Journal ArticleDOI
Bulk characterization and scanning electron microscopy of hydrogels of P(VA-co-NVP).
TL;DR: The results indicate macrosyneresis of the copolymer hydrogels upon freeze-drying even at -23 degrees C and rapid collapse of the hydrogel structure is seen upon removal of the bulk and interfacial water in the frozen state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymers for information storage systems. II. Polymerization kinetics for preparation of highly crosslinked polydimethacrylates
TL;DR: In this paper, the volume shrinkage observed during polymerization was a function of the number of ethylene glycol units in the dimethacrylate monomer, and the kinetic rate constants of polymerization, as determined from the photopolymerization characteristics using a dilatometric technique, were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity coefficients–aqueous solutions of polybasic acids and their salts
TL;DR: In this article, a method of predicting activity coefficients of polybasic acids and their salts in strong aqueous solutions is presented, and application of the calculation of decomposition pressures of SO2 over sodium sulfite-bisulfite systems and of CO2 over carbonate-bicarbonate systems is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular recognition with soft biomaterials
John R. Clegg,Nicholas A. Peppas +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents a summary and evaluation of current recognitive materials for biosensing, drug delivery, and regenerative medicine applications, and highlights the impact of material composition on the extent and specificity of ligand adsorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic and equilibrium swelling of DVB-crosslinked polystyrene particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic and equilibrium swelling behavior of polystyrene microparticles crosslinked with divinyl benzene was investigated in methyl ethyl ketone and cyclohexane.
