| Abstract | We prepared the self-healing and temperature/pH-responsive hydrogels using oxidized succinoglycan (OSG) and a poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-acrylamide) [P(NIPAM-AM)] copolymer. OSG was synthesized by periodate oxidation of succinoglycan (SG) isolated directly from soil microorganisms, Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm1021. The OSG/P(NIPAM-AM) hydrogels were obtained by introducing OSG into P(NIPAM-AM) networks. The chemical structure and physical properties of these hydrogels were characterized by ATR-FTIR, XRD, TGA, and FE-SEM. The OSG/P(NIPAM-AM) hydrogels showed improved elasticity, increased thermal stability, new self-healing ability, and 4-fold enhanced tensile strength compared with the P(NIPAM-AM) hydrogels. Furthermore, the 5-FU-loaded OSG/P(NIPAM-AM) hydrogels exhibited effective temperature/pH-responsive drug release. Cytotoxicity experiments showed that the OSG/P(NIPAM-AM) hydrogels were non-toxic, suggesting that OSG/P(NIPAM-AM) hydrogels could have the potential for biomedical applications, such as stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems, wound healing, smart scaffolds, and tissue engineering. |
