Modification of Polyvinyl Alcohol via Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization for Targeted Drug Delivery Applications

In current study,a hydrogel based on biocompatible polymerwas prepared. The functionalization of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)with epichlorohydrin(ECH) to produce epichlorohydrin-g-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA/ECH) as a suitable macroinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) reaction was investigated.ThenN-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) waspolymerized on the surface of macroinitiatorin presence of...

Surface Modification of Titanium by Atomic Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP)

Titanium is commonly used as an orthopedic biomaterial due to its unique mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance. However, after implantation into the body, titanium does not always integrate completely with bone. Its performance can be improved by surface modification with an osteointegrative, bioactive coating such as poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (pNaSS). Thin films of NaSS were...

Modification of polysaccharides through controlled/living radical polymerization grafting-towards the generation of high performance hybrids.

This review covers the literature concerning the modification of polysaccharides through controlled radical polymerizations (NMP, ATRP and RAFT). The different routes to well-defined polysaccharide-based macromolecules (block and graft copolymers) and graft-functionalized polysaccharide surfaces as well as the applications of these polysaccharide-based hybrids are extensively discussed.
