Journal Article
Ruiz-Cantu, L. A., Pearce, A. K., Burroughs, L., Bennett, T. M., Vasey, C. E., Wildman, R., …Taresco, V. (2019). Synthesis of methacrylate-terminated block copolymers with reduced transesterification by controlled ring-opening polymerization. Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 220(2), Article 1800459. https://doi.org/10.1002/macp.201800459

This work presents a robust method to achieve the synthesis of low molecular weight polyesters 26 via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) initiated by 2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (HEMA) 27 when using triazabicyclodecene (TBD) as catalyst. The effect th... Read More about Synthesis of methacrylate-terminated block copolymers with reduced transesterification by controlled ring-opening polymerization.

Some existing regenerative approaches rely on high dos... Read More about Nanoscale Coatings for Ultralow Dose BMP-2-Driven Regeneration of Critical-Sized Bone Defects.

Identification of novel ‘inks’ for 3D printing using high throughput screening: bioresorbable photocurable polymers for controlled drug delivery (2018)
Journal Article
Louzao, I., Koch, B., Taresco, V., Ruiz Cantu, L., Irvine, D. J., Roberts, C. J., …Alexander, M. R. (in press). Identification of novel ‘inks’ for 3D printing using high throughput screening: bioresorbable photocurable polymers for controlled drug delivery. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 10(8), https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.7b15677

A robust discovery methodology is presented to identify novel biomaterials suitable for 3D printing. Currently the application of Additive Manufacturing is limited by the availability of functional inks, especially in the area of biomaterials-this me...
