Thermosensation01:43

Thermosensation

Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Area of Science:

  • Polymer Science
  • Materials Chemistry
  • Supramolecular Chemistry

Background:

  • Thermoresponsive polymers exhibit a temperature-dependent volume phase transition.
  • Ionic liquids (ILs) are versatile materials with tunable properties.
  • Poly(ionic liquid)s combine the characteristics of polymers and ionic liquids.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize the first thermoresponsive poly(ionic liquid)-based hydrogels.
  • To investigate the effect of crosslinker length on hydrogel properties.
  • To characterize the thermoresponsive behavior of the novel hydrogels.

Main Methods:

  • Copolymerization of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) with varying length crosslinkers.
  • Synthesis of novel thermoresponsive poly(ionic liquid)s.
  • Characterization of hydrogel swelling and volume transition behavior.

Main Results:
