Polymeric Microspheres for Medical Applications
Synthetic polymeric microspheres find application in a wide range of medical applications. Among other applications, microspheres are being used as bulking agents, embolicor drug-delivery particles. The exact composition of the spheres varies with the application and therefore a large array of materials has been used to produce microspheres. In this review, the relation between microsphere synt...
متن کاملReview: Radioactive Microspheres for Medical Applications
This paper reviews the preparation and application of radioactive microspheres for medical purposes. It first discusses the properties of relevant radioisotopes and then explores the diagnostic uses of gammaemitter labeled microspheres, such as blood flow measurement and imaging of the liver and other organs. The therapeutic uses of alphaand beta-emitting microspheres, such as radioembolization...
متن کاملComparative study of nanohydroxyapatite microspheres for medical applications.
This study concerns the preparation, physical, and in vitro characterization of two different types of hydroxyapatite (HA) microspheres, which are intended to be used as drug-delivery systems and bone-regeneration matrices. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA-1 and HA-2) were prepared using the chemical precipitation synthesis with H(3)PO(4), Ca(OH)(2), and a surfactant, SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfat...
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 کاملFunctionalization of polymer microspheres using click chemistry.
We describe a new method to covalently link a wide variety of molecules to the surface of colloidal polymer microspheres using the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne reaction, most commonly known under the class of reactions identified by the term click chemistry. The method is generic and readily applied to a spectrum of colloidal particle systems allowing surfaces to be tailored with virtually any ...
