Synthesis and Characterisation of Novel Temperature and pH Sensitive Physically Cross-Linked Poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-itaconic Acid) Hydrogels for Drug Delivery
Previous studies involving poly N-vinylcaprolactam (PNVCL) and itaconic acid (IA) have synthesised the hydrogels with the presence of a solvent and a crosslinker, producing chemically crosslinked hydrogel systems. In this study, however, temperature sensitive PNVCL was physically crosslinked with a...
