Supramolecular polymer networks drug delivery

Because of their transient and reversible cross-linking, supramolecular polymer networks are responsive [4] to external stimuli such as variation in temperature [31], pH [32], polarity of the solvent [33], redox reactions [34], and competitive ligation [35]. This tunability makes them useful for a plethora of applications. They can be used as drug delivery systems [36] and as matrixes in tissue engineering [37]. Drugs and cells can be encapsulated and protected within these materials and...
