Multitechnique characterization of fatty acid-modified microgels.
The structure of fatty acid-modified hydrogel objects (microgels) created within microfluidic devices for controlled-release or sensory applications was characterized by various imaging and spectroscopic methods. Imaging with scanning electron microscopy revealed that the surface was rough and irregular on the micrometer scale. Examination of planar model systems analogous to the modified micro...
متن کاملEnhanced and sustained topical ocular delivery of cyclosporine A in thermosensitive hyaluronic acid-based in situ forming microgels
For nearly a decade, thermoresponsive ophthalmic in situ gels have been recognized as an interesting and promising ocular topical delivery vehicle for lipophilic drugs. In this study, a series of thermosensitive copolymers, hyaluronic acid-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (HA-g-PNIPAAm), was synthesized, by coupling carboxylic end-capped PNIPAAm to aminated hyaluronic acid through amide bond linka...
متن کاملComposite Materials of Thermo-responsive Polymer Networks and Inorganic Nanoparticles
The focus of this work is on composite materials of inorganic nanoparticles such as TiO2 embedded within microspheres of a responsive polymeric network. Microgels of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) with interpenetrating (IP) linear chains of poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) were synthesized to promote the incorporation of TiO2. Dynamic light scattering measurements of the IP-microgels in aqueous environ...
متن کاملMagnetic microgels, a promising candidate for enhanced magnetic adsorbent particles in bioseparation: synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and separation performance.
For specific applications in the field of high gradient magnetic separation of biomaterials, magnetic nanoparticle clusters of controlled size and high magnetic moment in an external magnetic field are of particular interest. We report the synthesis and characterization of magnetic microgels designed for magnetic separation purposes, as well as the separation efficiency of the obtained microgel...
متن کاملGold nanorods grown on microgels leading to hexagonal nanostructures.
Hexagonal patterns of gold nanorods were made by assembling gold nanorod-coated poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) microgels. The required population of nanorods on the microgels was achieved by attaching nanoparticle seeds on the latter and growing them to nanorods. The various materials prepared were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Similar experiments with...
