Popis: The development of a simple local drug-delivery system that exhibits the advantages of macro- and microscale carriers with controllable drug-release behavior is still highly desired. Herein, in this work, a smart temporary film was prepared from doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded shape-memory microgels via a simple hot-compression programming method. The temporary film showed a very smooth surface and easy handing, as well as macroscopy mechanical properties, which could disintegrate into the microgels with heating at 45 °C. In this case, the temporary film showed a controllable DOX release behavior when compared with the microgels, which could release the DOX on demand. Consequently, the temporary film exhibited weaker cytotoxicity to normal cells and a much longer antitumor capability, as well as a higher drug-utilization efficiency when compared with microgels. Therefore, the smart temporary film has high potential as a candidate for use as a local drug-delivery system.
