Jian ZHANG, Hai-yan CHEN, Yue-qing GU. Application of PNIPA Nano-hydrogels for Controlled and Sustained Drug Release[J]. Polymer Bulletin, 2007,20(10):52-56.
the properties and the responsive mechanism of PNIPA nano-hydrogels were briefly introduced. And then more emphasis was placed on the application of PNIPA nano-hydrogels as drug carriers for controlled and sustained drug release. They provide liposoluble drugs with stability
solubility
bioactivity. And hydrosoluble drugs entrapped in PNIPA nano-hydrogels can be sustainedly released. They can also be used as carriers for biomacromolecule drugs to avoid disadvantage in application. PNIPA nano-hydrogels are also favourable gene engineering carriers.
