The formation of polymer-cyclodextrin inclusion compounds of polycarbonate (PC), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(vinylacetate) (PVAc) guests with host g-cyclodextrin (g-CD) have been successfully achieved. Coalesced bulk polymer samples were obtained by removal of g-CD from their inclusion compounds (ICs). The chemical and crystalline structures of ICs and coalesced PC, PMMA and PVAc w...

Plastics has been widely used at the hospitals and dominates the field of the manufacture of infusion bag sets and packaging materials as a disposable product. Recently, it has been reported, however, that expected drug effects could not be obtained owing mainly to the drug adsorption to the surface of plastic bags observed when several injection drugs such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrat...

Quinolinic acid (QA) is an N-methyl-d-aspartate agonist that has been shown to produce neurotoxic effects that mimic certain neurodegenerative diseases when administered to laboratory animals. Intrastriatal injections of QA in rats have been used extensively to produce some of the neuropathological and behavioral deficits that are analogous to Huntington's disease (HD). However, acute intrastri...

The systemic therapy of many curd~ou~cu~r diseases is often hampered by uduerse drug effects. The present paper examines the use of ~ontro~~d release implunts as a mean for optimizing drug concentrations at the affected site in the ~ard~v~~u~r system, while using a relatively low systemic dose. Controlled release systems have been prepared by combining a drug of choice with either a non-degrada...

Ethylene vinylacetate polymer (EVA) has been used for many years to fabricate controlled-release polymeric implant devices with which drugs of high or low molecular weight compounds could be delivered with zero-order kinetics. However, because the known fabrication methods such as solvent evaporation, casting and possible shrinkage are not sufficiently controllable we have now developed the mic...

There is a great demand for nontoxic flame retardants (FRs) in textile industry to replace harmful halogenated counterparts. On the other hand, availability of eco-friendly phosphorus-based FRs application on synthetic textiles are scarce for, especially back coating application. Thus, this work, non-toxic phosphorus such as EDA-DOPO (ED) and DOPO-PEPA (DP) were applied PET fabric via process. ...
