The present invention discloses a dissoluble PDMS-modified p(HEMA-MAA) amphiphilic copolymer and the method of fabricating the same. The amphiphilic copolymer of the present invention is fabricated via chemically bonding HEMA, MAA, and poly(dimethylsiloxane), bis(3-aminopropyl) terminated (PDMS) in aqueous solution. The PDMS-modified p(HEMA-MAA) amphiphilic copolymer can be dissolved completely in polar solvents, particularly alcohol solvents, to facilitate subsequent processing. The amphiphilic copolymer features adjustable hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties and exhibits excellent biocompatibility. Thus, it can be utilized in a number of advanced applications, including anti-fouling and drug delivery.

A drug carrier is provided with a structure of a lipid shell enclosing aqueous micelles. The lipid shell includes lipid and emulsifier, in which the emulsifier encloses the lipid. The components of the aqueous micelles are phospholipids and amphiphilic chitosan, and the aqueous micelles enclose an aqueous solution containing a drug. Furthermore, the method of preparing the drug carrier is also provided. Therefore, with the pharmaceutical advantages of lipid-based nanoparticle included low drug leakage and the ability of to overcome the multiple drug resistance, this new formulation were further incorporated with the chitosan and featured with high payload efficiency. The features could enhance intracellular concentration of anti-cancer drug and oral bioavailability.

An injectable smart gel and a method for fabricating the same are disclosed. A basic structural stabilizer/polymeric electrolyte and a diluting solution are added to a modified chitosan to regulate the chitosan solution to have a pH value closing to that of the human body and form a flowable chitosan sol. The flowable chitosan sols formed thereby are respectively converted into inflowable chitosan gels via increasing the temperature thereof to the human body temperature, and via adding calcium ion or regulating the chitosan sol into an acidic solution. The injectable smart gel fabricated thereby is injectable and able to function as a carrier of magnetism-sensitive medicine-containing nanocapsules. The medicine can be released to the injectable smart gel with an external non-contact force, such as a magnetic field, an electric field or an ultrasonic wave, for long-acting and multi-stage medicine delivery. The present invention is very useful in biomedical engineering.

The invention discloses the synthesis of a new-type chitosan-based hybrid macromolecule and a method for producing or using the macromolecule. This macromolecule comprises an amphiphatic chitosan and a silicon-based coupling agent that is anchored by a chemical bonding. The method for producing the hybrid macromolecule can be easily operated under ambient environment. The produced macromolecule can be self-assembled in an aqueous environment to form a nanocarrier, and has the ability to efficiently encapsulate drugs for a subsequent sustained release purpose. This self-assembled hybrid nanocarrier demonstrated features of excellent biocompatibility, drug loading ability and cellular uptake efficiency.
