Smart materials allow more effective, targeted, and regulated release of medicinal medicines because of their capacity to react to environmental stimuli including temperature, pH, and light. Over the past few decades, this feature was used to completely transform the medication delivery industry. Understanding the function of integrating thermo-responsive and biodegradable materials has been partially accomplished by recent study. Specifically, when biodegradable polymers like poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) are combined with thermoresponsive materials like poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) (PNAGA), a medication will release when the temperature reaches a certain point and then break down into non-toxic byproducts. This approach not only reduces chronic accumulation and related negative effects, but also increases safety and biocompatibility. In addition, external factors such as localized thermal shock can enhance medication release even more, targeting its distribution to certain locations and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. In this study, we will examine the most recent developments and difficulties in the application of thermoresponsive, biodegradable smart materials for drug delivery systems, and we will talk about how these materials may be used to improve treatment plans.
