## Abstract Sol–gel transition temperature‐controllable Pluronic F127/F68 mixtures including mildly crosslinked alginate and nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (ibuprofen) were prepared to evaluate their potential as tissue adhesion barrier gels. The sol–gel transition temperatures of the Pluronic
## Abstract Adhesion of bacteria to biomaterials and the ability of many microorganisms to form biofilms on foreign bodies are well‐established as major contributors to the pathogenesis of implant‐associated infections. Treatment of bone infection remains problematic, due to the difficulty of syste
The present study was conducted to investigate the use of hydrodynamic flow focusing for the generation of biodegradable polymer microspheres encapsulating the anticancer drug camptothecin. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and poly (L-lactide) (PLA) were used as the matrix materials. Camptothec
