Biodegradable elastomeric materials are gaining extensive attention in the field of soft tissue engineering. Poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is a novel biocompatible elastomer in this scope. However this polymer has poor mechanical properties especially when the molar ratio of glycerol is higher than sebacic acid. Calcium Titanate (CaTiO3) is a biocompatible ceramic with some degr...

We report biocompatible, cell-permeable core-shell-corona polymer micelles bearing glutathione-cleavable shell cross-links, which allow the facilitated release of entrapped anticancer drugs at cytoplasm in response to an intracellular glutathione level.

One-step diameter-selective dispersion of HiPco single-walled carbon nanotubes has been accomplished through noncovalent complexation of the nanotubes with a water-soluble, biocompatible polymer chitosan at room temperature.

objective: pmbn, poly [2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphoryl choline (mpc)-co-n- buthyl methacrylate (bma)-co-p-nitrophenyl- oxycrabonyl poly (ethylene glycol-methacrylate (meonp)], as a biocompatible ter-polymer is a unique polymer with wide range of application from drug delivery systems to scaffolds and biomedical devices. in this research, monomer of p- nitrophenyl- oxycarbonyl poly (ethylene g...

BACKGROUND: Biotechnology applications of magnetic gels include biosensors, targeted drug delivery, artificial muscles and magnetic buckles. These gels are produced by incorporating magnetic materials in the polymer composites. METHODS: A biocompatible magnetic gel film has been synthesized using polyvinyl alcohol. The magnetic gel was dried to generate a biocompatible magnetic film. Nanosized ...

Paclitaxel (1a), a well known antitumor agent adopted mainly for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancer, suffers from significant disadvantages such as low solubility, certain toxicity and specific drug-resistance of some tumor cells. To overcome these problems extensive research has been carried out. Among the various proposed strategies, the conjugation of paclitaxel (1a) to a biocompatib...

Here, we present an alternative to cross-linking for the preparation of monodispersed polymer microcapsules made from water-soluble and biocompatible sodium hyaluronate.

Microwave absorbing materials (MAMs) are paving the way for exciting applications in electromagnetic (EM) pollution precaution and national defense security, as they offer an advanced alternative to conventional reflection principles to fundamentally eliminate the EM waves. Conjugated polymer (CP)-based composites appear as a promising kind of MAM with the desirable features of low density and ...
