Plasticization of poly-L-lactide for tissue engineering

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Matthieu Cuénoud

Plasticization of medical grade poly-L-lactide (PLLA) by addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with various molar masses has been evaluated as means of producing low stiffness matrices for bioresorbable scaffolds for soft-tissue engineering applications. A ...

Assessing the Role of Poly(ethylehe glycol-bl-propylene sulfide) (PEG-PPS) Block Copolymers in the Preparation of Carbon Nanotube Biocompatible Dispersions

Davide Demurtas, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Conlin O'Neil

Amphiphilic block copolymers based on hydrophobic polysulfides (poly(propylene sulfide), PPS) and hydrophilic polyethers (poly(ethylene glycol), PEG) have been used to solubilize and disperse single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The obtained highly conc ...

Characterization of rare-earth doped Lu2O3 nanopowders prepared with polymer complex solution synthesis

Barbora Bártová

We explored a synthesis route based on the polymer complex solution method for the production of the rare-earth doped Lu2O3 crystalline nanopowders. In this type of synthesis polyethylene glycol is used both as fuel for the combustion reaction, and as nucl ...

"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 ...
