Magnetic thermo-responsive hydrogels are a new class of materials that have recently attracted interest in biomedicine due to their ability to change phase upon magnetic stimulation. They have been used for drug release, magnetic hyperthermia treatment, and can potentially be engineered as stimuli-responsive substrates for cell mechanobiology. In this regard, we propose a series of magnetic...

We study the self-assembly of a dendritic macromolecular system formed by a second-generation dendron with pH-responsive end groups and with a polymer chain emanating from its focal point, typically referred to as dendron-coil system. We use supramolecular ionic interactions to attach to the periphery of the dendrons sulfate-terminated alkyl tails of various lengths. The resulting ionic complexes...

Magnetic properties of thin composite films, consisting of non-interacting polystyrene-coated γ-Fe₂O₃ (maghemite) nanoparticles embedded into polystyrene-block-polyisoprene P(S-b-I) diblock-copolymer films are investigated. Different particle concentrations, ranging from 0.7 to 43 wt%, have been used. The magnetization measured as a function of external field and temperature...

We present a systematic investigation of the crystallization and aggregation behavior of a poly(1,2-butadiene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) diblock copolymer (PB-b-PEO) in n-heptane. n-Heptane is a poor solvent for PEO and at 70°C the block copolymer self-assembles into spherical micelles composed of a liquid PEO core and a soluble PB corona. Time- and...

This work describes the thermoresponsive transition in polystyrene-block-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-polystyrene (PS-block-PNIPAM-block-PS) triblock copolymer hydrogels, as observed by both direct and reciprocal space in-situ characterization. The hydrogel morphology was studied in both the dry and wet state, at temperatures below and beyond the coil−globule transition of PNIPAM, using...
