Non‐Porous Hydrogel Scaffolds for Locoregional Chemotherapy: A One‐Pot Synthesis Approach

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This hydrogel scaffold with tunable mechanical, water retention, degradation, and drug release properties is obtained by polymerizing the hydrophilic OEGMEMA monomer in the presence of PLGA and DOX under concentrated conditions. Its non‐porous structure provides diffusion‐based drug release, while extended drug release is possible by incorporating PLGA.

Antifouling Coatings Inspired by Biological Templates

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
The polymeric coatings developed using biological templates combine antifouling properties of polymers with mechanical properties of micro‐ and nano‐particles yielding contact active, foulant releasable, and stimuli responsive materials with superior antifouling performance and demonstrate several applications in the marine environment, as delivery ...

Friction and Wear Characterizations in Electrospun Nanofibrous Scaffolds for Cartilage Engineering

open access: yesNano Select, EarlyView.
Articular cartilage (AC)‐engineered electrospun scaffolds have experienced a surge in interest in publication in recent years. However, nanofiber frictional properties are poorly explored in the existing literature. We evaluated the effect of countersurface, speed, and hydrophilicity on nanofibers.

Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polyacrylamide‐Acrylic Acid Nanocomposite Hydrogels With Superior Mechanical and Tribological Performance as Focal Cartilage Substitute

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Though mimicking cartilage's structure, hydrogels often present weak mechanical performance, which limits their use in cartilage repair. Here, nanocomposite hydrogel was synthesized by incorporating multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a covalently bonded polyacrylamide/polyacrylic acid (PAAm/PAAc) hydrogel. Fourier transform infrared and

Bimodal Dissolving Microneedles with Nanoparticle Coating and Encapsulation for Extended Dual‐Drug Delivery

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A novel bimodal coated‐dissolving microneedle system is developed for extended transdermal delivery of diclofenac and dexamethasone nanoparticles. The formulation enables high drug loading, efficient skin penetration, and sustained release over 72 h, offering a minimally invasive, self‐administered therapy to improve osteoarthritis treatment by ...
