Superporous poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) based scaffolds: Preparation and characterization

TL;DR: In this article, superporous poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) scaffolds with pore size from 10 1 to 10 2 ǫμm range were prepared by radical polymerization of 2-hydroxethyl methyl methacelate (HEMA) with 2-wt% ethylene dimethacrylated (EDMA) with the aim to obtain a support for cell cultivation.

Solution Properties of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

TL;DR: In this paper, a lower critical solution temperature of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide was found to be due to an entropy effect, which was attributed to the formation of nonpolar and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
