Abstract | We have developed methods to synthesize a family of novel self-assembling, pH and temperature sensitive water-soluble multiblock copolymers based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(diethylaminoethylmethacrylate) (PDEAEM) with a variety of nanoarchitectures.. We have developed oxyanionic polymerization techniques to synthesize di-, tri-, and pentablock copolymers of PEO, poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) and PDEAEM, and also random copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate and PDEAEM. The pentablock copolymers self-assemble to form nanometer scale micelles in aqueous solutions and above a critical gelation temperature, the micelles entangle and self-assemble to form macroscale thermoreversible water-soluble physical gels. Aqueous solutions of these polymers at room temperatures can be injected into the body where they form physical gels for controlled delivery that eventually dissolve and release the entrapped molecules. They also possess the ability to undergo swelling/syneresis in response to changes in pH. These polymers were characterized by a number of techniques such as NMR, gel permeation chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, etc. Such smart injectable systems could be very useful for insulin in response to glucose changes. These cationic polymers also exhibit complexation with DNA at physiological pH values and are potential as gene therapy vectors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
