AbstractThe review presents exhaustive information for the last 5 years on the trends and methods of research, development, and application of enantioselective voltammetric sensors on the basis of new chiral materials for the recognition of enantiomers of biologically active and medicinal compounds. Enantioselective sensors on the basis of chiral C...

Cancer remains one of the world’s most devastating diseases and is responsible for more than 20% of all deaths. It is defined as uncontrolled proliferation of cells and spreads rapidly to healthy tissue. Controlled drug delivery systems offers great opportunities for the development of new non-invasive strategies for the treatment of cancers. The m...

Stimuli-responsive, “smart” polymeric materials used in the biomedical field function in a bio-mimicking manner by providing a non-linear response to triggers coming from a physiological microenvironment or other external source. They are built based on various chemical, physical, and biological tools that enable pH and/or temperature-stimulated ch...

This study compared two resin composites with similar filler systems and different matrix compositions. The depth of cure (DoC), polymerization shrinkage, and marginal leakage were evaluated. A Filtek Bulk Fill resin composite (FB) and a Filtek Supreme resin composite (FS) were used. For the DoC and polymerization shrinkage, cylindrical specimens w...
In the frame of green-based chemistry, advanced shape memory polymers are designed from benzoxazine (RSBOX) and epoxy (R-EP) resins basing on potential natural raw materials, such as resorcinol and stearylamine. Thermal curing, investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, shows several overlapping peaks suggesting a complex curing mechanism. ...

Polyurethanes are of undoubted interest for the scientific community and the industry. Their outstanding versatility from tailor-made structures turns them into major polymers for use in a wide range of different applications. As with other polymers, new, emerging molecules and monomers with specific attributes can provide new functions and capabil...
Benzoksazinske in epoksidne smole spadajo v razred duromerov in imajo odlične mehanske, termične in kemijske lastnosti. Široko področje uporabe le teh smol se poveča z inkorporacijo teh dveh smol v en skupen polimer. Polimerni kompozit izkazuje izboljšane termične in mehanske lastnosti, hkrati pa izkaže tudi unikatne lastnosti na področju polimerov...

PurposeAlzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder, and most common form of dementia afflicting over 35 million people worldwide. Rivastigmine is a widely used therapeutic for ameliorating clinical manifestations of Alzheimer’s disease. However, current treatments require frequent dosing either orally or via transdermal patch that lead to c...

In this study, we synthesized a random poly[( N -isopropylacrylamide)- co -(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate)- co -( N -methylolacrylamide)] [poly(NIPAAm- co -HEMA- co -NMA)] copolymer through free-radical polymerization. The NIPAAm, HEMA and NMA moieties were framed to provide thermoresponsiveness, water absorption and retention control, and chemical cr...
