Stimuli-responsive hyperbranched polymers have attracted great attention in recent years because of their wide applications in biomedicine. Through proton-transfer polymerization of triethanolamine and 1,2,7,8-diepoxyoctane with the help of potassium hydride, a series of novel backbone thermo and pH dual-responsive hyperbranched poly(amine-ether)s were prepared successfully in one-pot. The degrees of branching of the resulting polymers were at 0.40–0.49. Turbidity measurements revealed that hyperbranched poly(amine-ether)s exhibited thermo and pH dual-responsive properties in water. Importantly, these responsivities could be readily adjusted by changing the polymer composition as well as the polymer concentration in aqueous solution. Moreover, in vitro evaluation demonstrated that hyperbranched poly(amine-ether)s showed low cytotoxicity and efficient cell internalization against NIH 3T3 cell lines. These results suggest that these backbone thermo and pH dual-responsive hyperbranched poly(amine-ether)s are promising materials for biomedicine. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
