The release behavior of the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) from copolymer hydrogels of N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm) and sodium methacrylate (SMA) was investigated in relation to the volume phase transition temperatures, which was increased by the incorporation of SMA. In the case of the copolymer hydrogels, a higher volume phase transition temperature was obtained when poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) was used as the crosslinking agent, suggesting that the chain length of the crosslinking agent has a significant affect on the volume phase transition temperature of a P(NIPAAm-co-SMA) hydrogel. The concentration of bFGF released from the hydrogels with PEGDA increased relative to the water content, thereby showing a dependence on the volume phase transition temperature. Hence, the release behavior of bFGF from the PNIPAAm and P(NIPAAm-co-SMA) hydrogels was found to be affected by the volume phase transition temperature, which can be easily controlled by changing the comonomer, monomer feed ratio, and crosslinking agent.

Characterization of responsive hydrogels and their enhancement with novel moieties have improved our understanding of functional materials. Hydrogels coupled with inorganic nanoparticles have been sought for novel types of responsive materials, but the efficient routes for the formation and the responsivity of complexed materials remain for further investigation. Here, we report that responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (pNIPAm-co-AAc) hydrogel microparticles (microgels) are tunable by varying composition of co-monomer and crosslinker as well as by their complexation with magnetic nanoparticles in aqueous dispersions. Our results show that the hydrodynamic diameter and thermoresponsivity of microgels are closely related with the composition of anionic co-monomer, AAc and crosslinker, N,N′-Methylenebisacrylamide (BIS). As a composition of hydrogels, the higher AAc increases the swelling size of the microgels and the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT), but the higher BIS decreases the size with no apparent effect on the VPTT. When the anionic microgels are complexed with amine-modified magnetic nanoparticles (aMNP) via electrostatic interaction, the microgels decrease in diameter at 25 °C and shift the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) to a higher temperature. Hysteresis on the thermoresponsive behavior of microgels is also measured to validate the utility of aMNP-microgel complexation. These results suggest a simple, yet valuable route for development of advanced responsive microgels, which hints at the formation of soft nanomaterials enhanced by inorganic nanoparticles.
