摘要:
A thiol-yne polymeric material and methods for producing said polymers are disclosed. The material is produced by the radically mediated polymerization of monomers having alkyne and thiol functional groups. The alkyne moiety, internal or terminal, may react with one or two thiols. Degradable monomers may be used to form degradable polymers.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for making polymeric layers. A layer of liquid (20) including a photopolymerizable precursor is formed between a substrate (17) and a photomask (12). A reaction chamber is formed by a base (15), side walls (16) and photomask (12) polymerizes one or more regions of the liquid layer (20) to form a polymeric layer.

摘要:
Methods of forming crosslinked polymer particles in situ from polymer precursors such as monomers or oligomers, comprising exposing a composition comprising at least one polymer precursor, a solvent or solvent mixture, and an antisolvent or antisolvent mixture to photoradiation under conditions whereby particles are formed are provided. The polymer precursor may be photosensitive, or a separate polymerization initiator may be used. In a preferred embodiment, the polymer precursor is insoluble in the antisolvent or antisolvent mixture and the solvent or solvent mixture is soluble in the antisolvent or antisolvent mixture at the concentrations used. Crosslinked polymer particles and crosslinked polymer particles comprising a polymer and a bioactive material are also provided. The polymer may be erodable, and the polymer particles formed may be used in a variety of applications, including controlled release of bioactive materials such as drugs. Polymer particles formed using the methods of the invention have low residual solvent levels and high additive encapsulation efficiencies. The processes of the invention allow control of particle size and morphology, use low operating temperatures and are useful for efficient bulk production.
