Assessing mucoadhesion in polymer gels : The effect of method type and instrument variables
da Silva, Jéssica Bassi; Ferreira, Sabrina Barbosa de Souza; Reis, Adriano Valim; Cook, Michael Thomas; Bruschi, Marcos Luciano (2018-03-01)The process of mucoadhesion has been widely studied using a wide variety of methods, which are influenced by instrumental variables and experiment design, making the comparison between the results of different studies ... -
The effect of erythrosine-B on the structuration of poloxamer 407 and cellulose derivative blends: in silico modelling supporting experimental studies
da Silva, Jéssica Bassi; da Silva Souza Campanholi, Katieli; Braga, Gustavo; de Souza, Paulo Ricardo; Caetano, Wilker; Cook, Michael T.; Bruschi, Marcos Luciano (2021-11-30)Erythrosine is a dye approved for medical use that has shown promising photodynamic activity, allowing for the inactivation of microorganisms and activity against malignant cells. Despite the great photodynamic potential, ... -
Interaction between mucoadhesive cellulose derivatives and Pluronic F127: investigation on the micelle structure and mucoadhesive performance
Cook, Michael T.; da Silva, Jéssica Bassi; Bruschi, Marcos Luciano (2020-10-17)Systems composed of bioadhesive and thermoresponsive polymers can combine in situ gelation with bio/mucoadhesion, enhancing retention of topically applied drugs. The effect of bioadhesive sodium carboxymethylcellulose ... -
Thermoresponsive poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-ran-(polyethylene glycol methacrylate) graft copolymers exhibiting temperature-dependent rheology and self-assembly
da Silva, Jéssica Bassi; Haddow, Peter; Bruschi, Marcos Luciano; Cook, Michael T. (2022-01-15)Graft copolymers with brush-type architectures are explored containing poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylates copolymerized with “thermoresponsive” monomers which impart lower critical solution temperatures to the polymer. ... -
Thermoresponsive systems composed of poloxamer 407 and HPMC or NaCMC: mechanical, rheological and sol-gel transition analysis
da Silva, Jéssica Bassi; Cook, Michael T.; Bruschi, Marcos Luciano (2020-04-15)Poloxamer 407 (polox407) is widely studied as thermogelling polymer, transitioning to a gel state when warmed Polox407 forms weak hydrogels with rapid dissolution in excess solvent. This study reports the development of ...
