In order to detect an extremely low amount of human coagulation factor IX (FIX), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)/aptamer co-immobilized surface was constructed using original PEG-polyamine surface modification agents on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor chip. Initially, a gold (Au) sensor chip of SPR was modified using poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PEG-...

In this work, the copolymer-based synthesized Cysteine-loaded nanocarriers prepared by a routine protocol, coprecipitation method. It is the first report to investigate the neuroprotective potential and biocompatibility of Cysteine derivatives loaded into poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε−caprolactone) methyl ether (PEG-b-PCL). The average size of the polymeric/empty NCs was 89 nm and for poly...

In an attempt to recreate the microenvironment necessary for directed hematopoietic stem cell differentiation, control over the amount of ions available to the cells is necessary. The release of potassium ion and calcium ion via the control of cross-linking density of a poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA)-based hydrogel containing 1 mol % 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and...

Herein, we report the self-assembly and salt-induced thermoresponsive properties of amphiphilic random terpolymers consisting hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) quaternary ammonium cations, hydrophobic dodecyl groups in water.

Gels prepared from metal containing ionic liquids with cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) have surface compositions and mechanical properties that can be controlled by Lewis basicity acidity of the species.

Recombinant coagulation factor VIII (r-VIII SQ) was chemically modified with monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG). Three mPEG derivatives were used for coupling to the r-VIII SQ lysines, a mixed anhydride of monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) succinic acid (mPEG-SAH), monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) succinimidyl succinate (mPEG-SS), and monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) tresylate (mPEG-TRE...

Graphene oxide was prepared using modified Hummers method. Stable ethylene-glycol nanofluids containing graphene oxide nanosheets were provided. Nd: YAG pulsed laser was applied to prepare reduced nanofluids. Experimental results revealed that thermal conductivity of the nanofluids is increased with increasing the concentration of graphene oxide (GO) in ethylene glycol. The enhancement ratio of...

A unique hyperbranched polymeric system with a linear poly-2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (pDMAEMA) block and a hyperbranched polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EGDMA) block was designed and synthesized via deactivation enhanced atom transfer radical polymerisation (DE-ATRP) for efficient gene delivery. Using this unique structure, with a lin...

linear–dendrite copolymers containing hyper branched poly(citric acid) and linear poly(ethylene glycol) blocks pca–peg–pca are promising nonmaterial to use  in nanomedicine. to investigate their potential application in biological systems (especially for drug carries) oniom2 calculations were applied to study the nature of particular interactions between drug and the polymeric nanoparticles.  b...
