Abstract

In our previous study, we succeeded to construct a self-oscillating polymer system that is composed of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (poly(NIPAAm)) covalently bound to [Ru(bipyridine)2(4-vinyl-4′-methyl bipyridine)] (Ru(bpy)3). However, the operating conditions were limited to non-physiological environments in the presence of strong acids and oxidants. Therefore, in order to expand the application of those gels to the biomedical field, we attempted the construction of a novel self-oscillating polymer that can cause the self-oscillation under physiological conditions. In this study, we synthesized a novel quarternary copolymer which included both pH-control and oxidant-supplying sites in the poly(NIPAAm-co-Ru(bpy)3) chain. As a result, we first succeeded in causing the self-oscillation under biological conditions in the presence of an organic acid (malonic acid) existed. In addition, we demonstrated that an on-off switching of the self-oscillation can be controlled by temperature. Moreover, by utilizing a highly concentrated polymer solution, we succeeded in causing a viscosity self-oscillation for the first time.<br>
