Abstract

Degradable polyurethane elastomers were synthesized using a diester chain extender. The chain extender was synthesized by a diesterification reaction between L-phenylalanine and 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol to yield a diester, diamine. Soft segment chemistry (polycaprolactone diol, PCL and polyethylene oxide, PEO) and molecular weight were varied and the impact on polyurethane physicochemical and degradation characteristics was evaluated. It was found that the PEO containing polyurethanes absorbed large amounts of water while the PCL containing ones did not, indicating a large difference in bulk hydrophilicity. The rate of water vapor permeance (WVP) through the polyurethane films generally followed the water absorption trends. However, soft segment crystallinity, noted by DSC, for the PCL containing polyurethanes served to reduce WVP values with increasing PCL molecular weight. Polyurethane surface characterization was carried out by water contact angles and XPS. The PEO containing polyurethanes exhibited low contact angles in comparison with the PCL ones. In addition, angle-resolved XPS demonstrated soft segment surface enrichment in all cases typical for phase segregated materials. Significant variation in the physicochemical ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.
