     in this study, we report the synthesis of novel environmentally responsive polyurea hydrogel networks prepared via organic sol–gel chemistry and demonstrate that the networks can stabilize ph while releasing glucose both in simple aqueous media and in mammalian cell culture settings. hydrogel formulations have been developed based on the combination of an aliphatic triisocyanate with ph-insensitive amine functional polyether and ph-sensitive poly(ethyleneimine) segments in a minimally toxic solvent suitable for the sol–gel reaction. the polyether component of the polyurea network is sufficiently hydrophilic to give rise to some level of swelling independent of environmental ph, while the poly(ethyleneimine) component contains tertiary amine groups providing ph sensitivity to the network in the form of enhanced swelling and release under acidic conditions. the reaction of these materials to form a network is rapid and requires no catalyst. the resultant material exhibits the desired ph-responsive swelling behavior and demonstrates its ability to simultaneously neutralize lactic acid and release glucose in both cell-free culture media and mammalian cell culture, with no detectable evidence of cytotoxicity or changes in cell behavior, in the case of either sa-13 human hybridomas or mouse embryonic stem cells. furthermore, ph is observed to have a clear effect on the rate at which glucose is released from the hydrogel network. such characteristics promise to maintain a favorable cell culture environment in the absence of human intervention.
