivity of poly(N-acryloylglycinates). The experimental results indicate that pTSB seems to have a potential application in the drug release system controlled via pH or temperature in the biomedical fields.

A series of pH/temperature sensitive hydrogel beads with semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN), composed of sodium alginate and poly(N-acryloylglycinate) were prepared as drug delivery carrier. In pH=2.3 phosphate buffer solution (PBS), the release amount of indomethacin incorporated into the beads was about 9% within 610 min, while this value approached to 68% in pH=7.4 PBS. The release rate of indomethacin was higher at 37 than that at 20 . In addition, the release amount of indomethacin was increased with increasing poly(N-acryloylglycinate) content. These results suggest that the stimuli-sensitive beads have the potential to be used as an effective pH/temperature delivery system in bio-medical fields.

The memory of our brain, stored in soft matter, is dynamic, and it forgets spontaneously to filter unimportant information. By contrast, the existing manmade memory, made from hard materials, is static, and it does not forget without external stimuli. Here we propose a principle for developing dynamic memory from soft hydrogels with temperature-sensitive dynamic bonds. The memorizing–forgetting behavior is achieved based on fast water uptake and slow water release upon thermal stimulus, as well as thermal-history-dependent transparency change of these gels. The forgetting time is proportional to the thermal learning time, in analogy to the behavior of brain. The memory is stable against temperature fluctuation and large stretching; moreover, the forgetting process is programmable. This principle may inspire future research on dynamic memory based on the nonequilibrium process of soft matter.
