Boronic acid-containing hydrogels applications

Ehnas had detailed a temperature-sensitive copolymer, which contained boronic acid units its interaction with ARS and loss of flnorescence upon exposure to a series of analytes was discnssed. " However, boronic acid containing hydrogels that had been developed for electrophoresis applications (discnssed later) were reasoned to be snit-able in the stationary phase for a similar supported system. Thus, this platform allows a dye displacement assay to be performed. " ... 

Boronic Acid-Containing Hydrogels Synthesis and Their Applications... 

The glucose-sensitivity and other interesting properties of boronic acid-containing hydrogels lead to various applications, such as glucose sensing, self-regulated insulin release, and so on. 

Another important application of boronic acid-containing hydrogel is for drug release. The porous structure of hydrogels allows for loading of drugs into the gel matrix. In addition, their stimuli-responsivity allows for fine control over the drug release rate. 

Boronic acid-containing gels have recently been shown to have potential application in HIV-1 prevention. As mentioned above, the hydrogels developed by Kiser et al, which are interpolymer complexes of a SHA-bearing polymer and a PBA-bearing polymer based on PBA-diol interaction, exhibit... 

Hydrogels could be prepared that contained ortho, meta, and para boronic acids, although solubility allowed up to about 3% reliable incorporation, but this was sufficient to obtain excellent results in electrophoresis. For the majority of investigations, the meta derivative was preferred due to its overall higher synthetic yield, in comparison to the para derivative, in which no differences were observed in terms of electrophoresis applications however, the ortho...
