Dynamic formation of a volume holographic grating is mainly caused by the diffusion polymerization of a photoinitiator in TI/poly-(methyl methacrylates) (PMMAs). Here, we consider the time-dependent absorption coefficient in this material to establish an absorption modulated diffusion polymerization model. An experimental and theoretical investigation in TI/PMMAs with different sample thicknesses (1-3 mm) is presented. It is indicated that the thickness can regulate the holographic sensitivity and constancy in TI/PMMAs. Furthermore, we also examined the dark diffusion process, multiplexed gratings recording, pre-exposure holographic enhancement, and long-term full exposure in TI/PMMAs with different thicknesses to analyze their holographic sensitivity and constancy. It is predicted that, in general, the absorption characteristics in TI/PMMA can be further affected by changing its thickness, thus it is able to satisfy different requirements in high-density holographic memories.

The endosomal escape of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) is crucial for efficient mRNA-based therapeutics. Here, we present a cationic polymeric micelle (cPM) as a safe and potent co-delivery system with enhanced endosomal escape capabilities. We synthesized a cationic and ampholytic di-block copolymer, poly (poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylate--hexyl methacrylate)--poly(butyl methacrylate--dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate--propyl acrylate) (p(PEGMA--HMA)--p(BMA--DMAEMA--PAA)), via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization.

One of the most important formalisms used to describe membrane transport is Onsager-Peusner thermodynamics (TOP). Within the TOP framework, a procedure has been developed for the transformation of the Kedem-Katchalsky (K-K) equations for the transport of binary electrolytic solutions across a membrane into the Kedem-Katchalsky-Peusner (K-K-P) equations. The membrane system with an Ultra Flo 145 Dialyser membrane used for hemodialysis and aqueous NaCl solutions was used as experimental setup.

Cellulose nanofibers gained increasing interest in the production of medical devices such as mucoadhesive nanohydrogels due to their ability to retain moisture (high hydrophilicity), flexibility, superior porosity and durability, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and biocompatibility. In this work, we aimed to compare the suitability of selected bacterial and vegetal nanocellulose to form hydrogels for biomedical applications. The vegetal and bacterial cellulose nanofibers were synthesized from brewer's spent grains (BSG) and kombucha membranes, respectively.

In this present study, we developed and characterized a series of supramolecular G4 hydrogels by integrating -cyclodextrin (-CD) and boronic acid linkers into a supramolecular matrix to enhance antibacterial activity against (). We systematically investigated how varying the number of free boronic acid moieties (ranging from two to six), along with guanosine and β-CD content, influences both the structural integrity and antimicrobial efficacy of these materials. Comprehensive characterization using FTIR, circular dichroism, X-ray diffraction, SEM, AFM, and rheological measurements confirmed successful synthesis and revealed that higher boronic acid content correlated with a stronger, more organized network.

Researchers have been investigating the physical and morphological properties of biodegradable polymer and copolymer films, blending them with other chemicals to solve challenges in medical, industrial, and eco-environmental fields. The present study introduces a novel, straightforward method for preparing biodegradable hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) for medical applications. The resulting PVA/PVP-based hydrogel uniquely combines the water absorbency, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of the polymer composite.
