<p>Intelligent Drug Delivery Microparticles with Visual Stimuli-Responsive Structural Color Changes</p>

Abstract: Background Particle-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) have a demonstrated value for drug discovery and development. However, some problems remain to be solved, such as limited stimuli, visual-monitoring. Aim To develop an intelligent multicolor DDSs with both near-infrared (NIR) controlled release and macroscopic color changes. Materials and Methods Microparticles comprising GO/pNIPAM/PEGDA composite hydrogel inverse opal scaffolds, with dex… Show more

“…Briefly, the average fluorescence intensity linearly increased with CS content and then plateaued at 0.12 w/v% CS, illustrating the ready tunability of functionalization via simple and efficient amine-reactive chemistries rising from the highly nucleophilic amine moieties of CS. Finally, these results suggest that our microparticles can be further utilized to impart and deliver additional functionalities such as therapeutic small molecules (e.g., doxorubicin and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran) via efficient conjugation chemistries by exploiting CS’s potent chemical functionality. , …”

“…Dissolution of lattice forming materials in opal structures allows the preparation of macroporous inverse opal (IO) materials that can be used in a wide range of applications, including the preparation of membranes, , 3D scaffolds for cell cultivation, , and capsules for controlled drug release. ,, Despite such substantial potential and recent attention, IO materials are usually prepared via complex multistep processing and suffer from compromised mechanical strength and/or nonuniform opalescence stemming from weak hollow structures formed upon dissolution of rigid nanospheres. , We thus examined the preparation of uniform IO microparticles via a simple PS dissolution process upon exposure to toluene, as shown in Figure . For this, CS-opal microparticles were lightly cross-linked using a homobifunctional cross-linker glutalaldehyde and then exposed to toluene for 48 h, as shown in the schematic diagram of Figure A.…”

“…The remarkable reinforcement by GO to PEGDA could be attributed to the noncovalent crosslinking effect of GO. As is well recognized, there are abundant oxygen-containing functional groups on the vast GO surface, which help strengthen the interfacial interaction between GO and PEGDA chains via hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Additionally, GO has a honeycomb-like carbon network with extremely high structural stability, which is capable of preventing the diffusion of cracks inside PEGDA and facilitating load transfer. As a result, the mechanical properties of GO/PEGDA composites could be greatly improved.…”

“…Photonic crystal (PC) with a periodic structure formed by the periodic arrangement of different refractive index media has attracted extensive attention on account of brilliant structural color through Bragg diffraction. [1][2][3] Therefore, a series of PC materials with vivid structural colors have been fabricated, which have significant application value in sensors, [4][5][6] drug delivery, [7][8][9] actuators, [10][11][12] printing [13][14][15] and other fields. [16][17][18] A hydrogel is a stimulus-responsive material due to its elastic network that can shrink and swell, so it is usually combined with PC to fabricate stimulus-responsive photonic hydrogels, which realize a visual conversion to optical signals by changing structural colors in response to external stimuli, such as light, 19,20 organic compounds and solvents, [21][22][23][24] metal ions, 25,26 temperature, [27][28][29] and pH.…”
