Surface modified polymers for controlled macroscopic functions by Chng, S

“…A library of polymers with variation in end group, and with expansion of substrate scope, was characterised in detail for chemical and macroscopic properties. In particular, drug delivery properties were investigated using hole-plate bioassays and HPLC-MS methods, and it was found that the antibiotic, Penicillin V, was still active after being loaded onto the polymer scaffolds, with surface modified polymers binding and releasing more drug than the corresponding controls. …”
