Journal Article
Taresco, V., Suksiriworapong, J., Styliari, I. D., Argent, R. H., Swainson, S. M., Booth, J., …Garnett, M. C. (in press). New N-acyl amino acid-functionalized biodegradable polyesters for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. RSC Advances, 6(111), 109401-109405. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6RA21464A

A novel class of biodegradable polyesters has been generated by coupling poly(glycerol adipate) with N-acyl aromatic amino acids. This new set of polymers from this highly versatile polymeric platform may offer unprecedented new opportunities to prod...

Properties of acyl modified poly(glycerol-adipate) comb-like polymers and their self-assembly into nanoparticles (2016)
Journal Article
Taresco, V., Suksiriworapong, J., Creasey, R., Burley, J. C., Mantovani, G., Alexander, C., & Garnett, M. (2016). Properties of acyl modified poly(glycerol-adipate) comb-like polymers and their self-assembly into nanoparticles. Journal of Polymer Science Part A: Polymer Chemistry, 54(20), 3267-3278. https://doi.org/10.1002/pola.28215

There is an increasing need to develop bio-compatible polymers with an increased range of different physicochemical properties. Poly(glycerol-adipate) (PGA) is a biocompatible, biodegradable amphiphilic polyester routinely produced from divinyl adipa...

Indomethacin-Kollidon VA64 Extrudates: A Mechanistic Study of pH-Dependent Controlled Release (2016)
Journal Article
Wren, S. A. C., Aylott, J. W., Tres, F., Treacher, K., Booth, J., Hughes, L. P., …Burley, J. C. (2016). Indomethacin-Kollidon VA64 Extrudates: A Mechanistic Study of pH-Dependent Controlled Release. Molecular Pharmaceutics, 13(3), 1166-1175. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.5b00979

© 2016 American Chemical Society. Because of its weakly acidic nature (pKa of 4.5), indomethacin presents an aqueous solubility that significantly increases when changing from acidic to neutral/alkaline pH (1.5 μg/mL at pH 1.2 and 105.2 μg/mL at pH 7...

Variation in structure and properties of poly(glycerol adipate) via control of chain branching during enzymatic synthesis (2016)
Journal Article
Taresco, V., Creasey, R., Kennon, J., Mantovani, G., Alexander, C., Burley, J. C., & Garnett, M. C. (2016). Variation in structure and properties of poly(glycerol adipate) via control of chain branching during enzymatic synthesis. Polymer, 89, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polymer.2016.02.036

Poly (glycerol adipate) (PGA) can be produced from divinyl adipate and unprotected glycerol by an enzymatic route to generate a polymer with relatively low molar mass (12 kDa). PGA bears a pendant hydroxyl group which imparts a hydrophilic character...
