| Abstract | The inherent hydroxyl groups on the porous polycaprolactone (PPCL) films (prepared by using poly(ethylene glycol) as the pore-forming agent) could be reacted with 2-bromoisobutyrate bromide to produce a sufficient concentration of surface-coupled atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiators for the subsequent surface-initiated ATRP of thermo-responsive N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) at room temperature. A kinetics study revealed that the chain growth of the grafted NIPAAm polymer (P(NIPAAm)) was very fast and consistent with a ‘controlled’ process. The graft copolymerization not only occurred on the porous film surface, but also took place into the film bulk. The resultant P(NIPAAm)-grafted PPCL (PPCL-g-P(NIPAAm)) films assumed a uniform and interconnected porous structure and exhibited a temperature-sensitive property with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of about 32 °C, not unlike pure P(NIPAAm). The release of bovine serum albumin (BSA as a model protein) from the PPCL-g-P(NIPAAm) films was characterized by an initial burst, followed by a sustained release. These thermo-responsive PPCL-g-P(NIPAAm) porous films are potentially useful in biomedical fields. |

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.
