Polypropylene (PP): PP is a semicrystalline polymer composed of propylene monomers and the second most produced thermoplastic in the world behind polyethylene. PP is a widely used material in FFF 3D printing. It is also one of the most used polymers in medical devices, frequently seen in suture...
The polymer micelle medicine carrier is composed of amphiphilic block polymer and amino acid. The amphiphilic block polymer is diblock polymer or triblock polymer and preferably is mPEG-PDLLA. The amino acid is chosen from 20 common amino acids. The weight ratio of amphiphilic polymer to amino ...

wherein the bioabsorbable polymer is selected from the group consisting of poly(lactide), poly(glycolide), poly(dioxanone), poly(ε-caprolactone), poly(hydroxybutyrate), poly(β-hydroxybutyrate), poly(hydroxyvalerate), poly(tetramethylene carbonate), poly(amino acids) and copolymers and terpolymers ...
Dr. Choi and his team discussed short chains of amino acids, or peptides as another form of targeting ligands due to their smaller size and ease of modification. These can be chosen for their ability to bind to receptors that are overexpressed on the surface of certain types of diseased cel...
Glatiramer acetate is a random copolymer composed of the four amino acid repeat units; Glu, Tyr, Lys, and Ala, and has a molecular mass of between 4.7 and 11 kDa. The NCA derivatives of the (protected) amino acids undergo ROP to yield a protected polymer that then undergoes conventional ...
A chain of amino acids that are held together by peptide bonds is called a polypeptide. Protein is one of the examples of a biopolymer that is made up from one or more polypeptide molecules. Another main class of biopolymer is polysaccharides. A polysaccharide is a polymeric carbohydrate ...
Poly(amino acids) (1) Collagen Collagen is a macromolecule comprising three intertwined polypeptide chains. It is widely present in the organic matter and connective tissue of articular cartilage, tendons, and bone, accounting for ~ 30% of the total animal protein [63]. It exhibits unique physic...
