Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in molecular structure in cross-linked polycationic nanoparticles synthesized using ARGET ATRP or UV-initiated polymerization
TL;DR: Comparison of material properties of polycationic nanoparticles synthesized using the techniques of UV-initiated polymerization or ARGET ATRP and relates differences in material properties to differences in molecular structure indicates increased homogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic analysis of curing of tetraepoxides and diamines in the presence of etherification side reactions
Andy H. Tsou,Nicholas A. Peppas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the theory of branching processes is used to describe the polymer network formation resulting from the reaction of tetraepoxides with diamines using various initial compositions; however, intramolecular reactions in the pregel stage are neglected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral delivery of chemotherapeutic agents: background and potential of drug delivery systems for colon delivery
TL;DR: It is believed that using physiological cues and environments of the gastrointestinal tract and designing smart polymer carriers, the quest for oral drug delivery of chemotherapeutics may be achieved.
New biomaterials for intelligent biosensing, recognitive drug delivery and therapeutics
Nicholas A. Peppas,Mark E. Byrne +1 more
TL;DR: The design and synthesis characteristics of artificial molecular structures capable of specific molecular recognition of biological molecules are addressed and novel glucose-binding molecules based on non-covalent directed interactions formed via molecular imprinting techniques within aqueous media are synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anomalous penetrant transport in glassy polymers: 4. Stresses in partially swollen polymers
John Klier,Nicholas A. Peppas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the equilibrium swelling process and stress evolution of glassy polymer systems undergoing Case-II penetrant transport were examined using a rubber elasticity theory, and the coupling between stresses and penetrant concentration permitted calculation of equilibrium stress and concentration profiles.
