Lecture 9: Polyelectrolyte Hydrogels Last Day: Physical hydrogels Structure and chemistry Toda polyelectrolyte hydrogels, complexes, and coacervates rolyte multilayer theory of swelling in ionic hydrogels Reading S.K. De et aL., 'Equilibrium swelling and kinetics of pH-responsive hydrogels: Models experiments, and simulations
Lecture 6: Biodegradable Polymers for Tissue Engineering Last time: enzymatic degradation of solid polymers Engineering biological recognition of polymers Toda Designing polymers for tissue engineering Reading
Lecture 7: Hydrogel Biomaterials: Structure and Physical Chemistry Last Day: programmed/regulated/multifactor controlled release for drug delivery and tissue engineering
Example: HIV-1 DNA vaccine delivered with boosters to elevate Ab titers2: Mechanical and electrical devices that can provide digitized release typically require larger devices and surgical implantation(e.g. Pharm. Res. 1, 237(1984); also have high cost
