The number-average diameter of the resultant poly(MA-CHVE-DVB) microspheres ranged from 0.478 to 1.386 μm with a polydispersity index of 1.00 to 1.02 that depended on the feed ratios of the MA/CHVE/DVB monomers. The introduction of one electron donor monomer cyclohexyl vinyl ether strongly affected the yield, size, and morphology of these slightly crosslinked microspheres. Quinoline- type chelating resins were obtained after combining the poly(MA-CHVE-DVB) with 8-hydroxyquinoline; the adsorption properties of these materials were measured through their ability to remove Cu^2+ ions from water. The poly(MA-CHVE-DVB) microspheres with low degrees of crosslinking provided more effective functional groups and therefore better ion removal capabilities. These slightly crosslinked microspheres may have applications in water treatment as well as in sensing and drug delivery.展开更多
Microparticles with diameter within the range of Dn = 26-38 μm were prepared from functional poly(ester- anhydride)s with different amount of allyl groups in the side chains, using emulsion solvent evaporation tech...Microparticles with diameter within the range of Dn = 26-38 μm were prepared from functional poly(ester- anhydride)s with different amount of allyl groups in the side chains, using emulsion solvent evaporation technique. Porous structure was obtained as the effect of photocrosslinking of aUyl groups. 2,2-Dimetoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPA) (0.5 wt%-10 wt%) was used as a photoinitiator. The crosslinking was carried out by UV irradiation during the solvent evaporation. Effectiveness of the crosslinking was characterized by the content of insoluble part of samples and it was in the range of 18%-75%. Porosity of microparticles (in the range of 76%-88%) depended on the functionality of poly(ester- anhydride)s and amount of the photoinitiator used. The most porous particles were obtained with use of 0.5 wt% of DMPA. Their flow ability expressed by Carr's index was excellent, and their theoretical mass mean aerodynamic diameters were acceptable for use in pulmonary drug delivery. The most porous particles were loaded with p-nitroaniline, theophilline or doxycycline. The loading efficiencies of drugs in porous microspheres were higher compared to nonporous ones. The porosity of loaded microparticles was slightly decreased, however their flow ability was still very good.展开更多
