Stimuli-induced gel–sol transition of multi-sensitive supramolecular β-cyclodextrin grafted alginate/ferrocene modified pluronic hydrogel

Abstract

This paper studies a kind of biocompatible hydrogel composed of alginate-g-β-cyclodextrin (Alg-β-CD) and ferrocene-terminated pluronic F127 (F127-Fc), which showed gel–sol phase transformations in response to temperature, oxidizing agents, and glucose because of the reversible association–dissociation of Fc-β-CD inclusions and F127 micelles.
