TL;DR: The use of α-amino acids as building units for degradable polymers may offer several advantages: (i) imparting chemical functionality, such as hydroxyl, amine, carboxyl, and thiol groups, which not only results in improved hydrophilicity and possible interactions with proteins and genes, but also facilitates further modification with bioactive molecules (e.g., drugs or biological cues); (ii) possibly improving materials biological properties, including cell-materials interactions and degradability; (iii) enhancing thermal and mechanical properties; and (

TL;DR: A strong antimicrobial effect occurs simultaneously with acceleration of the coagulation of contacting blood, suggesting that platelets that collide with silver, exposed at the surface, become activated without adhering to the surface.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of molecular structure on photoinitiated polymerization of acrylates was investigated, and it was found that preorganization via hydrogen bonding enhances the maximum rate of polymerization (Rp).

TL;DR: It is concluded that PEA Ms provide an alternative delivery system for controlling the delivery of drugs to the eye, allowing a novel generation of microsphere design.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a radiation curable composition comprising relative to the total weight of the composition (a) 0-29 wt % of a cationically curable component having a linking aliphatic ester group, (b) 10-85 wt% of an epoxygroup containing component other than A, (c) 1-50 wt%) of an oxetanegroup containing components, (d) 1 -25 wt ) of a multifunctional acrylate and a radical photoinitiator and a catedic photo
