Journal ArticleDOI
Solute diffusion in swollen membranes. Part II. Influence of crosslinking on diffusive properties
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the crosslinked structure of swollen polymers acts as a molecular screen for diffusion of large solutes, and it was concluded that the previously assumed linear dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the mesh size is not correct even for highly swollen membranes.
Book
Biomaterials: Interfacial Phenomena and Applications
TL;DR: Books, as a source that may involve the facts, opinion, literature, religion, and many others are the great friends to join with.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic and equilibrium swelling behaviour of pH-sensitive hydrogels containing 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate
TL;DR: It is shown that pH-sensitive behaviour with a wide range of swelling ratios could be obtained using a range of compositional changes and was a function of the acidity of the buffered solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solute and penetrant diffusion in swellable polymers. III. Drug release from glassy poly(HEMA-co-NVP) copolymers
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic swelling behavior of poly(HEMA-co-NVP) copolymers at 37°C was investigated and it was observed that the swelling mechanism was non-Fickian, associated with major changes of the thickness and other dimensions of the samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidation of the mechanism of incorporation of insulin in controlled release systems based on complexation polymers.
TL;DR: The data suggest that gels containing equimolar amounts of MAA:EG have the potential to be used as an oral carrier of peptide drugs, especially for insulin.
