TL;DR: The authors of as mentioned in this paper acknowledge the financial support from project NORTE-01-======0145-FEDER-000021 supported by Norte Portugal Regional Operational Programme (NORTE 2020), under the PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF); and project HORIZON 2020, under the TEAMING Grant Agreement No 739572.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method of Determination of Initiator Efficiency: Application to UV Polymerizations Using 2,2-Dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 2,2-dimethory-2-phenylacetophenone as a model initiator and performed an atheoretical investigation of the initiator efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-dependent response of ionic polymer networks to pH and ionic strength changes
TL;DR: In this paper, a Boltzmann superposition equation is used to describe the viscoelastic response of an ionically charged hydrogel to the swelling environment. But the authors do not consider the effect of ionic strength or pH changes on the response of the hydrogels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral chemotherapeutic delivery: design and cellular response.
TL;DR: The potential cytotoxicity of bleomycin on the small intestine was investigated with the use of Caco-2 cells (human colon adenocarcinoma) and showed maintenance of both viability and proliferation, and complexation hydrogels are promising carriers to expand the number of chemotherapeutics capable of being administered orally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flory interaction parameter χ for hydrophilic copolymers with water
TL;DR: A new method is proposed here to estimate theCopolymer-water Flory interaction parameter, chi, for biomaterials, based on the pairwise thermodynamic interactions of copolymer segments and solvent molecules.
