Recently, there has been a great deal of research activity in the development of hydrogels
as controlled release devices. The present review provides a brief introduction to various …

We review recent work on the use of “smart” microgel particles as “nanoreactors” for the
immobilization of metal nanoparticles as well as enzymes. A general feature of the microgel …

Thermal degradation and stabilization of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with a molecular weight
of 6000 have been investigated in order to develop PEG as a thermal energy storage …

Thermoresponsive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(pNIPAm) nanoparticles grafted with poly
(ethylene glycol)(PEG) chains were prepared via free-radical precipitation polymerization …

The determination of porous structure of fragile materials from classical methods such as
mercury porosimetry and nitrogen adsorption–desorption methods is often delicate and can …

Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) hydrogels have been investigated for a number of applications
in tissue engineering. The hydrogels can be designed to mimic tissues that have desired …

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been becoming a common component in the design of water
soluble binder systems for metal injection moulding. Similar to solvent debinding, PEG can …

Semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogel membranes composed of β-
chitin and poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) diacrylate macromer were synthesized and …

Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy was used to study the structure of
water at cross-linked PEO film interfaces in the presence of human serum albumin (HSA) …

Spherical crosslinked beads using chitosan, glycine and glutaraldehyde were prepared for
controlled release formulations. Structural investigation of the beads was made with IR …
