Elastic lattice polymers.
We study a model of "elastic" lattice polymer in which a fixed number of monomers m is hosted by a self-avoiding walk with fluctuating length l . We show that the stored length density ρm≡1-/m scales asymptotically for large m as ρm=ρ∞(1-θ/m+…) , where θ is the polymer entropic exponent, so that θ can be determined from the analysis of ρm. We perform simulations for elastic lattice polymer l...
متن کاملΜàñ Natural Biodegradable Polymers as Matrices in Transdermal Drug Delivery
Polymers are the backbone of a transdermal drug delivery system as they control the release of the drug from the device. Biodegradable polymers attracts the attention of its use as they can be degraded to non-toxic monomers and most important, a constant rate of drug release can be achieved from a biodegradable polymer based controlled release device. Natural polymers can be used as the means o...
متن کاملElastic Properties of Crosslinked Polymers
At first a survey is given on the thermodynamics of rubber-elasticity and the results of the statistical theory of molecular networks. Experimental data of torsional vibrations, stress—strain measurements (simple extension and uniaxial compression) and photoelastic properties in dependence of temperature are reported. The measurements have been carried out on dry and swollen crosslinked polymer...
متن کاملRegulation of the Contribution of Integrin to Cell Attachment on Poly(2-Methoxyethyl Acrylate) (PMEA) Analogous Polymers for Attachment-Based Cell Enrichment
Cell enrichment is currently in high demand in medical engineering. We have reported that non-blood cells can attach to a blood-compatible poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) substrate through integrin-dependent and integrin-independent mechanisms because the PMEA substrate suppresses protein adsorption. Therefore, we assumed that PMEA analogous polymers can change the contribution of integrin...
متن کاملMaize arabinoxylan gels as protein delivery matrices.
The laccase induced gelation of maize bran arabinoxylans at 2.5% (w/v) in the presence of insulin or beta-lactoglobulin at 0.1% (w/v) was investigated. Insulin and beta-lacto-globulin did not modify either the gel elasticity (9 Pa) or the cross-links content (0.03 and 0.015 microg di- and triferulic acids/mg arabinoxylan, respectively). The protein release capability of the gel was also investi...
