Conducting Polymer Devices for Bioelectronics
The emergence of organic electronics – a technology that relies on carbon-based semiconductors to deliver devices with unique properties – represents one of the most dramatic developments of the past two decades. A rapidly emerging new direction in the field involves the interface with biology. The " soft " nature of organics offers better mechanical compatibility with tissue than traditional e...
متن کاملSilk fibroin as an organic polymer for controlled drug delivery.
The pharmaceutical utility of silk fibroin (SF) materials for drug delivery was investigated. SF films were prepared from aqueous solutions of the fibroin protein polymer and crystallinity was induced and controlled by methanol treatment. Dextrans of different molecular weights, as well as proteins, were physically entrapped into the drug delivery device during processing into films. Drug relea...
متن کاملAsymmetrical Polymer Vesicles for Drug delivery and Other Applications
Scientists have been attracted by polymersomes as versatile drug delivery systems since the last two decades. Polymersomes have the potential to be versatile drug delivery systems because of their tunable membrane formulations, stabilities in vivo, various physicochemical properties, controlled release mechanisms, targeting abilities, and capacities to encapsulate a wide range of drugs and othe...
متن کاملConducting polymer-hydrogels for medical electrode applications.
Conducting polymers hold significant promise as electrode coatings; however, they are characterized by inherently poor mechanical properties. Blending or producing layered conducting polymers with other polymer forms, such as hydrogels, has been proposed as an approach to improving these properties. There are many challenges to producing hybrid polymers incorporating conducting polymers and hyd...
متن کاملPolymer Micelles for Drug Delivery
Polymeric micelles obtained from the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers are probably one of the most common drug delivery carriers among polymeric nanoparticles.1–4 The rise of highly controlled polymerization techniques, especially processes such as ATRP5 and RAFT,6 has led to an extraordinary surge of new types of block copolymers fit for biomedical applications. Facile control ove...
