Terpolymers are used to generate bio-decomposable self-assemblies. PEG-PVL-PGMA terpolymers synthesized via a combination of organocatalyzed living radical polymerization (RCMP) with polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA), generating vesicle, multicompartment micelle (MCM), and core-compartmentalized worm (CCW), where PEG, PVL, PGMA poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether, poly(?-valerolact...

Copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) with glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) in the presence of α-α'-azoisobisbutyronitrile (AIBN) resulted in the formation of hydrogel films carrying reactive epoxy groups. Thirteen kinds of different molecules with pendant NH2 group were used for modifications of the p(HEMA-GMA) films. The NH2 group served as anchor binding site for immobilization of ...

Four vitrimers were made using polyethylene – glycidyl methacrylate copolymer (PE-GMA) and 3,3′ dithiodipropionic acid (DTDPA) a two-step procedure. The amount of DTDPA added was varied, therefore, the crosslink density also varied. Rheological experiments performed. exhibit different rheological behavior depending on angular frequency applied, which most likely stems from presence crosslinked ...

Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement produce exothermic reaction during its polymerization process, which damage the surrounding bone tissue during orthopedic surgery. Nanoparticles additives (magnesium oxide, hydroxyapatite, chitosan, barium sulfate and silica) and alternative monomers (glycidyl methacrylate(GMA) tri-methaxysilyl propyl methacrylate (3MPMA)), can be incorporated with the PMM...
