Concentration and temperature-sensitive assembling behavior of polyethyleneimine-cinnamic acid conjugate and its release-controlling property in monoolein cubic phase

초록

Temperature-responsive monoolein (MO) cubic phase was prepared by including polyethyleneimine (PEI) and cinnamic acid (CA) in the cubic phase. PEI/CA aqueous solution exhibited reversible upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior. CA and PEI was included in the cubic phase so that the concentrations were the same as those in PEI/CA solution which exhibited reversible UCST behavior from 32 degrees C to 50 degrees C. The maximum release degree of methylene blue observed above UCST (12.5% at 45 degrees C and 13.1% at 50 degrees C) was apparently higher than the maximum release degree below UCST (4.1% at 25 degrees C and 4.3% at 30 degrees C).
