Chem. Rev. 1998, 67, 573–586. [ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Most commonly, the physical change in properties induced is used when transferring from room temperature to another environment (i.e., body temperature). This leads to potential applications such as injectable biodegradable scaffolds in tissue engineering, or utilising the changing surface properties for in vitro cell culture applications [36-38]. Furthermore, a polymer in cryogel form which exhibits LCST behaviour at below the body temperature of ≈37 °C would be suitable to use for medicinal applications in humans, as it would be insoluble at above these temperatures (i.e., normal body environment) and so would retain its structure when introduced to the human body, and not degrade or dissolve straight away. Poly( N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) is a well-known example of a thermo-responsive polymer, which exhibits a phase transition close to body temperature and has been used in cryogels to infer temperature responsive behaviour [11,33,39]. Thermoresponsive cryogels comprising oligoethylene glycol have also been reported with dual shape memory behaviour [40]. Natural polymers such as cellulose derivatives, chitosan, gelatin, and dextran exhibit temperature-responsive properties and have been used in cryogels. 3.2. pH-Responsive cryogels Ak,F.; Oztoprak,Z.; Karakutuk,I.; Okay,O.

With an exemption for injectable supramolecular hydrogel systems, which have been demonstrated to perform very well even after injection [74-76], hydrogels in general have been cited as being too brittle to enable injection [27]. Injectable cryogels have been investigated as scaffolds, for drug delivery, and for wound-healing applications. Here we highlight recent advances in the development of these injectable systems relevant to the applications discussed. This specification provides design and application guidelines for the use of Cryogel® Z as thermal insulation, acoustical insulation and/or passive fire protection. It applies to piping, vessels, and equipment operating at below-ambient service temperatures. Kadakia, P.; Jain, E.; Hixon, K.; Eberlin, C.; Sell, S.

The degree of swelling is affected by the chemical composition of the cryogel, and the nature of the medium, such as pH, ionic strength, and swelling medium composition [34,41]. This affects the interactions of pH-sensitive polymers (both polymer–solvent and polymer–polymer interactions), as functional groups on the polymer chains can have weak acidic characteristics if they release protons, or weak basic characteristics if they accept protons, in response to changes in pH. This can come about from even small variations in solution pH, depending on the degree of ionisation and p K a value (index to express acidity of weak acids) of the polymer [35]. Polymers responsive to pH can be classified by the functional groups present within their polymerised structure [35,41,42]. Including (i) polyacids with weakly acidic groups (i.e., -COOH or -SO 3H), (ii) polybases with weakly basic groups (i.e., -NH 2), and (iii) polyamphoterics with both weakly acidic and weakly basic groups.Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.

Boyaci and Orakdogen reported pH-responsive cryogels based on the monomer N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), crosslinked with acrylamido-2-methylpropanosulphonic acid (AMPS), where the swelling of the cryogels was heavily dependent on solution pH [46]. pH-Responsive cryogels have also been prepared comprising polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers, whereby the cryogels were stable under acidic conditions, and degrade at physiological solution pH (7.4) [47]. 3.3.

This is a property which can easily be applied and manipulated through careful polymer selection. For example, altering the ratio of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers in the final cryogel structure can allow for fine tuning of the responsive behaviour [33,34].
