Context: Intraoral drug delivery as mucosal delivery pathway provides a huge platform in the pharmaceutical field.
Objective: Combining mucoadhesiveness and controlled release of thio-poly acrylic acid as advanced excipient for buccal drug delivery.
Materials And Methods: Mediated by carbodiimide, cysteine was covalently attached to poly acrylic acid. This thiomer was assessed with regard to cytotoxicity, stability, mucoadhesion, and rheology as well as release behavior of Lidocaine.
Results: Stability assays of thio-poly acrylic acid were complying with United States Pharmacopeia requirements. Mucoadhesion assay such as tensile (total work of adhesion), bioadhesion, rotating cylinder revealed as this thiomer was superior in comparison to non-thiolated poly acrylic acid with 7.61-fold, 2.8-fold, 5.61-fold improvement, respectively without any toxic effect. The cell viability exhibited over 90% after incubation time of 3 h and 24 h respectively. Lidocaine release showed 1.98-fold more controlled release over 3 h in comparison to unmodified poly acrylic acid.
Conclusion: Taken the findings in consideration, thio-poly acrylic acid provides excellent stability, controlled release, and superior mucoadhesive features. The prolonged residence time of thio-poly acrylic acid represents a pillar in the buccal drug delivery.

Terpene-based amphiphilic copolymers have been designed as biobased stabilizers for waterborne latex synthesized by miniemulsion or emulsion polymerization of 1,3-diene terpene monomers. The pH-responsive P(AA--My) amphiphilic copolymers were synthesized by nitroxide-mediated radical copolymerization of β-myrcene (My) and acrylic acid (AA) with reactivity ratios of = 0.24 ± 0.

This high sensitivity, reaching up to 10 refractive index unit (RIU, ∼2.5 nm/RIU and measured at a femtometer resolution) leads to broad ranges of applications, especially for biosensing purposes through the monitoring of molecular binding events.

A series of new (donor)₂-donor-π-acceptor (D2-D-π-A) and (acceptor)₂-donor-π-acceptor (A2-D-π-A) organic photosensitizers based on the framework of (Z)-2-cyano-3-(5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)thiophen-2-yl)acrylic acid have been synthesized and characterized. By incorporating groups with different electron-donating or withdrawing abilities, such as dibenzothiophene (DBT), dibenzofuran (DBF), and triazine (TA), into the triphenylamine segment, their photophysical properties have been regulated. Theoretical calculations were used to explore how various donor-acceptor combinations influence their hydrogen production performance.

The development of silk fibroin-based hydrogels with excellent biocompatibility, aqueous processability, and facile controllability in structure is indeed an exciting advancement for biological research and strain sensor applications. However, silk fibroin-based hydrogel strain sensors that combine high conductivity, high stretchability, reusability, and high selectivity are still desired. Herein, we report a simple method for preparing double-network hydrogels including silk fibroin and poly(acrylic acid) sodium-polyacrylate (PAA-PAAS) networks.

Background: Multifunctional fluorescent probes have attracted much attention due to their wide range of applications and high utilization. In this study, a multifunctional fluorescent probe (E)-3-(4-(7-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)benzo[c] [1,2,5]thiadiazol-4-yl)phenyl)acrylic acid (TBAC) based on triphenylamine was designed and synthesized.
Results: The TBAC probe provided excellent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) performance and could be used as a fluorescent ink for printing.
