Abstract:The pH-sensitive mesoporous nanocomposite PMAA/SBA-15 was synthesized by free radical polymerization.The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy,thermogravimetric analysis,transmission,N2 adsorption-desorption and electron microscopy.With Aspirin as model drug, the drug release behavior of the composite was studied. It was found that the composite remained ordered hexagonal structure, but the surface area, the pore volume and the pore size of the composite were decreased. In the release medium of pH=7.4 the release of Aspirin was much quicker than pH=1.0.Therefore, the release of Aspirin from the nanocomposite could be controlled by changing pH. The PMAA/SBA-15 composite has a potential application in drug release.
