AbstractTemperature-responsive chromatography using thermoresponsive polymers is innovative and can control analyte retention via column temperature. Analyte elution behavior in this type of chromatography depends on the modified thermoresponsive polymer and the structure of the base materials. In the present study, we examine the effect of the pore diameter of silica beads on analyte elution behavior in temperature-responsive chromatography. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-n-butyl methacrylate) hydrogel was applied to beads of various pore sizes: 7, 12, and 30 nm. Almost the same amount of copolymer hydrogel was applied to all beads, indicating that the efficiency of copolymer modification was independent of pore size. Analyte retention on prepared beads in a packed column was observed using steroids, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates as analytes. Analyte retention times increased with temperature on packed columns of 12- and 30-nm beads, whereas the column packed with 7-nm beads exhibited decreased retention times with increasing temperature. The difference in analyte elution behavior among the various pore sizes was attributed to analyte diffusion into the bead pores. These results demonstrate that bead pore diameter determines temperature-dependent elution behavior.

Abstract Thermoresponsive polymers featuring the appropriate combination of structural characteristics, i.e. architecture, composition, and molar mass (MM), can form physically crosslinked networks in a solvent upon changes in temperature. This fascinating class of polymers finds utility in various sectors such as formulation science and tissue engineering. Here, we report a novel thermoresponsive triblock terpolymer which out-performs the most commonly used and commercially available thermoresponsive polymer, Poloxamer P407 (also known as Pluronic® F127) in terms of gelation concentration. Specifically, the in-house synthesised polymer forms gels at lower concentrations that is an advantage in biomedical applications. To elucidate the differences in their macroscale gelling behaviour, we investigate their micellization via differential scanning calorimetry, and their nanoscale self-assembly behaviour in detail by means of small-angle neutron scattering by simultaneously recording their rheological properties (Rheo-SANS). Two different gelation mechanisms for the two polymers are revealed and proposed. Ex vivo gelation study upon intracameral injections demonstrated excellent potential for its application to improve drug residence in the eye.
