In UV-curable printing technology, an ink or a varnish is exposed to the UV-light source within a fraction of a second. Subsequent polymerization therefore proceeds in the dark, referred to as dark curing. Because dark curing can be critical and contribute ...
Protein-polymer conjugates are widely used in biotechnology and medicine, and non-toxic polymers for bioconjugation would be advantageous for these applications. Herein, we reported the toxicity of polymers synthesized by two commonly employed controlled r ...
The term polymer brush refers to a well defined arrangement of polymer chains, which are tethered with one end to an interface and usually the surface of a solid substrate. Due to steric repulsion the polymer chains furthermore adopt a defined, stretched c ...
Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization is a powerful strategy to tailor the chemical and physical surface properties of materials. This article highlights recent work from the author's laboratory in which surface-initiated atom transfer radica ...
This thesis deals with development of polymeric carriers for many different therapeutic agents such as immune-suppressant drug (everolimus), nitric oxide (NO), and polynucleotide. Polymeric carriers developed in this project were all synthesized by reversi ...
Block copolymers are comprised of repeating chemical groups (blocks) which commonly contain at least one hydrophilic block coupled to at least one hydrophobic block, forming an amphipathic macromolecule. This molecular arrangement drives the self assembly ...
The synergy between magnetic field (MF) and electrostatic interactions on the kinetics of radical homopolymerization of acrylamide (AM), acrylic acid (AA), its ionized form acrylate (A ...
Novel amphiphilic multi-arm star-block copolymers with a hyperbranched core, a hydrophobic inner shell, and a hydrophilic outer shell have been prepared from a commercial hyperbranched polyester macroinitiator by ring-opening polymerization of -caprolacton ...
The radical polymerization of bis-1,3(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylmethacrylate dichloride revealed non-ideality with 0.59 and 4.4 for the reaction orders of the initiator and monomer concentration, respectively. Further, autoacceleration was observed ...
Micelles formed from amphiphilic block copolymers have been explored in recent years as carriers for hydrophobic drugs. In an aqueous environment, the hydrophobic blocks form the core of the micelle, which can host lipophilic drugs, while the hydrophilic b ...
