Poly gels drug delivery process

Very recently, Isik et al. [127] proposed the preparation of biocompatible ion gels by photopolymerization of the cholinium lactate methacrylic monomer inside the cholinium lactate IL and can be used as drug delivery agents, electrochemical transistors for biosensors, and mediums for biocatalysis. Conversely, the same BIL monomer, 2-cholinium lactate methacrylate, was used to obtain poly(IL)-cellulose composites by a fast UV curing process, which are the major component of plant cell walls, the most abundant biopolymer on earth, and also one of the most exploited natural resources. The use of ILs to replace organic solvents in biocatal54ic processes has gained much attention. Cull et al. [205] used l-butyl-3-methylimidazolium... 

Armes et al. [58] synthesized, via ATRP, biocompatible, thermoresponsive ABA triblock copolymers in which the onter A blocks are comprised of PNIPAm and the central B block is poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine). This novel system is soluble in dilnte aqueous solution but forms free-standing physical gels at 37 °C due to hydro-phobic associations of the PNIPAm segments. The gelation process is reversible and shows potential applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
