Enhanced one-component spray polyurethane foams via sol-gel microspheres doped with aqueous glycerol
2013
The sol-gel microencapsulation of aqueous glycerol in silica-based microspheres affords functional materials that can be used to cure one-component polyurethane foams (OCF) formulations affording better and greener foam formation. These findings are important and may open the route to more sustainable materials, such as foams, coatings, adhesives, and sealants that are widely utilized in many industrial sectors. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
Functionalization of a polyaspartamide with glycidyl methacrylate: A useful method to prepare hydrogels through gamma irradiation
1999
α-β-Poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide (PHEA) was derivatized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). Aqueous solutions of the obtained copolymer PHEA-GMA (PHG) were irradiated by gamma rays with a dose rate of 0.5 KGy/h and at zero °C in the presence or in the absence of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS). New hydrogel systems were obtained and characterized by FT-IR analyses and swelling measurements in aqueous medium at different pH values.
Hydrogels containing 5-Fluorouracil obtained by γ-irradiation. Synthesis, characterization and in vitro release studies
2001
The functionalization of α,β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-dl-aspartamide (PHEA) with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) gives rise to a water-soluble copolymer PHEA-GMA (PHG) containing double bonds and ester groups in the side chain. Aqueous solutions of PHG alone or in combination with N,N′ methylenbisacrylamide (BIS) have been exposed to a γ-ray source at different irradiation doses in order to obtain polymeric networks. All samples have been prepared both as water-swellable microparticles and as gel systems. Microparticles have been characterized by FT-IR spectrophotometry and swelling measurements in aqueous media mimicking biological fluids. The effect of irradiation dose and BIS presence on rheol…

2001
The functionalization of α,β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-dl-aspartamide (PHEA) with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) gives rise to a water-soluble photosensitive copolymer PHEA-GMA (PHG). Aqueous solutions of PHG alone or in combination with various concentrations of poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate or poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) have been exposed to a source of UV rays at 313 nm in order to obtain polymeric networks. All samples have been prepared both as water-swellable microparticles and as gel systems. Microparticles have been characterised by Fourier transform IR spectrophotometry, dimensional analysis and swelling measurements in aqueous media mimicking biological fluids. In vi…
New biodegradable hydrogels based on a photocrosslinkable modified polyaspartamide: synthesis and characterization
1999
Abstract α,β-Poly( N -2-hydroxyethyl)- dl -aspartamide (PHEA), a synthetic water-soluble biocompatible polymer, was derivatized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), in order to introduce in its structure chemical residues having double bonds and ester groups. The obtained copolymer (PHG) contained 29 mol% of GMA residues. PHG aqueous solutions at various concentrations ranging from 30 to 70 mg/ml were exposed to a source of UV rays at λ 254 nm in the presence or in the absence of N , N ′-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS); the formation of compact gel phases was observed beginning from 50 mg/ml. The obtained networks were characterized by FT-IR spectrophotometry and swelling measurements which evide…
New biodegradable hydrogels based on an acryloylated polyaspartamide cross-linked by gamma irradiation
1999
Alpha, beta-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide (PHEA), a synthetic biocompatible macromolecule, was functionalized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) in order to introduce in its side chains residues having double bonds and ester groups. The copolymer (PHG), obtained from PHEA and GMA, had a degree of derivatization of 29 mol%. PHG aqueous solutions are cross-linked by gamma radiation at 0 degrees C either in the presence or absence of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) giving rise to new hydrogel systems. In both cases gelation occurs at quite low doses (0.26 and 0.4 kGy, respectively). The obtained networks were characterized by FT-IR spectrophotometry which confirmed that the cross-linki…
Biodegradable hydrogels obtained by photocrosslinking of dextran and polyaspartamide derivatives
2003
The functionalization of dextran with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) leads to the formation of a derivative that generates hydrogels for irradiation at 365nm. The effects of various polymer concentrations and irradiation times on the yield and the properties of the obtained hydrogels are reported. The networks have been characterized by FT-IR spectra, dimensional analysis and swelling measurements carried out at different pH values. In vitro studies suggest that all samples undergo a partial chemical hydrolysis, whereas the incubation with dextranases causes a total degradation whose rate depends on the degree of crosslinking. In addition, aqueous solutions of functionalized dextran have been …
Interaction of metal ions with N-glycosylamines: isolation and characterization of the products of 4,6-O-benzylidene-N-(o-carboxyphenyl)-β-D-glucopyr…
2001
Metal-ion complexes of Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ with 4,6–O–benzylidene–N–(o–carboxyphenyl)–β–D–glucopyranosylamine were synthesized and isolated as solid products and characterized by analytical means as well as by spectral techniques, such as, 1H and 13C NMR, FTIR, absorption, FAB mass spectrometry, optical rotation and CD. While the alkali metal ions formed ML type of complexes, the other metal ions formed ML2 type complexes. Molecular weights of the complexes of Li+, Na+ and K+ were established based on the molecular-ion peaks in the FAB mass spectra. The saccharide portion remians in the β-anomeric form even after the complexation. The spectral data, as well as t…

1988
The bonding and the configuration of the tin environment in the title compounds {R2Sn[SCH2CH(NH3+)COO−]2 and R2Sn[SC(CH3)2CH(NH3+)COO−]2, indicated in the following as R2Sn(cysH)2 and R2Sn(penH)2 respectively} has been investigated through the determination of the Mossbauer-Zeeman spectra of Ph2Sn(cysH)2 and Ph2Sn(penH)2 in the solid state, and through conventional Mossbauer spectroscopy of Me2Sn(penH)2 in the solid state as well as of Me2Sn(cysH)2 and Me2Sn(penH)2 in aqueous solution (frozen). The treatment of the data by the pointcharge model approach suggested the general occurrence of a tetrahedral C2SnS2 core. In aqueous Hepes buffer, a tertiary amino nitrogen atom has been observed to…
A sub-supersolution approach for Neumann boundary value problems with gradient dependence
2020
Abstract Existence and location of solutions to a Neumann problem driven by an nonhomogeneous differential operator and with gradient dependence are established developing a non-variational approach based on an adequate method of sub-supersolution. The abstract theorem is applied to prove the existence of finitely many positive solutions or even infinitely many positive solutions for a class of Neumann problems.
