The silicified L3-poly(N-sopropylacrylamide)/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites by the integration of thermosensitive polymer and heterogenious continuity in 3-D interconnected porous structure have been prepared for the highly controlled drug release without the burst release at the initial time during step-wised temperature changes, and demonstrated the in-vitro cytotoxicity test for biocompatibility.
