New polymeric barium(II) 2,2'-diphenyldicarboxylate complex

New polymeric photosensitizers*

Novel polymeric photosensitizers for singlet oxygen production in water are described. The polymers contain rose bengal (4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2',4',5',7'–tetraiodo-fluorescein) chromophores covalently attached to the polymer chain. The quantum yields of singlet oxygen formation and photooxidation of phenol in water have been determined. The methods of separation of photosensitizer from the react...

New drug delivery systems based on polymeric silk fibroin

Nowadays, design and synthesis of efficient drug delivery systems are of vital importance in order to optimize the efficacy of therapeutics and reducing side effects. So far, many drug delivery systems have been designed, among them, natural polymer-based systems have attracted the most attention. Silk fibroin (SF) as a natural polymer have several unique properties including excellent biocompa...

[Bioceramic and polymeric bioactive composite implants in orbit zygomatic complex reconstruction: a new prospect for biomaterials].

PURPOSE To evaluate through clinical and tomographic parameters implant behavior in orbital zygomatic reconstruction in six patients. METHODS The subjects for this preliminary study consisted of six anophthalmic socket patients (3 patients presented residual orbital zygomatic deformities after complex facial fractures and 3 patients presented orbital zygomatic retraction after enucleation and...

Production of new polymeric compounds in plants.

Plant metabolic engineering has recently enabled the synthesis of a range of polyhydroxyalkanoates as well as a protein-based polymer. These novel compounds can be harvested from plants as a renewable source of environmentally friendly polymers or can be used to change the physical properties of plant products, such as fibres.
