PH responsive polyurethane for the advancement of biomedical and drug delivery
Due to the specific physiological pH throughout the human body, pH-responsive polymers have been considered for aiding drug delivery systems. Depending on the surrounding pH conditions, the polymers can undergo swelling or contraction behaviors, and a degradation mechanism can release incorporated s...

Due to the specific physiological pH throughout the human body, pH-responsive polymers have been considered for aiding drug delivery systems.
