Biodegradable and Biocompatible Bioactive-based Polymers - Versatile Platform Technology

Invention Summary: The Uhrich group has developed various biodegradable polymers that chemically incorporate bioactive molecules, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., salicylic acid), antioxidants (e.g., ferulic acid) and antimicrobials (e.g., carvacrol). Bioactive molecules are incorporated into polymer backbones through labile linkages,...

Versatile Biodegradable, Bioactive-Based Polymers for Topical, Cosmetic and Personal Care Applications

A. Structure of salicylic acid-based polymer and its degradation products. B. Polymer degradation rates with different linker molecules. C. Free ferulic acid in aqueous solution is unstable and turns brown after 10 days (left). Ferulic acid-based polymers are stable and aesthetically more pleasing in solution under the same condition (right). Invention...
