Abstract:
The present invention relates to photoresponsive microgel. Particularly, the present invention relates to photoresponsive microgel which is a microgel formed by hydrophobic interaction between a photoresponsive surfactant and cyclodextrin polymers. When the microgel is irradiated by light, the size and the crosslinking degree of the microgel are sharply changed by dimerization or de-dimerization of the photoresponsive surfactant.

PURPOSE: A cyclodextrin/poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel is provided to emit relatively many target materials through the ionization of basic(acidic) hydrophobic compounds in an acidic(basic) aqueous solution and to relatively emit relatively a few target materials through the formation of a salt bridge of the acidic hydrophobic compound and the basic hydrophobic compound in a neutral aqueous solution. CONSTITUTION: A method for preparing a cyclodextrin/poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel comprises the steps of: (i) adding a crosslinking agent to the mixed liquid of cyclodextrin and poly(vinyl alcohol); (ii) dipping a mixed suspension consisting of a hydrophobic compound having acidic groups and a hydrophobic compound having basic groups to allow the hydrophobic compounds having acidic groups and basic groups to form an inclusion complex in the hydrophobic cavity of the hydrogel; and (iii) mixing the hydrogel with a hydrophilic target material aqueous solution to load the hydrophilic target material on the hydrogel.

PURPOSE: A polymeric micelle having a salt bridge and a method for preparing the same are provided to quickly and selectively release a target material at acidic and alkaline pH concentrations. CONSTITUTION: A polymeric micelle collecting target materials is formed by a salt bridge between aqueous polymer having acidic group and amphiphilic molecule having an alkaline group. The polymeric micelle having the salt bridge is obtained by mixing the aqueous polymer, amphiphilic molecule and target material on an aqueous phase of which pK value is higher than that of the aqueous polymer and is lower than that of the amphiphilic molecule. The acidic group is carboxyl group, sulfonic group, or phosphate group.
Abstract:
A poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-immobilized monoolein cubic phase is provided to release the relatively small amount of the target ingredient at less than phase transition temperature of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), and release the relatively large amount of the target ingredient at more than phase transition temperature of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). The poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-immobilized monoolein cubic phase is manufactured by mixing polyisopropylamide combined with immobilizing material to be immobilized to the aqueous channel within the cubic phase with the target material to be encapsulated into the aqueous channel to prepare the mixed solution; and adding the mixed solution into the monoolein-dissolved solution to form the transparent gel.
