Temperature-Responsive Biocompatible Copolymers Incorporating Hyperbranched Polyglycerols for Adjustable Functionality
Temperature-triggered copolymers are proposed for a number of bio-applications but there is no ideal material platform, especially for injectable drug delivery. Options are needed for degradable biomaterials that not only respond to temperature but also easily accommodate linkage of active molecules. A first step toward realizing this goal is the design and synthesis of the novel materials repo...
متن کاملHyperbranched polyglycerols on the nanometer and micrometer scale.
We report the preparation of polyglycerol particles on different length scales by extending the size of hyperbranched polyglycerols (3 nm) to nanogels (32 nm) and microgels (140 and 220 μm). We use miniemulsion templating for the preparation of nanogels and microfluidic templating for the preparation of microgels, which we obtain through a free-radical polymerization of hyperbranched polyglycer...
متن کاملAdsorption mechanism and valency of catechol-functionalized hyperbranched polyglycerols
Nature often serves as a model system for developing new adhesives. In aqueous environments, mussel-inspired adhesives are promising candidates. Understanding the mechanism of the extraordinarily strong adhesive bonds of the catechol group will likely aid in the development of adhesives. With this aim, we study the adhesion of catechol-based adhesives to metal oxides on the molecular level usin...
متن کاملPhotoresponsive crosslinked hyperbranched polyglycerols as smart nanocarriers for guest binding and controlled release.
A convenient methodology for the synthesis of photolabile crosslinked hyperbranched polyglycerol nanocapsules is presented. These nanocarriers selectively and efficiently bind ionic guest molecules. The stability of the host-guest complexes formed depends on the counterion of the guest molecules. Moreover, the control over guest binding can be achieved by modification of the polymer building bl...
متن کاملCross-linked hyperbranched polyglycerols as hosts for selective binding of guest molecules.
The ring-closing metathesis reaction of dendrimers containing allyl ether end groups is known to rigidify them significantly. Herein we report that polyallylated hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) 1 complexes the sodium salt of rose Bengal in chloroform solution but releases it readily to water. In contrast, extensively cross-linking 1 with Grubbs catalyst provides 2 which similarly complexes ros...
