Tailored drug release from biodegradable stent coatings based on hybrid polyurethanes.
Highly adjustable and precisely controllable drug release from a biodegradable stent coating was achieved using a unique family of nanostructured hybrid polyurethanes. These polyurethanes are polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane thermoplastic polyurethanes (POSS TPUs) featuring alternating multiblock structures formed by nanostructured hard segments of POSS and biodegradable soft segments of a polyla...
متن کاملBiodegradable, multi-layered coatings for controlled release of small moleculesw
The design of biocompatible polymers and materials with multiple functional groups is a true challenge for synthetic chemists. These materials have to fulfil numerous criteria: they should possess multiple functions for attachment of biomolecules, control of surface properties, etc. while at the same time meeting strict performance requirements for biocompatibility, biodegradation, adhesion, fl...
متن کاملBiodegradable, multi-layered coatings for controlled release of small molecules.
Incorporation of orthogonal functional groups into biodegradable polymers permits the fabrication of multi-layered thin films with improved adhesion and tunable degradation profiles. The bi-layer structure also allows for accurate control over small molecule release.

and distribution system, approximately 70 to 90 percent of the energy used is for pumping. With the rising cost of electricity, more municipalities are searching for technologies to improve operational efficiency. One method for improving the efficiency of pumps is to line the pumps with a polymeric coating system. Polymeric systems have been shown to provide increased flow at the desired press...
متن کاملDrug-eluting stent coatings.
This paper reviews the development of coronary stents from a polymer scientist's view point, and presents the first results of an interdisciplinary team assembled for the development of new stent systems. Poly(styrene-b-isobutylene-b-styrene) block copolymer (SIBS), a nanostructured thermoplastic elastomer, is used in clinical practice as the drug-eluting polymeric coating on the Taxus coronary...
