A bio-based pro-antimicrobial polymer network via degradable acetal linkages

Synthesis of (Bio)degradable Polymers via Thiol-ene Click Polymerization

Towards the development of (bio)degradable polymers with medical relevance a non-radical thiolene synthesis route is investigated. In this work, step growth polymerization based on Michael addition click reactions is presented. Homotelechelic RAFT polymers were conjugated leading to polymers with molar weight distribution typical for a step growth polymerization, tailing up to 100 000 g∙mol-1 i...

Evaluation of three blackberry fruit types in Bio-degradable and nonbio-degradable packaging types

Local Antimicrobial Delivery of Satranidazole Loaded Cross Linked Periodontal Chips Using Bio Degradable Polymers

Objective: The goal in using a local nonsurgical controlled intrapocket device for the delivery of an antimicrobial agent is the achievement and maintenance of therapeutic drug concentration for the desired period of time. Methods: The study was conducted to fabricate a bio erodible delivery system for Satranidazole, dispersed in two different polymers, natural Chitosan and semi synthetic HPMC ...

Bio-degradable Plastics- Impact on Environment

Eco-Challenges of Bio-Based Polymer Composites

In recent years bio-based polymer composites have been the subject of many scientific and research projects, as well as many commercial programs. Growing global environmental and social concern, the high rate of depletion of petroleum resources and new environmental regulations have forced the search for new composites and green materials, compatible with the environment. The aim of this articl...
