Temperature-Sensitive, Fluorescent Poly(N-Isopropyl-acrylamide)-Grafted Cellulose Nanocrystals for Drug Release

Temperature-Sensitive, Fluorescent Poly(N-Isopropyl-acrylamide)-Grafted Cellulose Nanocrystals for Drug Release

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) grafted with fluorescent and thermo-responsive poly (N-isopropylacryalamide) (PNIPAM) brushes were prepared for encapsulation and the release of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The successful grafting was evidenced by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and solid-stat...
