Fabricating Superhydrophobic Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Applications.
Superhydrophobic materials, with surfaces possessing permanent or metastable non-wetted states, are of interest for a number of biomedical and industrial applications. Here we describe how electrospinning or electrospraying a polymer mixture containing a biodegradable, biocompatible aliphatic polyester (e.g., polycaprolactone and poly(lactide-co-glycolide)), as the major component, doped with a...
متن کاملAdvanced polymeric scaffolds for functional materials in biomedical applications
Advancements in the biomedical field are driven by the design of novel materials with controlled physical and bio-interactive properties. To develop such materials, researchers rely on the use of highly efficient reactions for the assembly of advanced polymeric scaffolds that meet the demands of a functional biomaterial. In this thesis two main strategies for such materials have been explored; ...
متن کاملC60-containing nanostructured polymeric materials with potential biomedical applications
Star-shaped polymers with a fullerene (C60) core and an unexpanded structure were successfully prepared by reaction of C60 with amino end-capped polyesters HxC60(NHPCLn)x and polyethers HxC60(NHPEGn)x, respectively. Upon irradiation of these C60-derivatives, a large amount of singlet oxygen was released. Compared to previously synthesized star-shaped azafulleroids with an expanded structure, th...
متن کاملBiomedical Applications of Biodegradable Polyesters
The focus in the field of biomedical engineering has shifted in recent years to biodegradable polymers and, in particular, polyesters. Dozens of polyester-based medical devices are commercially available, and every year more are introduced to the market. The mechanical performance and wide range of biodegradation properties of this class of polymers allow for high degrees of selectivity for tar...
متن کاملBiomedical Applications of Biodegradable Polymers.
Utilization of polymers as biomaterials has greatly impacted the advancement of modern medicine. Specifically, polymeric biomaterials that are biodegradable provide the significant advantage of being able to be broken down and removed after they have served their function. Applications are wide ranging with degradable polymers being used clinically as surgical sutures and implants. In order to ...
