The emerging field of amphiphilic conetworks (APCNs) is critically reviewed. A definition of
APCNs is proposed and discussed in depth. The field of APCN science, born in 1988, is …

The arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequence binds to key cell membrane structures
within the integrin family. These sequences are found on several extracellular proteins that …

We synthesized agarose–polycaprolactone (Agr-PCL) bicomponent and Agr–polyethylene
glycol–PCL (Agr-PEG-PCL) tricomponent amphiphilic co-network (APCN) gels by the …

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-and polyethylene glycol–polycaprolactone (PEG–PCL)-based
hydrogels were synthesized with various compositions of prepolymers by using ROP and …

Cell adhesion and proliferation on poly (d, l‐lactic acid)(PDLLA) tissue‐engineering
scaffolds is low. This is generally regarded to be due to the surface chemistry of the PDLLA …

Novel amphiphilic conetworks (APCN) consisting of thermoresponsive poly (N-
isoproplyacrylamide)(PNiPAAm) cross-linked by hydrophobic methacrylate-telechelic …

Two pH-induced thermosensitive amphiphilic gels for controlled drug release were
constructed with thermosensitive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAm) and hydrophobic …

A pH-responsive amphiphilic hydrogel with interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN)
structure for controlled drug release was proposed. The IPN was constructed with …

Amphiphilic conetwork (APCN) gels have emerged as an important class of biomaterials
due to their diverse applications. APCN gels based on biocompatible/biodegradable …

Preparation of model amphiphilic polymer networks (APNs) using various polymerization
mechanisms and/or organic coupling reactions are reviewed. A particular emphasis is made …
