	abstract = {<p>Synthesis of PANI-SnO2 nanocomposite has been performed using a simple two step chemical oxidative polymerization route. The structural, morphological and chemical properties of the as-synthesized PANI-SnO2 nanocomposite have been revealed by various characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, and XPS. Interestingly the as-synthesized PANI-SnO2 nanocomposite exhibits supercapacitance value of 721 F g(-1) with energy density 64 Wh kg(-1), which is noticed to be higher than that of pristine SnO2 and PANI nanostructures. Furthermore, the galvanostatic charge-discharge characteristics revealed pseudocapacitive nature of the PANI-SnO2 nanocomposite. The estimated values of charge transfer resistance and series resistance estimated from the Nyquist plot are found to be lower. Along with the supercapacitive nature, PANI-SnO2 nanocomposite showed promising field emission behavior. The threshold field, required to draw emission current density of 1 A/cm(2), is observed to be 0.90 V/m and emission current density of 1.2 mA/cm(2) has been drawn at applied field of approximate to 2.6 V/m. The emission current stability investigated at preset values of 0.02 and 0.1 mA/cm(2) is observed to be fairly stable over duration of more than 3 h. The enhanced supercapacitance values, as well as, the promising field emission characteristics are attributed to the synergic effect of SnO2 nanoparticles and PANI nanotubes.

	There have been reports on different types of porous polymer films for various applications. The designing of such porous films with uniform properties is a challenging task. In this work, tunable porous thin films of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) and polycaprolactone (PCL), that is, (pNIPAM)-b-(PCL) has been fabricated and its sustained drug delivery applications have been reported. First, the (pNIPAM)-b-(PCL) has been synthesized through the addition polymerization of pNIPAM and PCL. Then the synthesized (pNIPAM)-b(PCL) has been used to design porous thin film with varying temperatures without using any external template, below and above the lower critical solution temperatures (LCST) of pNIPAM. Pore size in (pNIPAM)-b-(PCL) films has been tuned by varying the temperature from similar to 10 to 40 degrees C. Then the developed thermosensitive porous film has been taken and seeded with the K562 (chronic myeloid leukemia blood cancer) and HepG2 (hepatocarcinoma) cells and the skin cancer cells (B16-F10) killing efficiency of anticancer drug (e.g., doxorubicin hydrochloride, DOX) loaded (pNIPAM)-b-(PCL) film has been studied. It is found that the DOX-loaded (pNIPAM)-b-(PCL) can efficiently kill the skin cancer cells. The porous polymer thin film reported in this work can be a versatile platform for the loading of drugs and it can be used for the various therapeutic applications.</p>
