Blue: Biocompatible and biodegradable water-soluble dendrimers comprising ureas within the interior amino groups on periphery were synthesized in supercritical carbon dioxide (dendrimer of generation 1 shown picture). This novel class shows a pH-dependent intrinsic blue fluorescence at very low concentrations, which makes them potential polymeric fluorescent cell markers. Detailed facts importance to specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed,...
Tannic acid (TA) complexation with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) microgels changed their morphology and temperature responsiveness, depending on TA concentration pH (below the pKa). Complexes prepared a low content had higher critical solution than pure PNIPAAm as consequence of hydrophilic character TA; however, above threshold, physically cross-links polymeric network, altering suppressing thermodynamically driven coil-to-globule transition. DRIFT spectral analysis indicated that...
Here, a continuous two-step glass-capillary microfluidic technique to produce multistage oral insulin delivery system is reported. This represents promising alternative for the common protein/peptide-loaded liposome formulations.
Abstract Sulfonic acid carbon‐(bio)based and natural clays‐based catalysts were prepared investigated for the first time as heterogeneous amide bond synthesis by a Ritter reaction. The different SO 3 H‐catalysts screened using benzyl alcohol acetonitrile model substrates, MWCNT‐CSP revealed to be an efficient catalyst, affording in 75 % yield. practical utility of was demonstrated diverse range amides, obtained from alcohols nitriles, moderate good yields. Biomass derived platform alcohols,...
Molecularly imprinted polymeric particles with molecular recognition towards Bisphenol A (BPA) were synthesized for the first time using semi-covalent imprinting approach in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2). The material's affinity to BPA was achieved by co-polymerizing ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) a template-containing monomer, (BPADM) scCO2. is then cleaved from matrix hydrolysis tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (n-Bu4OH) also environment, taking advantage of high diffusivity...
