U-Shaped and Surface Functionalized Polymer Optical Fiber Probe for Glucose Detection
(MDPI, 2017-01)
In this work we show an optical fiber evanescent wave absorption probe for glucose detection in different physiological media. High selectivity is achieved by functionalizing the surface of an only-core poly(methyl ...
Formulation Of Carbopol((R))/Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)s Mucoadhesive Tablets For Buccal Delivery Of Hydrocortisone
(MDPI, 2018-02-11)
Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) has become an excellent alternative to the use of poly(ethylene glycol) in pharmaceutical formulations due to its valuable physicochemical and biological properties. This work presents a formulation ...
Antibacterial Coatings for Improving the Performance of Biomaterials
(MDPI, 2020-02-04)
Biomedical devices have become essential in the health care. Every day, an enormous number of these devices are used or implanted in humans. In this context, the bacterial contamination that could be developed in implanted ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Covalently Crosslinked pH-Responsive Hyaluronic Acid Nanogels: Effect of Synthesis Parameters
(MDPI, 2019-04-24)
Stable hyaluronic acid nanogels were obtained following the water-in-oil microemulsion method by covalent crosslinking with three biocompatible crosslinking agents: Divinyl sulfone, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), ...
Immobilization of Polyoxometalates on Tailored Polymeric Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Herein we describe the preparation of hybrid polymer-inorganic interfaces by the immobilization of polyoxometalate nanoclusters on functionalized polymer surfaces. The polymeric surfaces were made of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic ...
Characterization and Optimization of the Alkaline Hydrolysis of Polyacrylonitrile Membranes
(MDPI, 2019-11-08)
There is currently an increasing interest in the development of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based membranes with new and enhanced properties which are of special importance in the processes of pervaporation, purification, and ...
Polysaccharide-Based In Situ Self-Healing Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering Applications
(MDPI, 2020-10-01)
In situ hydrogels have attracted increasing interest in recent years due to the need to develop effective and practical implantable platforms. Traditional hydrogels require surgical interventions to be implanted and are ...
The Effect of the Isomeric Chlorine Substitutions on the Honeycomb-Patterned Films of Poly(x-chlorostyrene)s/Polystyrene Blends and Copolymers via Static Breath Figure Technique
(MDPI, 2019-01-07)
Polymeric thin films patterned with honeycomb structures were prepared from poly(x-chlorostyrene) and statistical poly(x-chlorostyrene-co-styrene) copolymers by static breath figure method. Each polymeric sample was ...
Toward Advanced Functional Systems: Honeycomb-Like Polymeric Surfaces Incorporating Polyoxovanadates with Surface-Appended Copper-Cyclam Complexes
(MDPI, 2019-06-22)
In this work the immobilization of hybrid polyoxometalates (POMs) onto functional polymeric surfaces is exposed and discussed. Thus, various hybrid polymerinorganic films were prepared by anchoring selected hybrid POMs ...
Spontaneous Gelation of Adhesive Catechol Modified Hyaluronic Acid and Chitosan
(MDPI, 2022-03-17)
Spontaneously formed hydrogels are attracting increasing interest as injectable or wound dressing materials because they do not require additional reactions or toxic crosslinking reagents. Highly valuable properties such ...
