  • Biodegradable hydrogels based on glycidyl methacrylate dextran (CMD) and dimethacrylate poly(ethylene glycol) (DMP) were proposed for colon-specific drug delivery. GMD was synthesized by coupling of glycidyl methacylate with dextran in the presence of 4-(N, N-dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) using dimethylsulfoxide as a solvent. Methacrylate-terminated poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) macromer was prepared by the reaction of PEG with methacryloyl chloride. CMD/DMP hydrogels were prepared by radical polymerization of phosphate buffer solution (0.1 M, pH 7.4) of GMD and DMP using ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) and UV as initiating system. The synthetic GMD, DMP and GMD/DMP hydrogels were characterized by fourier transform infrared (FT-lR) spectroscopy. The FITC-albumin loaded hydrogels were prepared by adding FITC-albumin solution before UV irradiation. Swelling capacity of GMD/DMP hydrogels was controlled not only by molecular weight of dextran, but also by incorporation ratio of DMP Degradation of the hydrogels has been studied in vitro with dextranase. FITC-albumin release from the GMD/DMP hydrogels was affected by molecular weight of nextran and the presence of dextranase in the release medium.

  • Polyelectrolyte complex films were prepared with two compounds, chitosan and poly(ethylene glycol)-monosuccinate, using a casting in order to synthesize a polyelectrolyte complex film with various mole ratios of chitosan and poly(ethylene glycol)-monosuccinate. The solution properties of isolated PEC were investigated for the effects of FTIR, pH value, Brookfield viscosity and cell viability assay using MTT staining. The PEC films were evaluated for mechanical properties by typical stress-strain curve, far thermal properties by DSC and TGA and for surface morphology Properties by SEM. Furthermore, the surface resistance, moisture regain and water content of the films were characterized. The solution properties were affected by several factors including the chitosan content in the PEC, the mixing ratio of PEG and chitosan, and pH. Several PEC in acidic conditions exhibited film formation under appropriate conditions of mixing ratio and chitosan concentration in the mixing process. These PEC films were found to have sufficiently flexible and stable properties due to their hydrophilic structure, which was farmed by the oppositely charged interaction between PEG-MS and chitosan matrix. The results showed the potential applicability of chitosan and poly(ethylene glycol)-monosuccinate films as a biocompatible polymer.

  • Kenaf fibers have excellent properties and possess the potential to be outstanding reinforcing fillers in cement. The grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) to the kenaf fibers is important in improving the compatibility between the fibers and the cement. PEGMA was grafted onto kenaf fibers using gamma-ray radiation. The radiation dose ranged from 20 to 60 kGy, and the dose rate was $10kGy\;h^{-1}$. The degree of grafting increased with increased radiation doses. FT-IR analysis revealed an increase in PEGMA content after gamma-ray radiation induced grafting, further evincing the attachment of PEGMA to the kenaf fibers. The mechanical properties of the gamma-ray grafted kenaf fiber/cement composites were superior to those of the ungrafted kenaf fiber/cement specimens.

  • Solubility data of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether (PEGDME) are presented at pressures up to about 50 bar and at temperatures between 303 K and 343 K. The solubilities of $CO_2$ were determined by measuring the bubble point pressures of the $CO_2+PEGDME$ mixtures with various compositions using a high-pressure equilibrium apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell. To observe the effect of the PEGDME molecular weight on the $CO_2$ solubility, the $CO_2$ solubilities in PEGDME with two kinds of molecular weight were compared. As the equilibrium pressure increased, the $CO_2$ solubility in PEGDME increased. On the other hand, the $CO_2$ solubility decreased with increasing temperature. When compared at the same temperature and pressure, the PEGDME with a higher molecular weight gave smaller $CO_2$ solubility on a mass fraction and molality basis, but gave greater $CO_2$ solubilities on a mole fraction basis.

  • PEG(poly(ethylene glycol)) acrylate/PPG(poly(propylene glycol)) acrylate (PEG/PPG) was prepared using UV induced photopolymerization method to investigate gas permeation properties of the membrane. The effect of PPG content on the solubility, diffusivity, and permeability of $CO_2$, $O_2$, and $N_2$ in PEG/PPG membrane is reported at $25^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$. PEG/PPG (9:1) membrane exhibits $CO_2$ permeability coefficient of 28.9 barrer and $CO_2$/$N_2$ pure gas selectivity of 57.9 at $25^{\circ}C$. Permeability coefficient of increased with increasing with PPG content in the membrane. PEG/PPG (5:5) membrane shows $CO_2$ permeability coefficient of 78.9 barrer and $CO_2$/$N_2$ pure gas selectivity of 33.2 at $25^{\circ}C$.

  • The crystallization behaviours of poly(ethylene terephthalate) modified by 1, 3-propane diol, 1, 5-pentane diol, 1, 6-hexane diol, or poly(ethylene glycol) of molecular weight 300 as a third component were studied by isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization. When the content of the third diol was about 4 mol %, the isothermal crystallization rate at the same supercooling below the melting temperature and the nonisothermal crystallization rate at the same overheating above the glass transition temperature were increased more by the shorter flexible diol unit. On the contrary the nonisothermal crystallization rate at the same supercooling below the melting temperature was increased more by the longer flexible diol unit.

  • The aim of this study is to prepare biodegradable microspheres without the use of surfactants or emulsifiers for a novel sustained delivery carriers of protein drugs. A poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone)/poly(ethylene glycol)/poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (CEC) triblock copolymer was synthesized by the ring-opening of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone with dihydroxy poly (ethylene glycol) to prepare surfactant-free microspheres. When dichloromethane (DCM) or ethyl formate (EF) was used as a solvent, the formation of microspheres did not occur. Although the microspheres could be formed prior to lyophilization under certain conditions, the morphology of microspheres was not maintained during the filtration and lyophilization process. Surfactant-free microspheres were only formed when ethyl acetate (EA) was used as the organic solvent and showed good spherical micro-spheres although the surfaces appeared irregular. The content of the protein in the micro-sphere was lower than expected, probably because of the presence of water channels and pores. The protein release kinetics showed a burst release until 2 days and after that sustained release pattern was showed. Therefore, these observations indicated that the formation of microsphere without the use of surfactant is feasible, and, this the improved process, the protein is readily incorporated in the microsphere.

  • Cross-linked polystyrene (PS) particles with carboxyl and/or poly(ethylene glycol) units on surface were formed by an emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization using styrene, methacrylic acid (MA), and poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEG-diMMA) at pH 7, and followed by freeze-drying to give the corresponding powders. Monodisperse polymer particles could be obtained at a concentration of PEG-diMMA 1 mol% relative to styrene. Zeta potential of polymer surface was measured to be 91 mV at a polymer of PEG-diMMA 1 mol% and was dropped as the content of MA increased.
