What are Some Examples of Thermo Sensitive Polymers?
Several thermo sensitive polymers have been developed for cancer therapy. Some notable examples include:
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm): Known for its sharp phase transition around 32°C, PNIPAAm is widely used in drug delivery systems. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG): Often used in combination with other polymers, PEG enhances the biocompatibility and solubility of drug delivery systems. Chitosan: A natural polymer that can be modified to exhibit thermo sensitivity, making it useful in various biomedical applications.
