Mechanics of materials This study attempted to clarify the influence of induced sensitivity on the structural, physicochemical, drug loading and release profiles of chitosan built hydrogel for controlled drug delivery applications. Different series of hydrogel based on free radical copolymerization of chitosan with poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate, acrylamide-co- methacrylic acid and alginic acid were synthesized and functionalized with induced micellization, glucose sensitivity and hydrophilicity for extended interfaces with drug solutions.

In vitro degradation of 20% and 38% was achieved for hydrogel with induced hydrophilicity in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids for 400 h (2 weeks) through bulk erosion.
