Sucrose diacrylate: A unique chemically and biologically degradable crosslinker for polymeric hydrogels

Monte Carlo Simulation of Polyelectrolyte Gels: Effects of Polydispersity and Topological Defects

“…Such systems could be made experimentally either by using a mixture of mono-and bifunctional end-linking polymers 28 or by breaking node-bead bonds after cross-linking by using, e.g., a biologically or chemically degradable cross-linker like sucrose diacrylate. 29 Here, we remove node-bead bonds in a controlled manner such that the infinite connectivity of the network remains in all three dimensions. The parameter p denotes the fraction of chains being elastically inactive, i.e., chains having one free end.…”

Activity and Stability of Proteases in Hydrophilic Solvents

“…The carbohydrate fatty acid esters described above have a wide range of applications due to their physical and chemical properties. Particularly laurate monoesters of mono -and disaccharides have anti -microbial properties [19] and vinyl esters of disaccharides can be used for polymerization -either homopolymerized or co -polymerized with acrylic acid or arylamide to produce hydrogels [20,21] . In this way Wang et al [21] synthesized biodegradable homopolymers of 1 ′ -O -vinyl hexanedioyl -sucrose and 6 ′ -Ovinyl hexanedioyl -lactose respectively, in which the disaccharide is linked to the polyvinyl main chain via the ester linkage to the hexanedioyl spacer.…”

Amphiphilic copolymers of sucrose methacrylate and acrylic monomers: Bio-based materials from renewable resource

“…The use of sucrose as raw material has attracted special attention for the production of surfactants (Carrea, Riva, Secundo, & Danieli, 1989;Hass et al, 1959;Wada, Onuma, Ushikubo, & Ito, 1988) and bio-based polymers (Chen et al, 1995;Chen & Park, 2000;Cheng & Gross, 2010;Crucho, Petrova, Pinto, & Barros, 2008;Feng et al, 2010;Jhurry et al, 1992;Liu & Dordick, 1999;Patil, Dordick, & Rethwisch, 1991a, 1991b, 1996Patil, Li, Rethwisch, & Dordick, 1997;Zamora, Strumia, & Bertorello, 1996) for several reasons. First, sucrose is a cheap raw material obtained directly from sugar cane and sugar beets.…”

“…The combination of these monomers with hydrophobic ones (e.g., methyl methacrylate) can lead to amphiphilic copolymers with a wide range of properties and applications. Typically, amphiphilic polymers, such as sugar-based polymers, are widely used in applications that require biocompatibility and/or biodegradability (Barros, Petrova, & Singh, 2010;Cheng & Gross, 2010;Feng et al, 2010;Galgali, Puntambekar, Gokhale, & Varma, 2004;Miura, 2007;Patil et al, 1997;Shantha & Harding, 2002;Takasu, Baba, & Hirabayashi, 2008).…”

“…The first reports on "saccharide polymers" mostly described the use of these materials for the production of polymeric networks (Chen & Park, 2000;Liu & Dordick, 1999;Patil et al, 1996Patil et al, , 1997Zamora et al, 1996). This is due to the difficulties in obtaining acrylic and vinyl saccharide monomers with a high Table 1 Reaction yield (Y), nominal molar composition (CN) and determined by 13 C NMR (CNMR), apparent number average molar weight (Mn), apparent weight average molar weight (Mw) and polydispersity (Mw/Mn) determined by GPC for polymers.…”
