Application

  • Poly(acrylic acid) Hydrogel for Mucoadhesives: This study focuses on the radiation crosslinking of poly(acrylic acid) to create a bioadhesive hydrogel, which can be crucial for drug delivery applications, especially in mucoadhesive drug delivery systems (YC Nho, JS Park, YM Lim, 2014).
  • Hydrogel for Dye Removal: Development of a poly(acrylic acid) based hydrogel with fast adsorption rates and high capacity for removing cationic dyes, relevant for environmental cleanup and potentially for purifying biological fluids in pharmaceutical processes (Z Yuan, J Wang, Y Wang, Q Liu, Y Zhong, Y Wang, 2019).
  • Composite Hydrogels for Swelling Properties: Investigation into poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) composite hydrogels, studying their swelling properties which are essential for understanding the behavior of hydrogels used in drug delivery systems and tissue engineering (WM Cheng, XM Hu, YY Zhao, MY Wu, ZX Hu, XT Yu, 2017).

Magnetic-plasmonic nanoparticles offer the combined benefits of both a magnetic probe as well as additional imaging modes usually associated with noble metal nanoparticles. Professor Shinya Maenosono (Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) explores the synthesis, characterization, and proof-of-concept application of Ag/FeCo/Ag core/shell/shell magnetic-plasmonic nanobeads for imaging and isolation of cellular organelles (autophagosomes of COS-1 cells).

Layer-by-Layer (LbL) Assembly, A "Gentle Yet Flexible" Method Toward Functional Biomaterials

We present an article that discusses two applications in particular; first, using these layers as polyelectrolyte membranes to control permeability.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
