Poly- N -isopropylacrylamide (polyNIPA) is an extensively studied polymer in the field of controlled drug delivery. PolyNIPA contains carbonyl and amide groups along a hydrophobic chain. In an aqueous environment, crosslinked polyNIPA forms a gel characterized by a reversible volume phase transition temperature (VPTT), in response to changes in the external environment excited by the temperature factor. NIPA-based polymers were synthesized by a surfactant-free precipitation polymerization (SFPP) method at a temperature of 70 °C using the free radical initiator potassium persulfate (KPS) and at 35 °C using redox initiator system KPS with N , N , N ', N '-tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED). The synthesized products were evaluated via dynamic light scattering (DLS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The chemical structure, molecular mass, and hydrodynamic diameter of obtained particles, as well as the effects of synthesized polymers on the release of the active substance, naproxen sodium (NS), from hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC)-based hydrogels were assessed. The use of the TEMED activator affected the particle size, as well as the release kinetics of NS. The insertion of TEMED into reactant mixtures may be applied to modify the release kinetics of NS from hydrogel preparations.
