Controlling cell behavior through the design of polymer surfaces [PDF]
Polymers have gained a remarkable place in the biomedical fi eld as materials for the fabrication of various devices and for tissue engineering applications. The initial acceptance or rejection of an implantable device is dictated by the crosstalk of

Investigating Hydrogel Structural Parameters in the Flory–Rehner Model Using Bayesian Optimization
ABSTRACT Hydrogels exhibit tunable solvent absorption driven by environmental stimuli such as temperature, pH, and light. While prior work established connections between synthesis processes and swelling behavior of temperature‐responsive hydrogels, the current study bridges the internal structure and the temperature‐responsive swelling behavior. First,

Bioartificial polymeric materials based on collagen and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)
Films of collagen (CLG) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAAm, were prepared by casting from water solutions. These bioartificial polymeric materials were studied to examine the influence of PNIPAAm content and glutaraldehyde vapor cross-linking on ...

Influence of polyelectrolyte on the thermosensitive property of PNIPAAm-based copolymer hydrogels
A new family of poly(NIPAAm-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) [P(NIPAAm-co-AMPSA)] hydrogels was synthesized by incorporating negative charged AMPSA to the backbone of the PNIPAAm-based hydrogel. The effect of polyelectrolyte (i.e., PAMPSA) on the thermosensitive property of PNIPAAm hydrogels was investigated.
