Partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems : theory, methods, uses, and application to biotechnology
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterization of poly(ethylene glycol) derivatives
J. Milton Harris,Evelyn C. Struck,Martha G. Case,M. Steven Paley,Manssur Yalpani,James M. Van Alstine,Donald E. Brooks +6 more
TL;DR: Five general routes for the preparation of polyoxyethylene derivatives are described and potential applications to catalysis, cell purifications, and other areas are discussed briefly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocompatibility testing of branched and linear polyglycidol.
TL;DR: Hyperbranched polyglycidols were found to be well tolerated by mice even when injected in high doses, and compared with some of the common biocompatible polymers already in human use.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biocompatibility and biofilm resistance of implant coatings based on hydrophilic polymer brushes conjugated with antimicrobial peptides

TL;DR: It is found that this specially structured robust coating was extremely effective in resisting biofilm formation, and that the biofilm resistance depended on the nature of conjugated peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro biological evaluation of high molecular weight hyperbranched polyglycerols.
TL;DR: The results show that these high molecular weight HPGs, which can be prepared in a single step reaction, are potential candidates for drug delivery and imaging applications where a long circulating polymer is highly desirable.
