“…Therefore, numerous efforts have been devoted to design the core chemical structure of pH-responsive polymers to acidic microenvironments. There are a lot of research studies by chemists on numerous structures sensitive to acidic conditions, including imines, 33,34 hydrazones, [35][36][37][38][39] oximes, [40][41][42] carboxylic esters, 43,44 b-thiopropionates, [45][46][47] acetals or ketals, [48][49][50] silyl ethers, [51][52][53] phosphoramidates, 54,55 and so on. Due to the protonation of tertiary amine groups at low pH, the polymers containing tertiary amine groups would have a pH-responsive transition from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.…”
