Application Properties of Stimuli-Responsive Polyglycerol Hydrogels

Transient state swelling behavior and swelling kinetics of novel stimuli-responsive polyglycerol hydrogels were studied at 293, 310 and 333 K. Depending on temperature, Fickian or anomalous diffusion behavior was observed. Mechanical properties of the hydrogels in the swollen and dry states were investigated and the average molecular weight between crosslinks was calculated. To assess the potential for biodegradation of hydrogels, initial swelling behavior in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution and mass loss profiles as a function of degradation time were investigated over a period of 30 days. All swelling behavior, mechanical properties and degradations were clearly affected by the degree of cross-linking. The hydrophilicity and biodegradability of polyglycerol hydrogels make them suitable for pharmaceutical, biomedical and biotechnological applications. They could potentially serve as a substitute for common fossil-based hydrogels such as poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels.     

Surface Properties and Solubility of Simvastatin in the Micelles of Polyglycerol Diisostearate Ethoxylates

A series of polyglycerol diisostearate ethoxylates with two hydrophobic chains were prepared by the reaction of polyglycerol diisostearate with ethylene oxide. Surface properties including water solubility, cloud temperature, critical micelle concentration, emulsification, and the solubilizing capacity of polyglycerol diisostearate ethoxylates for simvastatin were investigated in comparison with those of Tween‐80. The critical micelle concentrations of all polyglycerol diisostearate ethoxylates are less than 0.01 mmol l^?1, which is one order of magnitude lower than that of Tween‐80. Polyglycerol diisostearate ethoxylates show better emulsification than Tween‐80. For enhancing the solubility of simvastatin in micelles, polyglycerol diisostearate ethoxylates also are superior to Tween‐80.

Synthesis and Properties of PGS-Li Scaffold

Lithium ion-doped polyglycerol sebacate scaffold(PGS)-Li was synthesized by adding lithium ions to polyglycerol sebacate(PGS) during its crosslinking process due to the specific effects of lithium ions on periodontal ligament cells, cementoblasts and the eminent performance of PGS. The molecular mass, composition, structure, porosity, thermal properties, and hydrophilicity of the composite were characterized by gel permeation chromatography(GPC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer(ICP-OES), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA) and contact angle measurments, and the degradation of the material was evaluated by in vitro degradation experiments. The biological activity of PGS-Li scaffold was detected by calcein-AM staining and cytotoxicity test. The results indicate that PGS-Li scaffold has been successfully synthesized, which has similar composition and structure to PGS, but slightly larger molecular weight. In addition, the porosity and pore size of PGS-Li scaffold ba-sically meet the requirements of engineering scaffold materials and the seaffold shows better performance in terms of hydrophilicity and thermal stability than PGS. In vitro degradation experimental results show that the degradation rate of PGS-Li scaffold is higher than that of PGS. What's more, the results of cytotoxicity test and cell staining show that there is no significant difference in the proliferation and cell morphology of cementoblasts.     

Effect of chain length distribution on the phase behavior of polyglycerol fatty acid ester in water

The effect of the chain length distribution on the phase behavior, the structure of liquid crystals, and physicochemical properties was investigated in water/ polyglycerol fatty acid ester. Polyglycerol fatty acid esters with sharply distributed polyglycerol (10G*0.7L) and with broadly distributed polyglycerol (10G0.7L) were used. Unreacted polyglycerol in both surfactants was removed. 10G*0.7L forms hexagonal liquid crystals at a higher concentration than 10G0.7L. The effective cross-sectional area of the lipophilic parts in the hexagonal phase of 10G0.7L is smaller than that of 10G*0.7L owing to the difference in the chain length distribution. Evidently, 10G0.7L molecules are tightly packed in aggregates; therefore, 10G0.7L decreased the surface tension more strongly and promoted emulsification.

A covalent capillary coating of diazoresin and polyglycerol dendrimer for protein analysis using capillary electrophoresis

Overcoming proteins adsorption on the inner surface of capillary has attracted increasing attention recently. By using the unique photochemistry reaction of diazoresin (DR), a new covalent capillary coating was prepared on the fused‐silica capillary through layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly of DR with polyglycerol (PG) dendrimer. The separation performance of covalently DR/PG‐dendrimer coated capillary noticeably exceeded the bare capillary and the noncovalently linked DR/PG‐dendrimer capillary. A baseline separation of lysozyme, myoglobin, bovine serum albumin, and ribonuclease A was achieved using CE within 20 min. Besides, the covalently linked DR/PG‐dendrimer coating has the remarkable stability and reproducibility. Especially, compared with the traditional method which use highly toxic and moisture‐sensitive silane coupling agent, this method seems to be a simple and environmental friendly way to prepare the covalently coated capillaries for CE.

Effect of free hydroxy groups in the separation of polyglycerol esters by capillary supercritical fluid chromatography

Separations of polyglycerol esters containing 3–5 hydroxyl groups and of their silyl derivatives are demonstrated on DB-1 and DB-17 columns. Useful chromatograms are produced in every case. However, the chromatograms are improved on derivatization. The extent of improvement realized increases with the number of free hydroxyl groups per molecule.
