Intrinsic surface-drying properties of bioadhesive proteins.
Sessile marine mussels must "dry" underwater surfaces before adhering to them. Synthetic adhesives have yet to overcome this fundamental challenge. Previous studies of bioinspired adhesion have largely been performed under applied compressive forces, but such studies are poor predictors of the ability of an adhesive to spontaneously penetrate surface hydration layers. In a force-free approach t...
متن کاملBioadhesive properties of Gantrez nanoparticles.
Bioadhesive nanoparticles have been proposed as carriers for the oral delivery of poorly available drugs and facilitate the use of this route. This work summarises some experiments describing the bioadhesive potential of Gantrez nanoparticles fluorescently labeled with rhodamine B isothiocyanate. The adhesive potential of Gantrez was found to be stronger when folded as nanoparticles than in the...
متن کاملUsing Polarization to Determine Intrinsic Surface Properties
Among properties computer vision attempts to extract from images are: local shape, intrinsic reflection parameters, and roughness because they are all crucial to the success of image interpretation in general and to realistic surface modeling in particular. We seek light reflection phenomena and reflectance models that could better capture the relation of reflected light parameters to the local...
متن کاملBioadhesive properties of β-limit dextrin.
PURPOSE β-Limit dextrin has been studied for many years as a means to investigate the internal structures of amylose and amylopectin. However its role as an excipient in the pharmaceutical industry has never been reported. This paper is the first one in a series to explore its potential use as an excipient to aid drug delivery. METHODS The bioadhesive properties of β-limit dextrin were studie...
متن کاملInjectable Bioadhesive Hydrogels with Innate Antibacterial Properties
Surgical site infections cause significant postoperative morbidity and increased healthcare costs. Bioadhesives used to fill surgical voids and support wound healing are typically devoid of antibacterial activity. Here we report novel syringe-injectable bioadhesive hydrogels with inherent antibacterial properties prepared from mixing polydextran aldehyde and branched polyethylenimine. These adh...
