Biodegradable polymers are extensively used in medical device industry for the controlled
delivery of pharmaceutical agent to the targeted region. Successful performance of any …

The principle subject in the current paper is to summarize and characterize the ionomers
based on polymers and copolymers such as polystyrene (PSt), polyisoprene (PIP) …

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy was adopted to study the hydrolytic degradation of films of
aliphatic polyesters in alkaline environment. A measurable increase with the time of …

A series of poly (butylene succinate)/silica (PBS/silica) nanocomposites were prepared by in
situ polymerization. Solid-state 29Si NMR and FTIR analysis indicated that silanol-bonded …

Ionomers are amphiphilic polymers wherein a modest concentration of acid or ionic groups
bonded to a low dielectric constant polymer produce substantial changes in the physical and …

A series of poly (butylene succinate) ionomers (PBSi) containing 5-sodium sulfoisophthalate
units were prepared by bulk polymerization of succinic acid and 1, 4-butanediol in the …

This work reports the first successful synthesis of polycaprolactone (PCL)-based degradable
ionomers using free-radical chemistry. Degradable cationic ionomers were synthesized by …

A novel methodology used to overcome the predominance of π–π interactions on the
organization of rod–coil copolymer is reported in this paper. We demonstrated changes in …

A series of polyester‐based ionomers containing dimethyl 5‐sulfoisophthalate sodium salt
(DMSI) with up to 5 mol‐% diacid units was synthesized by two‐step polycondensation …

To evaluate the potential of polyester‐based ionomers as biomaterials, we have
characterized them in terms of crystallization behavior, degradation, and in‐vitro cellular …
