Tetrabutylphosphonium styrenesulfonate and its homopolymer showed a lower critical solution temperature-type phase transition in water. As the hydrophobicity of these monomeric and polymeric salts affects phase behaviour, the phase transition temperature of the polyelectrolyte was changed by the introduction of monomers having different alkyl chain length on the phosphonium cations.

Poly N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAAm) is a well-known temperature-sensitive polymer. When the temperature is higher than the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), PNIPAAm aquous solution is cloudy (phase separation occurred). In contrast, when the temperature is lower than the LCST, PNIPAAm is soluble in water (a homogeneous solution). The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in aqueous solution of PNIPAAm was about 32~33°C. We prepared nano-scaled PNIPAAm particles containing carboxylic group on their surfaces by introducing acrylic acid monomer. The carboxylic groups were applied to conjugate with the amino group of the CD34 antibody. This immuno-conjugate can be applied on targeting the human CD34 positive cells, peripheral blood progenitor cells included, for cell purification and drug controlled release. In order to the active responding of controlled release of the conjugate in the body influenced by temperature, we hope to estimate the shifting of the gel-collapse temperature or cloud point of the immuno-conjugates by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and UV absorption. The results show that the gel-collapse temperature of the nano-particle was not significantly affected by the content of AA between 1.5~5 mol%. However, cloud point of the solution was elevated by the conjugation of CD34 antibody to 37°C. When CD34-conjugated particle was subsequently incorporated with recombinant FLT3-ligand, which is a smaller molecule compare to CD34 antibody, cloud point of the solution was not affected.

AbstractThermo-sensitive polymers are of outstanding importance due to their ability to undergo controlled major changes in their properties as a response to minor modifications in temperature. The syntheses of novel polymers by grafting polysiloxane containing chlorobenzyl groups in the side chain by the homopolymerization of N,N′-dimethyl acrylamide (DMA) or the copolymerization of DMA and methyl methacrylate (MMA) using SET-LRP technique are presented. The polymers were characterized by 1H-NMR, UV, and fluorescence spectroscopy, and DSC. The thermo-sensitivity and the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), as well as the aggregation phenomena during the phase transition are evidenced by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and rheology.
