Lack of reproducibility, difficult and expensive scale-up and standarization of synthetic processes are the main hurdles towards the industrial production of raw synthetic and semi-synthetic polymers for (bio)pharmaceutical ...

Polymeric Biomaterials for Healthcare Applications details a broad range of polymeric biomaterials, methods of synthesis and preparation, and their various applications in healthcare and biomedicine. The book provides a ...

The Cu(I)-catalyzed, microwave-assisted click polymerization of bio-based -azide--alkyne monomers afforded, with high regioselectivity, stereoregular poly(amide-triazole)s. The monomers were prepared starting from ...

In this study, microfibers of poly(L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and PLGA/polypyrrole (PPy) composite (90/10 wt%) are produced by using the solution blow spinning (SBS) technique. PPy is synthesized by the oxidative ...

The uses of polymer blends have stimulated research to promote a better performance of existing raw materials. The implementation of blends in the production of polymeric membranes has shown great results in regenerative ...

Objectives: Evaluate in vitro the esthetic efficacy and cytotoxicity of a bleaching gel containing 35% hydrogen peroxide (BG-35%H2O2), applied for different time intervals, on enamel coated or not with polymeric biomaterials. ...

Sialorrhea is characterized by an increase in salivation. One of the adverse reactions of scopolamine is the decrease of salivary volume. Natural rubber latex can be used as a carrier matrix. This study developed and ...

Enuresis affects up to 20% of children of 5 years old, enuretic children present arginine vasopressin secretion deficiency, compared to normal children. To keep the level of antidiuretic hormone in the body, the aim of ...
