Synthesis of Pyridyl Disulfide-Functionalized Nanoparticles for Conjugating Thiol-Containing Small Molecules, Peptides, and Proteins

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Conlin O'Neil, Urara Hasegawa

Previously we reported emulsion polymerization of propylene sulfide with Pluronic F127 as an emulsifier, yielding nanoparticles (NPs) in the 25 nm size range. Immunologically functional NPs were prepared by adding an antigen Pluronic conjugate to the polym ...

"Functional Poly(ethylene glycol)": PEG-Based Random Copolymers with 1,2-Diol Side Chains and Terminal Amino Functionality

Frederik Roman Wurm

A series of poly(ethylene glycol-co-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether) (P(EO-co-IGG)) random copolymers with different fractions of 1,2-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether (IGG) units was synthesized. After acidic hydrolysis a new type of "function ...

Surface modification of PES virus filtration membrane

Claire Roulin

Virus filtration by size exclusion is a robust means of eliminating viruses in blood or pharma products. Porous polymer membranes with a narrow size distribution are used to allow passage of the protein product but retain viruses. The chosen polymer must r ...

On the generation of poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) particles in microfluidic flow focusing devices (MFFD) made of Norland Optical Adhesives (NOA81)

Nico de Rooij

This paper shows the generation of monodisperse PLGA micro-droplets in MFFD made of NOA 81. We also present a theory coupled to the MFFD design capable of predicting the size and frequency of the polymer-droplet formation. Chang. et al. have encapsulated n ...
