Abstract A monomer, 2-(isobutyramido)-3-methylbutyl methacrylate (IMMA) was synthesized through a two-step reaction. When a few of IMMA (less than 4 mol%) was copolymerized …
Controlled intracellular disassembly of polyelectrolyte complexes of polycations and DNA (polyplexes) is a crucial step for the success of nonviral gene delivery. Motivated by our …
Thermoresponsive polymers change their structure and properties in response to change in external temperature. They undergo reversible volume phase transition in aqueous medium …
Bio-responsive polycations, such as temperature-responsive polymers based on N- isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and redox-responsive polymers based on disulfide bonds, have …
