The administration of drugs, as a main challenge of pharmaceutical and medicinal
applications, has certainly benefited from the application of synthetic polymers. However …

Nonspecific protein adsorption and/or microbial adsorption on biomedical materials
adversely affects the efficacy of a range of biomedical systems, from implants and …

Polymeric micelles (PM) are extensively used to improve the delivery of hydrophobic drugs.
Many different PM have been designed and evaluated over the years, and some of them …

Zwitterionic polymers are generally viewed as a new class of nonfouling materials. Unlike
their poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) counterparts, zwitterionic polymers have a broader …

Despite being the gold standard of hydrophilic biomaterials and well known sensitivity of
polyethylene glycol (PEG) against oxidative degradation, very little information on the …

Bioinspired polymeric materials are attracting increasing attention due to significant
advantages over their natural counterparts: the ability to precisely tune their structures over a …

In most general terms, polymers and their supramolecular assemblies have been defining
life on this planet since its conception. Polymers of nucleic acids carry the code of life and …

Although the first polysarcosine (pSar) synthesis by Wesseley et al. was reported almost a
century ago, it was only recently that pSar gained broader attention and is considered a …

Polymer sequence programmability is required for the diverse structures and complex
properties that are achieved by native biological polymers, but efforts towards controlling the …

Solution self-assembly of coil-crystalline diblock copolypeptoids has attracted increasing
attention due to its capability to form hierarchical nanostructures with tailorable …
