Many bioactive compounds, pharmaceutical proteins, and therapeutic cells are used in medical treatments. Methods for the effective purification of such compounds that retain their activities are greatly needed. This review article describes various types of materials based on thermoresponsive polymers for bioanalysis and bioseparations, e.g., thermoresponsive chromatography and thermally modula...

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a widely applied biomaterial in bone tissue engineering (BTE) due to its superior mechanical properties and biodegradability. However, the high hydrophobicity low cell adhesion of PCL show limited interactions. Herein, we prepared porous PCL/DBP composites with improved through addition demineralized powder (DBP). Three-dimensional scaffolds were fabricated by mixing v...

Thermally induced phase separation in concentrated lower critical solution temperature (LCST) blends of poly[(α-methyl styrene)-co-acrylonitrile]/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PαMSAN/PMMA) in presence of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with different surface characteristics (~NH2 functionalized and polyethylene modified) was monitored by modulated differential scanning calorimetry, melt rheolog...
