An efficient and scale-up ready single-step synthesis for the conjugation of thermoresponsive polymers to hyaluronic acid (HA) was established. Jeffamines(®) (JFM) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) were grafted to HA via direct amidation mediated by 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole activation. The temperature-induced gelation of the
