Oscillatory carbonylation using alkyne-functionalised poly(ethylene glycol).

Poly(Ethylene glycol)-based backbones with high peptide loading capacities.

Polymer-peptide conjugates are a promising class of compounds, where polymers can be used to overcome some of the limitations associated with peptides intended for therapeutic and/or diagnostic applications. Linear polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol) can be conjugated through terminal moieties and have therefore limited loading capacities. In this research, functionalised linear poly(ethylen...

Study of Surface Tension of Binary Mixtures of Poly (Ethylene Glycol) in Water and Poly (Propylene Glycol) in Ethanol and its Modeling Using Neural Network

Surface grafting of electrospun fibers using ATRP and RAFT for the control of biointerfacial interactions.

BACKGROUND The ability to present signalling molecules within a low fouling 3D environment that mimics the extracellular matrix is an important goal for a range of biomedical applications, both in vitro and in vivo. Cell responses can be triggered by non-specific protein interactions occurring on the surface of a biomaterial, which is an undesirable process when studying specific receptor-ligan...

Dual responsiveness of a tunable thermo-sensitive polypeptide.

The temperature and pH dependent solubility of poly(γ-propargyl L-glutamate) (PPLG) functionalized through copper catalyzed 1,3 cycloaddition reaction between an alkyne and azide can be tuned with precision over a broad range of conditions by varying the ratio of substitution of short oligo ethylene glycol and diisopropylamine side groups.

Effect of Ethylene Oxide Functional Groups in PEBA-CNT Membranes on CO2/CH4 Mixed Gas Separation

Poly (ether-block-amide) /poly (ethylene glycol)/ carbon nanotubes mixed matrix membranes have been successfully fabricated using solvent evaporation method to determine the effect of ethylene oxide groups on the performance of produced membranes. The effects of CNTs (2-8 wt%) and PEG (up to 50 wt%)were investigated in both single and mixed gas test setup in different temperature and pressure. ...
