Thin hydrogel barriers formed on the inner surface of injured arteries by interfacial photopolymerization dramatically reduced thrombosis and intimal thickening in rat and rabbit models of vascular injury. This polymerization technique allowed the synthesi ...
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) of molecular weights 5,000, 10,000, 18,500, and 100,000 g/mol was covalently grafted to surfaces of otherwise cell adhesive polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. Analysis of these surfaces by measurement of contact angles and ESC ...
Two-dimensional high-resolution solid-state NMR has been used to study C-13-enriched wood. Wood is a complex material containing three major polymers: cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. The use of an enriched C-13-compound allows the observation of intr ...
A series of 66 terpolymers of dl-lactide, glycolide, and epsilon-caprolactone was synthesized for the purpose of identifying those materials which exhibited rapid degradation in vitro. Polymers having half-lives from a few weeks to several months were iden ...
The time-resolved fluxes of negative polysilicon hydride ions from a power-modulated rf silane plasma have been measured by quadrupole mass spectrometry and modeled using a simple polymerization scheme. Experiments were performed with plasma parameters sui ...
Stretchable optical and electronic fibers constitute increasingly important building blocks for a myriad of applications, particularly in robotics, soft prosthesis, surgical tools and implants, and smart medical textiles. The integration of multimaterial a ...
