“…Conventional hydrogels, such as synthesized by starch or acrylic acid, have some drawbacks including either very low swelling capacity and swelling rate in salinity solution or need several hours to reach to the maximum absorption capacity. 6 Majority of the reported superabsorbents comprise only the first feature mentioned, i.e., high absorbency, 7 whereas they must also comprise high rate of swelling especially in certain applications, e.g., in the absorbents incorporated in the baby napkins. A kind of superabsorbent polymer named superporous hydrogel has been developed in recent years by Park for controlled delivery of drugs.…”

“…La transición de volumen de fase se ha observado en varios tipos de hidrogeles, esta transición ocurre cuando se modifica la temperatura o composición del solvente, [1][2][3][4] . Se conoce que la NIPA presenta una transición de volumen de fase alrededor de 32 °C [5] , En diferentes trabajos se ha visto que la copolimerización de la NIPA con monómeros hidrófilos modifica tanto la capacidad de absorber agua como la temperatura de transición [6][7][8] , tanto en polímeros lineales como en geles poliméricos.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] NIPA can be copolymerized with other comonomers to produce gels that can undergo such volume transitions in response to other external stimuli such as pH, electric field and light. [5][6][7] Hydrogels based on these stimuli-sensitive materials have been investigated for controlled gene, [8] peptide [9] and drug delivery, [10] protein purification, [11] sensors, [12] and chromatography. [13] We have been developing an autonomous, glucose-powered hydrogel-based device for rhythmic, pulsed release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) that utilizes pH-sensitive copolymers of Nisopropylacrylamide and carboxylic acids.…”
