Thioester Functional Polymers

Role of thermal and reactive oxygen species-responsive synthetic hydrogels in localized cancer treatment (bibliometric analysis and review)

“…348 Other well-known S-containing polymers and thioethers can be synthesized through transfer polymerization, ring-opening polymerization, and step-growth polymerization. 349 Thioethers, which are also responsive to high ROS environments, can react with H 2 O 2 and generate a solubility shift, causing carrier decomposition and subsequent release of the loaded drug. 348,350 Due to its inability to oxidize thioethers under normal physiological conditions, superoxide dismutase contributes to the degradation of thioethers by producing H 2 O 2 .…”

Systemic Overview of Microstrip Patch Antenna’s for Different Biomedical Applications

“… 42 Upon UV illumination, the intermediates of decomposition can be detected because the current depends on the inner wall. 43 Similarly, azobenzene can be attached via a di-sulphide bond to Thr117Cys α-hemolysin to study light-induced isomerization at the single-molecule level. 40 , 44 - 46 …”

PEG-Based Photo-Cross-Linked Networks with Adjustable Topologies and Mechanical Properties

“…Instead of using long commercial PEG-DA chains, we devised a two-step process starting from short PEG-DA chains. For that, long PEG-DA chains were first synthesized through Michael addition of dithiol molecules onto the short PEG-DA chains used in the first part of the study, following an already established methodology. , Those long PEG-DA chains were then photopolymerized in the presence of mixtures of mono- and tetrathiols to produce networks with tunable properties. We investigated how the elastic and dissipative properties of these networks could be adjusted to optimize their adhesive performances.…”
