Release Property of Alginate Beads Coated with Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate)

摘要

Alginate beads were coated with copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide and dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate (P(NIPAM-co-DMAEMA)s) by taking advantage of electrostatic interaction between alginate and the copolymer. The copolymers, of which DMAEMA contents in the feed for the copolymerization were 5.0% (PND 5) and 15.0% (PND 15), were employed for the coatings of alginate beads. The adsorption curve of PND 5 and PND 15 on the surface of alginate beads seemed to be Langmuir isotherm. The beads were coated in the PND solutions (2%, pH 5.0 or pH 7.0) and the amounts of adsorption (g PND/g alginate) were about 1.3 with PND 5 solution (pH 5.0), 1.2 with PND 15 solution (pH 5.0), and 0.75 with PND 15 (pH 7.0). The release from the beads coated with PNDs were observed at 30°C, 37°C, and 45°C using amaranth or FITC-dextran as a dye. The degrees of release were significantly suppressed due to the coating layers of PNDs. However, the coating layers could hardly act as a controller for the temperature-sensitive release.View full textDownload full textKeywordsAlginate beads, dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate, N-isopropylacrylamide, temperature-sensitive releaseRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01932690903294212
