The synthesis of graft copolymer (κ-carrageenan-g-vinylsulfonic acid) is carried out in nitrogen atmosphere using potassium peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and malonic acid (MA) as redox system. The effect of reaction variables including the concentration of vinylsulfonic acid 1.3×10(-2) to 6.7×10(-2) mol dm(-3), PMS 4×10(-3) to 20×10(-3) mol dm(-3), MA 1.6×10(-3) to 4.8×10(-3) mol dm(-3), sulfuric acid 1×10(-3) to 8×10(-3) mol dm(-3), κ-carrageenan 0.4-1.8 g dm(-3) as well as time duration 60-180 min and temperature 25-45 °C has been studied. The water swelling capacity of graft copolymer is investigated. Flocculation property for both coking and non-coking coals is studied for the treatment of coal mine waste water. The graft copolymer has been characterized by FTIR and thermogravimetric analysis.

Polymeric coatings that combine resistance to adhesion ("defending") and killing ("attacking") of biocontaminants were proposed to endow the surface with nonadhesive and bactericidal capabilities. In contrast, a zwitterionic copolymer P(GMA--DMAPS) with antifouling groups ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide, DMAPS) and a zwitterionic/cationic copolymer P(GMA--DMAPS--DMC) with bactericidal groups ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride, DMC) were synthesized, of which the latter exhibited synergistic inhibitory and killing properties. The distinct feed ratios of monomers were conducted, and the optimal molar ratio was obtained.

In this study, we applied a systematic approach to establish an iterative workflow and to drive the chemical design of thermosensitive, in situ forming injectables as a function of the intended target product profile. Self-assembly, mechanical properties, physical state, and thermal transition behavior were assessed via nuclear magnetic resonance, oscillatory rheology, turbidimetry and visual inspection techniques. Thus, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline)s (PAOx)s with LCSTs below body temperature were studied before and after grafting them onto azido-substituted hyaluronic acid (HA) via strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC).

Dexamethasone (Dex) is a primary medication for treating dry eye syndrome, and tobramycin-dexamethasone eye drops are commercially available. However, the eye's complex physiological environment reduces its bioavailability, and repeated use can lead to significant systemic toxicity and side effects. This study introduces a novel conjugate of chitosan (CS) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a bioadhesive material, which was grafted onto the surface of a Dex-supported nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) to develop an innovative nanoparticle lipid ocular drug delivery system (CS-NAC@Dex-NLC).

Architecturally hindered crystallization of bottlebrush graft copolymers offers a reaction- and solvent-free pathway for creating injectable elastomers with tissue-mimetic softness. Currently, injectable materials involve solvents and chemical reactions, leading to uncontrolled swelling, leaching of unreacted moieties, and side reactions with tissue. To address this issue, bottlebrush copolymers with a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) amorphous block and crystallizable poly(lactic acid) (PLA) grafted chains (A--B) were synthesized, with grafted chains of controlled length arranged along the backbone at controlled spacing.

Background: Given the risks associated with autologous bone transplantation and the limitations of allogeneic bone transplantation, scaffolds in bone tissue engineering that incorporate bioactive peptides are highly recommended. Teriparatide (TPTD) plays a significant role in bone defect repair, although achieving controlled release of TPTD within a bone tissue engineering scaffold remains challenging. This work reports a new approach for treatment of teriparatide using a water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) microspheres be equipped on gelatin (GEL)/Poly lactic-glycolic acid (PLGA)/attapulgite (ATP) scaffold.
