Amphiphilic single and double networks: a small-angle X-ray scattering investigation
(2016)We investigated the microphase-separated morphologies of water-swollen amphiphilic single and double polymer networks using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The networks consist of (i) a first conetwork containing ...

Cationic homopolymer model networks and star polymers: Synthesis by group transfer polymerization and characterization of the aqueous degree of swelling
(2000)A series of hydrophilic model networks based on homopolymers of a weak base were prepared using group transfer polymerization (GTP) and characterized in terms of their aqueous degree of swelling as a function of pH. This ...

Heterogeneity in nanocomposite hydrogels from poly(ethylene oxide) cross-linked with silicate nanoparticles
(2009)We investigate the influence of ionic strength on the structural heterogeneity and viscoelastic properties of nanocomposite hydrogels. We use small-angle scattering and rheology to monitor structural changes as a function ...

Randomly cross-linked homopolymer networks: Synthesis by group transfer polymerization in solution and characterization of the aqueous degree of swelling
(2001)Randomly cross-linked homopolymer networks of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) of various average degrees of polymerization (DPs) between cross-links were synthesized by group transfer polymerization (GTP) in ...

Structural effects of crosslinking a biopolymer hydrogel derived from marine mussel adhesive protein
(2006)In an effort to explore new biocompatible substrates for biomedical technologies, we present a structural study on a crosslinked gelatinous protein extracted from marine mussels. Prior studies have shown the importance of ...
