Modeling the Swelling Pressure of Degrading Hydroxyethylmethacrylate-Grafted Dextran Hydrogels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Degrading hydroxyethylmethacrylate-grafted dextran (dex-HEMA) hydrogels generate a relatively sudden increase in osmotic pressure upon degradation into dextran solutions. This phenomenon is currently being examined as a possible means of developing a pulsatile drug-delivery system. Here a mathematical model based on scaling concepts is presented to describe this sudden increase in swelling pressure and to provide a framework for the rational design of pulsatile delivery systems based on this phenomena. The model provides a good fit to the swelling pressures measured for dex-HEMA gel/free dextran mixtures that simulate degrading dex-HEMA gels. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tailoring the swelling pressure of degrading dextran hydroxyethyl methacrylate hydrogels.
Swelling pressure measurements were performed on degrading dextran hydroxyethyl methacrylate (dex-HEMA) hydrogels. In these networks, the cross-links are hydrolyzable carbonate ester bonds formed between methacrylate groups and dextran molecules. It is demonstrated that dex-HEMA gels made in the presence of a known amount of free dextran chains exhibit osmotic properties similar to those of par...
متن کاملInfluence of free chains on the swelling pressure of PEG-HEMA and dex-HEMA hydrogels.
Insight in the osmotic behavior of degrading hydrogels is of great importance in the design of biodegradable hydrogels for biomedical applications. This study compares the degradation behavior of PEG-HEMA (hydroxyethylmethacrylated polyethylene glycol) and dex-HEMA (hydroxyethylmethacrylated dextran) hydrogels. The degradation of PEG-HEMA gels takes several months to over a year, while that of ...
متن کاملSimulation of Drug Concentration Changes in Swollen Hydrogels with Different Compounds of Chitosan and Gelatin Based on PVA
Introduction: Mathematical modeling of drug release is one of the ways to improve the rate of drug diffusion and infiltration in swollen hydrogel based systems. Using this method can provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of drug control and its release. Hydrogels are a swollen biomaterial that needs to be controlled for use in drug release. Purpose and methodology: In this study, fiv...
متن کاملSelf-exploding lipid-coated microgels.
Self-exploding microparticles show potential for advanced delivery of certain therapeutics. This study evaluates (1) whether degrading biodegradable dextran hydroxyethyl methacrylate (dex-HEMA) microgels can be coated by a lipid membrane and (2) whether the surrounding membrane can be ruptured by the increasing swelling pressure of the degrading microgel. We found that adsorption of charged lip...
متن کاملDextran grafted nickel-doped superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles: Electrochemical synthesis and characterization
In this paper, polymer grafted nickel-doped iron oxide nanoparticles are fabricated via an easy, one-step and fast electrochemical procedure. In the deposition experiments, iron(II) chloride hexahydrate, iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate, nickel chloride hexahydrate, and dextran were used as the bath composition. Dextran grafted nickel-doped iron oxides (DEX/Ni-SPIOs) were synthesized with applying...
