In this work, we successfully prepared rod-like capsules possessing a PVAc shell by introducing crosslinks. We used triallyl isocyanurate as a crosslinking reagent that possesses three reactive allyl ...

Cooling the microcapsule exploited the temperature-sensitivities of the polymers. The shell swelled with water and expanded to its stable size, while the free-floating polymer chains in the center of ...

Chemists have designed triple-threat cancer-fighting polymer capsules that bring the promise of guided drug delivery closer to preclinical testing. These multilayer capsules show three traits that ...

The authors develop a pratical approach to avoid unwanted interactions between pepsin and SLS in dissolution Tier II tests. Hard gelatin capsules are a common solid oral dosage form, but exposure to ...

Max Planck scientists in Potsdam are developing a new method using salt content and temperature to control the permeability of microcapsules © Max Planck Institute ...

Dyes that can convert low-energy and ambient light to higher-energy green or blue light could help boost the efficiency of solar cells and enable new kinds of medical imaging and light-based therapies ...

A tiny capsule invented at a UCLA lab could go a long way toward improving cancer treatment. Devising a method for more precise and less invasive treatment of cancer tumors, a team led by researchers ...

(Nanowerk News) Chemists at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have designed triple-threat cancer-fighting polymer capsules that bring the promise of guided drug delivery closer to preclinical ...
