In this work, two new water-soluble photoinitiators based on the α-alkoxy-arylketone scaffold have been synthesized and investigated for their ability to initiate photopolymerization for the preparation of hydrogels. The efficiency of these new...
As final attributes of dosage form largely depend on the properties of excipients used, understanding the effect of physicochemical properties of excipients is important. In the present study, six grades of L-HPC with varying degrees of particle size...
Arboviral diseases have a high incidence in Brazil and constitute a serious public health problem. Rocio virus (ROCV) is an arbovirus belonging to the family Flaviviridae. It was responsible for the emergence of an outbreak of encephalitis on the S&a...
Conducting polymers, mainly polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPY) with positive charges bind to the negatively charged bacterial membrane to interfere with bacterial activities. After this initial electrostatic adherence, the conducting polymers m...
In the present study, a series of aliphatic polyesters based on succinic acid and several diols with 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 methylene groups, namely poly(ethylene succinate) (PESu), poly(butylene succinate) (PBSu), poly(hexylene succinate) (PHSu), poly(o...
Given the fossil fuel crisis and the steady consumption of finite resources, the use of green polymers is becoming necessary. However, the term “green” describes materials that present green properties (such as biological origin and/or bi...
Additive manufacturing (AM), frequently cited as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a relatively new manufacturing technique for biofabrication, also called 3D manufacture with biomaterials and cells. Recent advances in this field will facilitate fu...
High-molecular-weight hypromellose (HPMC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) are widely known, extended-release polymers. Conventional high-molecular-weight HPMCs are preferred in extended-release applications but not widely used in twin-screw melt gr...
