Description This paper discusses the fabrication and characterization of temperature sensitive polymer nanogels for stimuli responsive release of a drug, a study that specifically focuses to improve the functionality of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) nanogels in drug delivery applications. Maleic acid has been incorporated into PNIPAM nanogels towards this aim and characterized for its effectiveness in biologically relevant temperatures. The PNIPAM based nanogel was tuned for burst release of the drug at a biologically relevant temperature of 41 degrees C which was achieved by incorporation of 0.2 mol percent of maleic acid during the polymerization of PNIPAM. The maleic acid incorporated PNIPAM nanogels was found to show similar to 50% reduction in its hydrodynamic size at 41 degrees C when compared to the similar to 30% reduction of the hydrodynamic radius of PNIPAM nanogels at 32 degrees C. Apart from the raising of the LCST of the PNIPAM nanogels to higher temperature, the hydrophilicity and the negative zeta potential imparted to the nanogels by maleic acid incorporation has also resulted in improved drug loading efficiency. Electrostatic conjugation of doxorubicin hydrochloride has resulted in negligibly low release of drug at a normal physiological pH of 7.4 and temperature 37 degrees C but a statistically significant release at the cellular pH 4 of cancer cells and a temperature of 41 degrees C.
