The Mn2+ and Mo6+ based metal-mercaptoacetate (metal-MA) hybrids were prepared by a simple acid–base titration method. metal-MA analysed FT-IR spectroscopy, UV–visible SEM, particle size analyser (PSA), XRD EDX. investigated to assess their catalytic activity for ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (CL) in the absence an initiator at 160 °C N2 atmosphere varying catalyst concent...

Mitoxantrone (MIT) is an anticancer agent with photosensitive properties that is commonly used in various cancers. Multidrug resistance (MDR) effect has been an obstacle to using MIT for cancer therapy. Photochemical internalization, on account of photodynamic therapy, has been applied to improve the therapeutic effect of cancers with MDR effect. In this study, an MIT-poly(ε-caprolactone)-pluro...

In treatment of diabetes, it is much desired in clinics and challenging in pharmaceutics and material science to set up a long-acting drug delivery system. This study was aimed at constructing a new delivery system using thermogelling PEG/polyester copolymers. Liraglutide, a fatty acid-modified antidiabetic polypeptide, was selected as the model drug. The thermogelling polymers were presented b...

Frontispiece 2: In article number 2000657 by Ericka Ford and co-workers, novel cyclic-poly(phthalaldehyde) blended poly(ε-caprolactone) fibers are wet spun to exhibit fast transience of less than 50 s when exposed daylight the mechanical strength stretch ability an elastomer. The rate is further improved embedding gold nanoparticles in fibers. Daylight-triggered among flexible has potential use...
