Hydrogels, as drug delivery systems, are very important in tissue engineering applications. In this study, we developed a novel HA nanogel containing a cholesterol and maleimide derivative (HAMICH) and its corresponding crosslinked hydrogel (HAMICH gel) to encapsulate drugs for their subsequent release. HAMICH gels self-assemble into nanoparticles via hydrophobic interactions. Dynamic light scattering analysis of HAMICH revealed that the particle size tended to decrease with increasing degree of cholesterol moiety substitution. The HAMICH gel was prepared through a Michael addition reaction between HAMICH and pentaerythritol tetra(mercaptoethyl)polyoxyethylene. The concentration of HAMICH needed for gelation depends on the degree of cholesterol moiety substitution; the higher the substitution degree is, the greater the concentration of HAMICH needed. The HAMICH gel exhibited less swelling and a smaller volume change than the gel with an unmodified cholesterol moiety in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4). The HAMICH gel displayed enhanced peptide and protein trapping abilities without hydrogel swelling, suggesting its potential as a HA hydrogel for biomedical applications. Hydrogels have attracted considerable attention in the biomedical applications because of their high functionalities, biocompatibility and biodegradability.

Polycarbonates (PCs) are engineering plastics with high thermal stability and transparency. We focused on poly(isosorbide carbonate) (PIC), a bio-based PC synthesized from isosorbide (ISB) derived from glucose. PIC is expected to function as an alternative to conventional PCs because of its outstanding transparency and thermal and physical properties. This study prepared PIC copolymers with several types of diol comonomers to clarify the effect of copolymerization on the decomposition reaction with ammonia, i.e., ammonolysis for converting PIC copolymers into monomers and urea. The thermal and physical properties of the resulting copolymers were also investigated. The thermal stability of the PIC copolymers remained stable after copolymerization, and the glass transition temperature was affected mainly by the flexibility of the structure of the introduced comonomer. A drastic change in mechanical properties was observed for the copolymer synthesized with 1,4-butanediol, which provides guidelines for toughening PIC with a small comonomer ratio. Finally, we investigated the decomposition behavior of the copolymers by treatment with aqueous ammonia. The PIC copolymers were decomposed into ISB, comonomers, and urea, and the ammonolysis rate was affected by the introduced structure. This study promotes the effective use of ISB as a biomass resource through ammonolysis, which is an effective chemical recycling process for polycarbonate. To functionalize a poly(isosorbide carbonate) (PIC)-based polymer and evaluate its recyclability, several types of diol comonomers were copolymerized with isosorbide. The thermal and mechanical properties and decomposition behavior of the PIC copolymers were investigated. The thermal stability of PIC was retained, and its glass transition temperature was systematically controlled by copolymerization. The decomposition of the PIC copolymers upon treatment with aqueous ammonia yielded monomers and urea, and the decomposition rate was governed by the structure of the comonomer.","PeriodicalId":20302,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Journal","volume":"56 4","pages":"443-453"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41428-023-00878-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139462616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hydration can play a crucial role in controlling the hydrolysis of polymers. Here, ether-functionalized aliphatic polycarbonates (APCs) susceptible to nonenzymatic hydrolysis were developed for application as biocompatible biomaterials. Among these polymers, those grafted with 2-methoxyethyl and 3-methoxypropyl side chains via an amide group were highly wettable, strongly interacted with water, and experienced almost complete hydrolysis in phosphate-buffered saline over 30 days, which was attributed to the hydrogen bonding between water and the amide/methoxy groups. In an alkaline medium, all amide-linked APCs were completely hydrolyzed within 30 days, regardless of the side-chain structure. In contrast, the nonamide-linked APCs and a representative aliphatic polycarbonate, poly(trimethylene carbonate), were minimally degraded in the buffer and experienced <31% degradation under alkaline conditions. The APC with the 3-methoxypropyl side chain exhibited platelet adhesion properties comparable to those of ether-functionalized APCs previously reported as blood-compatible polymers. Thus, our results demonstrate the effects of an amide linker on the hydration and hydrolytic properties of APCs and can help establish new design concepts for degradable polymers.

This ability represents a novel advancement in LCD fabrication, resulting in enhanced electro-optical characteristics. To explore the impact of chirality on LCDs, we synthesized and radially constructed cellulose particles. These were then employed as chiral dopants in the production of LCD cells.

Fabrication of LCD cells without an alignment layer on substrates was achieved by indicate adding polymeric chiral nanoparticles into CLC mixtures. Adding 2 wt% chiral CNPs promoted the transmittance of the CLCs from 3.4 to 97%. This novel chiral dopant technique enables the use of a new easy method for the fabrication of LCDs.
