Silk Fibroin for Cardiovascular Medical Devices: Review of Material Properties, Applications, and Clinical Potential

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Silk fibroin is an attractive natural biomaterial that can be engineered into diverse cardiovascular constructs, including vascular grafts, cardiac patches, heart valves, and stent coatings. Its tunable biological and mechanical properties have driven substantial preclinical progress; however, widespread clinical translation in cardiovascular ...

Coarse‐Grained Simulations Rationalize Thermosensitivity and Hydrolytic Degradation of Vinyl Copolymers Obtained by Radical Ring‐Opening Polymerization

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Coarse‐grained (CG) molecular dynamics simulations were used to predict the upper critical solution temperature of copolymers obtained by radical ring‐opening copolymerization of cyclic ketene acetals and vinyl monomers, and to account for their unique degradation kinetics under physiological conditions by evaluating the solvation of their ester groups.

Fine Tuning of Catalyst Active Sites to Access Advanced Ultrahigh‐Melting Polyolefins

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A redesign of the active site of the pyridylamido hafnium (Hf) catalysts can enhance the performance of this catalyst family and unlock previously inaccessible polymer structures. When the catalyst is precontacted with allyltrimethylsilane the active species is modified and the catalyst experiences a new life becoming able to polymerize sterically ...
