Hydrogel macromers

The proper choice of hydrogel macromers can produce membranes with a range of permeability, pore sizes and degradation rates suitable for a variety of applications in surgery, medical diagnosis and treatment. Dispersion systems used for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations can be categorized as either suspensions or emulsions. [Pg.225]

In their further studies on chitosan for biomedical applications, Lee et al. [133] reported a procedure for preparing semi-IPN polymer network hydrogels composed of (3-chitosan and PEG diacrylate macromer, by following a similar procedure to that discussed above. The crystallinity as well as thermal and mechanical properties of gels were reported [133]. Reports on the drug release behavior of the gels are not available. [Pg.68]

Sawhney and co-workers prepared a series of PEC-co-poly(a-hydroxy acid) diacrylate macromers and investigated their photopolymerization into crosslinked bioerodible hydrogels. Certain types of these hydrogels were evaluated for use in preventing postsurgical adhesion and vascular restenosis. ... [Pg.53]
