Design and Synthesis of Peptide‐Polyester Conjugates for Cell‐Mediated Scaffold Degradation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based biomaterials engineered to degrade in response to cell‐secreted proteases. A fast‐degrading peptide (Fast) sequence is integrated into a PCL conjugate backbone to produce a biomaterial that is selectively degraded by multiple cell types compared to its scrambled control (ScrFast).

Physicochemical Reinforcement Unlocks Sterilization‐Stable Anisotropic Hydrogels for Cell‐Compatible Mock Arteries

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In vitro arterial models offer ethical and robust alternatives for vascular research but require cytocompatible materials that replicate physiological mechanics. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels produced by directional freezing and salting‐out (PVA DFSO) are anisotropic yet lack stability for cell culture. Herein, methacrylated PVA (PVA‐MA)

Thoughening of poly(lactic acid) with silicone rubber

Polymer Engineering & Science, 2013
In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was blended with silicone rubber (SR) to improve its impact strength and toughness by using dynamic crosslinking in the presence of peroxide during melt compounding. The SR to PLA ratio, peroxide and coagent concentrations were taken as experimental parameters.

One-step assembly of poly(vinyl alcohol)/tannic acid complexes as a high oxygen barrier coating for poly(lactic acid) packaging films

, 2023
The low oxygen barrier property of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) film extremely impedes its widespread application for food package. Appling an oxygen barrier coating to the surface of PLA film represents an effective means of addressing this issue.
