Ionizing radiation has become the most effective way to modify natural and synthetic
polymers through crosslinking, degradation, and graft polymerization. This review will …

The research of radiation effects on drugs over the past 60 years has mainly dealt with
radiation sterilization of individual active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in the form of …

The potential of a radiation crosslinking technique for developing gelatin scaffolds for tissue
engineering was evaluated by comparing it with a chemical crosslinking method. Radiation …

The water equivalence and stable relative energy response of polymer gel dosimeters are
usually taken for granted in the relatively high x-ray energy range of external beam …

Nanogels of poly (acrylic acid) have been synthesized using a new method, based on
intramolecular cross-linking of linear macromolecules in aqueous solution, induced by short …

PURPOSE: In view of the need for dose-validation procedures on each individual intensity-
modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plan, dose-verification measurements by film, by …

Thermo-sensitive polymers are appealing materials for several therapeutic applications,
such as in regenerative medicine and in situ drug release. These macromolecules are …

A novel method of covalent crosslinking between polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and poly
(acrylic acid)(PAA) resulting in hydrogels has been developed. The hydrogels were formed …

The new polymer gel dosimeter, based on the modification of the VIPAR gel composition, is
described for the purpose of radiation dose distribution measurement in radiotherapy. It …

Acrylamide based hydrogel particles with variable charge were synthesized in different sizes
using a biocompatible surfactant. We use microemulsion polymerization to synthesize the …
