Chitosan coated alginate beads containing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) for dual-stimuli-responsive drug release

Chitosan coated alginate beads containing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM), were prepared to be used as a controlled pH/temperature sensitive drug delivery system with improved encapsulation efficiency and delayed release rate. The studied beads were characterized by differential scanning calor...
