The aim of this study was to investigate the swelling properties and the biocompatibility of a novel tissue expander material. The self-inflating material is a hydrogel consisting of a modified copolymer of methylmethacrylate and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, which takes up water by osmosis. To increase th

An improved, simple, and efficient method for the synthesis of lactosecontaining monomer acrylamidolactamine (LAM) has been reported. Free radical copolymerization of this monomer with N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) in the presence of the crosslinking reagent N,NΠ-methylenebisacrylamide (BisA) (1.2 m
## Abstract There is a clinical requirement for a local hemostat that arrests bleeding from both suture holes and crossβsectional surfaces of parenchymatous organs. A novel tissueβadhesive hydrogel was prepared that contains a crossβlinkable polymeric micelle consisting of poly(ethylene glycol)βpol
