In Situ Synthesis of CuS Nanoparticle Doped Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-Based Microgels for Near-Infrared Triggered Photothermal Therapy

Shu, Tong, Shen, Qiming, Su, Lei, Zhang, Xi, Serpe, Michael J.
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-(acrylic acid) (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgels incorporated with CuS nanoparticles (CuSNPs) were synthesized and employed for near-infrared (NIR) triggered photothermal killing of cancer cells. Cu2+ was enriched in the microgels through deprotonation of the pNIPAm-co-AAc...

Daily repeated wound dressing changes will lead to additional trauma to newly formed tissue and prolonging the healing process. In this letter, we designed and fabricated an easily removable wound dressing material. To accomplish this, we first generated cross-linkable supramonomers through...

This letter describes a new method for fabricating supramolecular microgels from supramonomers. To this end, we designed and assembled supramonomers with one acrylate moiety on each end on the basis of noncovalent host–guest interactions, which could be utilized as a cross-linker. Then...
