## Abstract Conventional polyurethane prepolymers have been shown to adhere to living biological tissues. However, their setting is not sufficiently expedient to permit convenient applications __in vivo__. A prepolymer prepared from the highly reactive 6‐chloro‐2,4,5‐trifluoro‐1,3‐phenylene diisocy
## Abstract We prepared a novel tissue‐adhesive hydrogel by using a polymeric micelle consisting of an aldehyde‐terminated poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(D,L‐lactide) (PEG–PLA) block polymer. A Schiff base is chemically formed between the amino groups in a polyallylamine and the aldehyde groups on the
## Abstract Previous work in this series has shown that some aromatic and __n__‐alkyl isocynates can significantly improve the adhesion of a fast‐setting polyurethane prepolymer to internal tissue. In the present study, several acyl or aroyl anhydrides, chlorides, and a triaryl chloroalkane have be
Many studies are currently underway on the quest to make synthetic bone-like materials with composites of polymeric materials and hydroxyapatite (HA). In the present work, we use wetting experiments and surface tension measurements to determine the work of adhesion between biodegradable polymers and
