Thermoresponsive microhydrogels: preparation, properties and applications

Preparation, properties and applications of magnetic nanoparticles

Though studies on small particles of various materials go way back before Nanoscience was emerging, this new interdisciplinary branch of science not only re-termed them into nanoparticles (NPs), but also lead to a dramatically enhanced interest in this type of nanoscaled material with an often given though arbitrary upper diameter limit of 100 nm [1]. As a natural consequence of this worldwide ...

Thermoresponsive 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...

PREPARATION AND APPLICATIONS OF FLUORESCENT POLYGLUTARALDEHYDE IMMUNOMICROSPHERES

Aqueous glutaraldehyde has been polymerized under alkaline conditions in the presence of a surfactant to yield microspheres of varied diameters. Microbeads of a nominal 300 nm diameter, made fluorescent via fluoresceinisothiocyanate, were used as a carrier of rabbit anti-human red blood cell antibodies. Specific labeling of the human red blood cells as well as diagnostic use of these fluor...

Nanoengineered thermoresponsive magnetic hydrogels for biomedical applications

"Smart" hydrogels are part of an emerging class of biomaterials that respond to multiple external stimuli. A range of thermoresponsive magnetic hydrogels is currently being developed for on-demand delivery of biomolecules for a range of biomedical applications, including therapeutic drug delivery, bioimaging, and regenerative engineering. In this review article, we explore different types of ma...
