As a drug delivery system with vast potential applications, hydrogels have garnered significant attention due to their unique loading mechanisms and effectiveness. In this paper, novel reversible thermosensitive hydrogel polymer, synthesized through copolymerization of mono-6-allyl-β-cyclodextrin, N-isopropylacrylamide, acrylamide, is introduced. This polymer formed three-dimensional network structure in water, featuring β-cyclodextrin hydrophobic cavities. The encapsulated molecules could be slowly progressively released from both the IR XRD analysis confirmed successful encapsulation target molecules, sodium salicylate naproxen sodium, within cavity its space. Specifically, when mass ratio N-isopropylacrylamide/acrylamide/mono-6-allyl-β-cyclodextrin was 9.8/0.2/0.5, demonstrated an initial gelation temperature 34.9 °C final 37 °C. expansion rate blank slightly higher than that drug-loaded hydrogel. Both drugs undergo sustained release hydrogel, adhering Fick's diffusion law, ensuring consistent 8 h maintaining for over 24 h, regardless rate. Within 30 days, degradation PBS exceeded 15%, while presence lysozyme more 40%. These properties render versatile candidate targeted biomedical offering strategies treating chronic diseases other conditions.
