Electrospinning Composites as Carriers of Natural Pigment: Screening of Polymeric Blends

Polymeric Nanogels as Gene Carriers

Polymeric Microparticles as Alternative Carriers for Antidiabetic Glibenclamide Drug

Background: Glibenclamide is a lipophilic drug widely used in type 2 diabetes treatment. However, its low bioavailability limits its use. Thus, novel formulations should be applied to improve the drug’s bioavailability. Objectives: This study aimed to develop alternative carriers for oral delivery of glibenclamide. For this purpose, two biocompatible polymers, poly(e-caprolactone) and poly(but...

The fabrication of polymeric nanochannels by electrospinning.

Polymeric nanochannels have been fabricated using a cost-effective, fast, one-step method involving the collision of nanosized jets during electrospinning. The nanochannels had a uniform U-shaped cross-section, with a height below 100 nm and lengths around 1 mm. It was explained that the strength of the electric field had an important effect on the formation of the nanochannels. An adhesion tes...

TiO2 Pigment Suspension Behaviour upon Adsorption of Polymeric Dispersants

The influence of polymeric dispersants containing different functional groups on TiO2 pigment particle suspension was investigated at pH 6.0 and 9.5, using rheology and particle size data. The dispersants chosen were polyacrylic acid and modified polyacrylamides including homo and copolymers modified with carboxylate and/or hydroxyl groups. The pigment suspension was strongly affected by both p...
