Abstract
The design of multistimuli-responsive soft nanoparticles (NPs) often presents synthetic complexities and limited breadth in exploiting changes surrounding physiological environments. Nanocarriers that could collectively take advantage of several endogenous stimuli can offer a powerful tool in nanomedicine. Herein, we have capitalized on the chemical versatility of a single tertiary amine to construct miktoarm polymer-based nanocarriers that respond to dissolved CO2, varied pH, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and ROS + CO2. Curcumin (Cur), an anti-inflammatory phytopharmaceutic, was loaded into micelles, and we validated the sensitivity of the tertiary amine in tuning Cur release. An in vitro evaluation indicated that Cur encapsulation strongly suppressed its toxicity at high concentrations, significantly inhibited nigericin-induced secretion of interleukin-1β by THP-1 macrophages, and the proportion of M2/M1 (anti-inflammatory/pro-inflammatory macrophages) was higher for Cur-loaded NPs than for free Cur. Our approach highlights the potential of a simple-by-design strategy in expanding the scope of polymeric NPs in drug delivery.

Electrical Response of Poly( N-[3-(dimethylamino)Propyl] Methacrylamide) to CO 2 at a Long Exposure Period. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:22232-22243.

Abstract
Amine-functionalized polymers (AFPs) are able to react with carbon dioxide (CO2) and are therefore useful in CO2 capture and sensing. To develop AFP-based CO2 sensors, it is critical to examine their electrical responses to CO2 over long periods of time, so that the device can be used consistently for measuring CO2 concentration. To this end, we synthesized poly(N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] methacrylamide) (pDMAPMAm) by free radical polymerization and tested its ability to behave as a CO2-responsive polymer in a transducer. The electrical response of this polymer to CO2 upon long exposure times was measured in both the aqueous and solid phases. Direct current resistance measurement tests on pDMAPMAm films printed along with the silver electrodes in the presence of CO2 at various concentrations reveal a two-region electrical response. Upon continuous exposure to different CO2 flow rates (at a constant pressure of 0.2 MPa), the resistance first decreased over time, reaching a minimum, followed by a gradual increase with further exposure to CO2. A similar trend is observed when CO2 is introduced to an aqueous solution of pDMAPMAm. The in situ monitoring of pH suggests that the change in resistance of pDMAPMAm can be attributed to the protonation of tertiary amine groups in the presence of CO2. This two-region response of pDMAPMAm is based on a proton-hopping mechanism and a change in the number of free amines when pDMAPMAm is exposed to various levels of CO2.
