Journal ArticleDOI
Reaction kinetics and chemical changes during polymerization of multifunctional (meth)acrylates for the production of highly crosslinked polymers used in information storage systems
J. Eric Dietz,Nicholas A. Peppas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, crosslinked polymer samples of a wide range of triacrylates, tetraacrylsates, pentaacrylnates and their corresponding methacryllates were prepared by u.v. photopolymerization of the monomers using 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl-acetophenone as a photoinitiator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mimicking Biological Delivery Through Feedback-Controlled Drug Release Systems Based on Molecular Imprinting.
TL;DR: Recent work in the area of molecularly imprinted polymers in drug delivery highlights the potential of these recognitive networks as environmentally responsive DDS that can ultimately lead to feedback controlled recognitive release systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of degree of crosslinking on water transport in polymer microparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, the water transport in microparticles of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) crosslinked with small amounts of ethylene glycol dimethacrylated was investigated as a function of time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature-responsive polymer-gold nanocomposites as intelligent therapeutic systems.
TL;DR: A thermally responsive polymer-metal nanocomposite system comprised of a solid gold nanoparticle core and thermallyresponsive interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) shell, which was surface functionalized or PEGylated with a covalently bound linear poly(ethylene glycol) chain layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal dissolution-controlled release systems: I. Physical characteristics and modeling analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed to predict drug release rates from semicrystalline polymer systems, while taking into account the dissolution of the crystals when brought into contact with water.
