Self-Defensive Antimicrobial Shape Memory Polyurethanes with Honey-Based Compounds.

Infection treatment plays a crucial role in aiding the body in wound healing. To that end, we developed a library of antimicrobial polymers based on segmented shape memory polyurethanes with nondrug-based antimicrobials (i.e.

Fabrication of PEG-PLGA Microparticles with Tunable Sizes for Controlled Drug Release Application.

Polymeric microparticles of polyethyleneglycol-polylactic acid--glycolic acid (PEG-PLGA) are widely used as drug carriers for a variety of applications due to their unique characteristics. Although existing techniques for producing polymeric drug carriers offer the possibility of achieving greater production yield across a wide range of sizes, these methods are improbable to precisely tune particle size while upholding uniformity of particle size and morphology, ensuring consistent production yield, maintaining batch-to-batch reproducibility, and improving drug loading capacity. Herein, we developed a novel scalable method for the synthesis of tunable-sized microparticles with improved monodispersity and batch-to-batch reproducibility via the coaxial flow-phase separation technique.
