Application

Can be polymerized in solution or emulsion to produce acrylic, vinyl-acrylic, or styrenic-acrylic polymers with greater flexibility due to lower glass transition of itshomopolymer (<30C) and improved adhesion.

Features and Benefits

More reactive in its salt form than acylic acid, allowing high levels of incorporation over awide pH range. Also see Poly(2-carboxyethyl) acrylate, 407585.

We developed and characterized a novel in situ chitosan-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) hydrogel via two steps: 2-carboxyethyl acrylate molecules were grafted to the primary amine functional groups in chitosan in the first step and then Michael type addition reaction was processed

Local mechanical stiffness influences cell behavior, and thus cell culture scaffolds should approximate the stiffness of the tissue type from which the cells are derived. In synthetic hydrogels, this has been difficult to achieve for very soft tissues such as

The impact of physical and chemical modifications of nanoparticles on their biological function has been systemically investigated and exploited to improve their circulation and targeting. However, the impact of nanoparticles' flexibility (i.e., elastic modulus) on their function has been explored

Here we introduce a modified peptide-decorated polymeric nanoparticle (NP) for cancer cell targeting, which can deliver drugs, such as doxorubicin (Dox), to several kinds of cancer cells. Specifically, we employ a nucleolin-targeting NP, with a matrix based on a copolymer
