This paper reports the synthesis of magnetic and pH-sensitive beads derived from kappa-carrageenan and carboxymethyl chitosan for drug delivery. The magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized inside a mixture of biopolymers by in situ method. The structural properties of hydrogel beads were characterized by TEM, SEM, XRD, and VSM techniques. The swelling ratio of beads indicated pH-dependent properties with maximum water absorbing at pH 7.4. Introducing magnetic nanoparticles caused a decrease in swelling capacity from 16.4 to 10 g/g. Drug loading and release efficiency were investigated using diclofenac sodium as a model system. The in vitro drug release studies exhibited significant behaviors on the subject of physiological simulated pHs and external alternative magnetic fields. The maximum cumulative release was around 82% at pH 7.4. The presence of magnetite nanoparticles certainly influenced the drug release patterns. The response of beads to external stimulus makes them as good candidates for novel drug delivery systems. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
