Bioinspired Suction-Cup Architecture Modulates Hydration and Pomegranate-Extract Release from NVP/HEMA/CMC Hydrogels

Surface architecture may tune hydrogel transport without changing formulation. Flat and suction-cup N-vinylpyrrolidone/2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/carboxymethyl cellulose (NVP/HEMA/CMC) hydrogels prepared from the same nominal formulation were compared for hydration, equilibrium...

Hybrid Silk Fibroin/Poly(lactic acid) Macromer Nanogels for Advanced Drug Delivery: Influence of Organic and Silsesquioxane Crosslinker Topologies on Molecular Organization and Physicochemical Properties

Abstract Molecular orientation and structural topology play critical roles in determining the performance of biomacromolecular nanocarriers for controlled drug delivery. Herein, the influence of organic and silsesquioxane crosslinker topologies on hybrid nanogels composed of an a...
