Smart Polymers and Coatings Obtained by Ionizing Radiation: Synthesis and Biomedical Applications
Gamma radiation has been shown particularly useful for the functionalization of surfaces with stimuli-responsive polymers. This method involves the formation of active sites (free radicals) onto the polymeric backbone as a result of the exposition to high-energy radiation, in which a proper microenvironment for the reaction among monomer and/or polymer and the active sites takes place, thus lea...
متن کاملBiomedical Sensors of Ionizing Radiation
To understand the performance of a sensor or make a choice between different sensors for a detection task it is important to have an understanding of how the recorded signals are generated. In the case of sensing ionizing radiation, signals are generated after the incoming radiation has undergone interactions within the sensor material. The types of interactions and the subsequent resultant par...
متن کاملPhotocrosslinkable Polymers for Biomedical Applications
Photopolymerization techniques provide a number of economic advantages over the usual thermal techniques. These include: rapid cure reaction, low energy requirements, use of room temperature and solvent free formulations as well as low cost. Light beams are used to start the photochemical reactions in organic materials (monomers, oligomers, polymers) to form a new polymeric system This techniqu...
متن کاملBiomedical Applications of Biodegradable Polymers.
Utilization of polymers as biomaterials has greatly impacted the advancement of modern medicine. Specifically, polymeric biomaterials that are biodegradable provide the significant advantage of being able to be broken down and removed after they have served their function. Applications are wide ranging with degradable polymers being used clinically as surgical sutures and implants. In order to ...
متن کاملThermoresponsive Polymers for Biomedical Applications
Thermoresponsive polymers are a class of “smart” materials that have the ability to respond to a change in temperature; a property that makes them useful materials in a wide range of applications and consequently attracts much scientific interest. This review focuses mainly on the studies published over the last 10 years on the synthesis and use of thermoresponsive polymers for biomedical appli...
