Metal-based compounds have been widely used for biomedical applications. Their unique characteristics make them attractive both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. However, numerous issues including toxicity, poor aqueous solubility, unfavorable biodistribution hamper their widespread use. To overcome these drawbacks, the concept of metal-based prodrugs emerged. This field is particularly deve...

Stimuli responsive dynamic changes in the networks of self-assembled gels result an alteration physical and chemical properties gel with time.

There is a significant interest in developing environmentally responsive or stimuli-responsive smart materials. The purpose of this study was to investigate multi-function cotton fabrics with surface modification on the nanoscale. Three technologies including electrospinning technology, interpenetrating polymer network and cross-linking technology were applied prepare sericin/poly(N-isopropylac...
