A novel thermosensitive amphiphilic graft copolymer PNIPAAm-g-PCbzEA appending carbazole group was successfully designed and synthesized by the free radical copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide with hydrophobic precursor polymers of vinyl-functionalized poly(2-(N-carbazolyl)ethyl acrylate) (PCbzEA) in DNIF. The PNIPAAm-g-PCbzEA copolymer was characterized by FTIR, H-1 NMR, GPC analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The TEM observation shows that the graft copolymer may self-assemble into polymeric micelles exhibiting a nanospheric morphology within a narrow size range of 30-60 nm in aqueous solution. From the H-1 NMR and FTIR analysis, the polymer micelles are composed of hydrophobic PCbzEA segments as the cores and the hydrophilic PNIPAAm segements as outer shells. The resulting micelles exhibited the temperature sensitivity with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 31.5 degrees C and a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 12.9 mg/L in water. In the study of drug release, an on-off drug release profile was found in response to stepwise temperature changes between 20 and 40 degrees C. The cytotoxicity assays for vero cells shows good biocompatibility of the graft copolymer in vitro. (c) 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
