Magnetic/pH-sensitive nanocomposite hydrogel based carboxymethyl cellulose –g- polyacrylamide/montmorillonite for colon targeted drug delivery
Objective(s): The main aim of current research was to develop a novel magnetically responsive hydrogel by radical polymerization of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on acryl amide (Am) using N,N'-methylene bis acrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinking agent, potassium persulfate (KPS) as a free radical initiator, and magnetic montmorillonite ( mMT) nanoclay as nano-...
متن کاملDevelopment of Temperature Sensitive Liposomes for targeted Drug Delivery
Hyperthermia and the liposomal drug delivery have been extensively evaluated in the past decades for drug delivery. More recently, these technologies have been used together in clinical trials. As an initial evaluation, luciferin was encapsulated in the liposome to provided release characteristics after heating. We have developed, through an easy and accurate process, temperature sensitive stab...
متن کاملDevelopment of a temperature-sensitive composite hydrogel for drug delivery applications.
To develop materials with improved controllability and specificity, we have investigated composite hydrogels with temperature-sensitive properties using photo cross-linking. Specifically, our novel composite materials are composed of nanoparticles made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), temperature-sensitive hydrogels, and a photo cross-linker, poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA). P...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of a Temperature-sensitive Lignin-based Hydrogel
A novel class of hydrogel was prepared by graft copolymerization of acetic acid lignin (AAL) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) in the presence of N,N'-Methylenebisacrylamide (MBAAm) as the crosslinker and H2O2 as the initiator. The impact of AAL content on the hydrogel properties were investigated in terms of their swelling behavior, thermal behavior, and interior morphology. The data showed t...
متن کاملA high-temperature blackbody radiation source.
A high -temperature blackbody radiation source, consisting of an electrically heated graphite tube with a small centrally located hole through one wall, was developed for use as a secondary standard in the calibration of radiometric and spectrometrlc instruments. The spectral emlssivity of this source, at 0.65 M» was calculated by the DeVos method, for which graphite emissivities and temperatur...
