2. 1. Drug Eluting Hydrogels : Design, Synthesis and Evaluation

   Author : Lage Ahrenstedt; Deon Bezuidenhout; Michael Malkoch; University of Cape Town; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drug delivery; PEGylation; Rapamycin; Dexamethasone; Controlled release; Hydrogels; Slow release;

   Abstract : Hydrogels have successfully proved themselves useful for drug delivery applications and several delivery routes have been developed over the years. The particular interest in this work was to design, synthesise and evaluate in situ forming drug eluting hydrogels, which have the potential to ameliorate the healing of cardiovascular diseases.

4. 2. Microgel Interactions with Peptides and Proteins : Consequence of Peptide and Microgel Properties

   Author : Ronja Widenbring; Martin Malmsten; Per Hansson; Catherine Picart; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Binding; Degradation; Enzyme; Gel; Hydrogel; Microgel; Peptide; Protein; Release; Pharmaceutical Physical Chemistry; Farmaceutisk fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : Microgels are lightly cross-linked hydrogel particles in the sub-micrometer to micrometer size range with a capacity to drastically change their volume in response to changes in the external environment. Microgels have an ability to bind and store substances such as biomacromolecular drugs, notably proteins and peptides, and release them upon stimuli, making them potential candidates as drug delivery vehicles and functional biomaterials.

   Abstract : Polysaccharides represent an important resource for a variety of products, from food via fuel supply to functional materials of every kind. Here they are, due to their natural diversity found in many special applications, e.g. in the biomedical sector. READ MORE

6. 4. Hydrogels of Poly(vinyl alcohol) and Nanocellulose for Ophthalmic Applications : Synthesis, Characterization, Biocompatibility and Drug Delivery Studies

   Author : Gopi Krishna Tummala; Albert Mihranyan; Natalia Ferraz; Cecilia Persson; Jonas Lindh; Che Connon; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanocellulose; poly vinyl alcohol ; hydrogel; cornea regeneration; therapeutic lens; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material;

   Abstract : Hydrogels are commonly used materials in ophthalmic care as contact lenses, bandage lenses, corneal implants, and cornea regeneration scaffolds. Hydrogels can be produced by physical, chemical, or radiation crosslinking of hydrophilic polymers. READ MORE

7. 5. Structural design and properties of hydrogel biomaterials

   Author : Mikael Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polyacrylic acid; Mechanical properties; Microfibrillated cellulose; Drug release; Chitosan; Biomaterials; Swelling; Hydrogels;

   Abstract : Today a range of materials are used in medical applications; such materials are collectively denoted as biomaterials. A special class of biomaterials currently given much scientific interest is hydrogels. In particular a contemporary research topic is to create multicomponent materials in which synergetic effects are achieved. READ MORE
