Temperature-Responsive Hydrogels with Controlled Water Content and Their Development Toward Drug Delivery and Embolization Applications
abstract: Aqueous solutions of temperature-responsive copolymers based on N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) hold promise for medical applications because they can be delivered as liquids and quickly form gels in the body without organic solvents or chemical reaction. However, their gelation is often fo...
