Different composition poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl methacrylate) copolymers through seeded semi-batch emulsion polymerization

In vitro haematic proteins adsorption and cytocompatibility study on acrylic copolymer to realise coatings for drug-eluting stents

“…Polymers used were poly(methylmethacrylate-co-butylmethacrylate) copolymers (P(MMA-co-BMA)), synthesised by the authors as described in a previous work through a monomer-starved semi-batch emulsion radical polymerisation [18]. Table 1 summarises copolymer nomenclature, percentage molar composition of the monomer mixture used for the synthesis and the actual macromolecular composition of the products.…”

Influence of compositions and polymerization processes on morphologies, molar mass distributions, and phase structures of n‐Butyl acrylate–methyl methacrylate copolymers

“…Conversion measurements were made by taking samples (about 5 mL) from the reactor during polymerization, and the samples were weighed to determine the overall conversion according to the method by Silvestri et al (see section S1 in Supporting Information) …”

Macromolecular composition and drug-loading effect on the delivery of paclitaxel and folic acid from acrylic matrices

“…In order to compare the effect of the macromolecular composition on delivery characteristics, also homopolymers polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and polybutylmethacrylate (PBMA) were tested. Materials were synthesized from the authors with a monomer-starved semi-batch emulsion polymerization (Silvestri et al, 2009b). In Table 1 the nomenclature and the composition of the copolymers are reported.…”
