Preparation of ion group functionalized diblock copolymers and examination of their thermogelling properties

, , , , , , , , , , , ,
To investigate thermogelling behavior, in this study, methoxy polyethylene glycol-b-[poly(ε-caprolactone)-ran-poly(6-chloride-ε-caprolactone) (PCL-ran-PfCL)] (PCL-Cl) diblock copolymers were designed such that the PfCL content in the PCL segment was varied. The PCL-Cl diblock copolymers were derivatized by introducing [...]

Nanoscale structure and property changes in collagen fibrils on the extracorporeal shockwave therapy applications of the rat Achilles tendon injury

, , , , , , , , , , ,
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is popular in the treatment of musculo-skeletal injuries. However, the mechanism by which such therapy might have an effect on tendon injury is unknown. The Achilles tendons are mainly composed of [...]
