Abstract: Drug delivery vehicles that release one or more drugs, e.g., an opioid antagonist and/or an opioid, in response to changes in the chemistry of body fluids, specifically in response to changes in the partial pressure of CO2 in the environment of the hydrogel are described. The drug delivery vehicles include hydrogels that swell or shrink in response to changes in the partial pressure of CO2 in their environment, thus regulating release of an entrapped drug.

Abstract: Polymers including pendent hydrophobic groups and pendent proton transfer groups are shown to form nanostructured films exhibiting greatly increased proton conductivity compared with films prepared from corresponding polymers lacking hydrophobic groups. The polymers can include repeating units each of which has both a hydrophobic group and a proton transfer group. Alternatively, the polymers can be the product of copolymerizing a first monomer with at least one hydrophobic group and a second monomer with at least one proton transfer group. The polymers are useful for the preparation of fuel cell proton exchange membranes.

Abstract: Polymers comprising triarylamine substituent monomers. The polymers are products of anionic or radical polymerization of monovinylated triarylamine monomers or of ROMP polymerization of monomers comprising a triarylamine component, a linker component, and a cyclic olefin that is capable of undergoing a ring-opening polymerization reaction. The resulting polymers possess hole-transporting properties and are useful as hole transport layers in light-emitting diodes or as components of photorefractive materials.
