In the title polymeric compound, [Mn(N(3))(2)(C(13)H(11)N(3))(2)](n), each Mn(II) centre is six-coordinated in an octahedral geometry by six N atoms from four 1-(4-pyridylmeth-yl)-1H-benzimidazole (L) ligands and two azide anions (N(3) (-)). Each of the Mn(II) ions lies on an inversion centre. The L ligands and N(3) (-) anions bridge adjacent Mn(II) centres, generating a polymeric chain running...

While polymeric fabrication processes, including recent advances in additive manufacturing, have revolutionized manufacturing, little work has been done on effective sensing elements compatible with and embedded within polymeric structures. In this paper, we describe the development and evaluation of two important sensing modalities for embedding in polymeric mechatronic and robotic mechanisms:...

To determine the fate of polymeric micelles after oral administration, we investigated the possible transport of polymeric micelles across Caco-2 monolayers and their biodistribution in rats after per os administration of [14C]-labelled mmePEG750P(CL-co-TMC) micelles containing risperidone (BCS Class II drug). mmePEG750P(CL-co-TMC) was able to cross Caco-2 monolayer via a saturable transport me...

The possibility of obtaining of new polymeric salts on the basis of guanidinium and phosphonium polysulfones was investigated. Guanidinium and phosphonium polysulfones were synthesized by free radical copolymerization technique. Polysulfonylpyrrolidinium and polysulfonylpyrrolidinylphosphonium hydroxides were obtained by ion chromatography. Chemical modification of hydroxides results in new opt...

As a model system to study protein traffic in polarized epithelial cells, we have used the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. This receptor travels first to the basolateral surface, where it can bind polymeric IgA or IgM. The receptor is then endocytosed and delivered to endosomes. The receptor is sorted into transcytotic vesicles, which are exocytosed at the apical surface. The 103-amino acid ...
