Frontal polymerization synthesis of temperature-sensitive hydrogels.
The study of hydrogels and their response to external environment is of special interest because of their potential as drug delivery systems,1,2 actuators,3 and separation devices.4,5 Temperature-sensitive hydrogels undergo a reversible swellingdeswelling transition with a small change of temperature near the phase transition point.6 A frequently studied thermosensitive hydrogel is based on sol...
متن کاملnumerical analysis of temperature-sensitive hydrogels for controlled drug release
today hydrogels are considered as the materials that are able to play important role in drug delivery systems. to design an effective hydrogel applicable network, mathematical modeling has a critical role. a successful drug delivery device relies not only on intelligent network design but also on accurate prior mathematical modeling of drug release profiles. in this study, the modeling of the i...
متن کاملFunctional Electro Stimulation monitoring by bending sensitive magnetostrictive bilayer Sensors
A novel sensor system is presented utilizing bending sensitive bilayers. The sensor system detects the contraction-dynamics of the upper femoral musculature during electric stimulation for diagnostics of muscle fibre recruitment and muscle twitch-dynamics in Functional Electro Stimulation.
متن کاملElectrostatics of lipid bilayer bending.
The electrostatic contribution to spontaneous membrane curvature is calculated within Poisson-Boltzmann theory under a variety of assumptions and emphasizing parameters in the physiological range. Asymmetrical surface charges can be fixed with respect to bilayer midplane area or with respect to the lipid-water area, but induce curvatures of opposite signs. Unequal screening layers on the two si...
متن کاملIn situ-forming hydrogels--review of temperature-sensitive systems.
In the past few years, an increasing number of in situ-forming systems have been reported in the literature for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, cell encapsulation, and tissue repair. There are several possible mechanisms that lead to in situ gel formation: solvent exchange, UV-irradiation, ionic cross-linkage, pH change, and temperature modulation. The thermosensitive ...
