Multi-responsive hydrogels based on magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles in a thermo-responsive polymer matrix by Patrick Schütz, Sascha Benedict Lemich, Maria Weißpflog, Paul Körner, Volker Abetz, Birgit Hankiewicz

“…To show the synergy of the components, photothermal heating with near-infrared (NIR) irradiation was investigated to reveal that significant amounts of water can be expelled from the hydrogel.Furthermore, the approach of using MP-NPs and TTC-terminated polymers as bases for multi-responsive materials can be adapted to obtain materials with different polymer structures to tailor transition temperatures and surface functionalization. …”

Enhancing Ion Transport in Polymer Electrolytes by Regulating Solvation Structure via Hydrogen Bond Networks by Yuqing Gao, Yankui Mo, Shengguang Qi, Mianrui Li, Tongmei Ma, Li Du

“…Herein, we demonstrate a molecular design strategy to overcome these limitations by regulating the Li⁺ solvation structure through the synergistic interplay of conventional Lewis acid–base coordination and engineered hydrogen bond (H–bond) networks, achieved by incorporating specific H–bond donor functionalities (N,N′–methylenebis(acrylamide), MBA) into the polymer architecture. …”

Lipid-Polymer Hybrid Nanoparticles as a Smart Drug Delivery System for Peptide/Protein Delivery by Alharith A. A. Hassan, Eslam Ramadan, Katalin Kristó, Géza Regdon, Tamás Sovány

“…On the other hand, polymeric nanoparticles are more stable and allow better control over drug release; nevertheless, they usually lack the necessary biocompatibility and cellular uptake efficiency. Recently, lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPHNs) have emerged as an advanced solution combining the structural stability of polymers and the biocompatibility and surface functionalities of lipids to enhance the controlled release, stability, and bioavailability of protein and peptide drugs. …”
