    摘要: The present invention provides high mechanical strength amphiphilic polymer networks and implantable biological devices that are capable of encasing and, thus, immunoisolating biological material from the immunological response of a host individual. The present invention also provides methods for the formation of the amphiphilic networks and implantable biological devices. The present invention also provides a method for the treatment of type I diabetes mellitus comprising the steps of encasing a sufficient amount of islet of Langerhans cells within said biological device, wherein said biological device is capable of immunoisolating said encased islet cells upon implantation into an individual; implanting said biological device into a diabetic host individual; allowing said implanted biological device to remain implanted said diabetic individual for a time sufficient to normalize the blood glucose level in said diabetic individual.

    摘要: The present invention relates to compositions of matter comprising a trifunctional aromatic core, said core having three arms radiating therefrom, wherein each of said arms is a diblock copolymer comprising an inner segment of polyisobutylene connected to a outer polymer segment obtained by a living radical polymerization process. The present invention also provides a process of preparing a composition of matter comprising the steps of: providing a trifunctional aromatic initiator core; reacting the trifunctional aromatic core with isobutylene to form a macroinitiator, said macroinitiator comprising polyisobutylene functionalized at the terminus of each said arm; conducting site transformation at the terminus of each arm to introduce a group capable of initiating living radical polymerization of outer segments at the terminus of each arm; performing living radical polymerization to form the outer polymer segments to produce a three arm star composition of matter having three diblock copolymer arms.
