A statistical kinetic model for the bulk degradation of PLA-b-PLA hydrogel networks

Article Abstract:

A theoretical model is developed to describe the bulk-degradation behavior of model PEG-b-PLA hydrogels. The mass loss profiles of the cross-linked networks are shown to depend on parameters such as the order of hydrolysis reaction, the value of the kinetic rate constant, the number of cross-links per backbone chain, and the mass fraction of network contained in the backbone as opposed to the rest of the network.

A generalized bulk-degradation model for hydrogel networks formed from multivinyl cross-linking molecules

Article Abstract:

A theoretical model is developed to describe the behavior of hydrogels formed from multivinyl cross-linking molecules. Through this approach the degradation of many realistic systems can be understood which also provides insight into the design of degradable hydrogel networks with the desired properties.

A statistical kinetic model for the bulk degradation of PLA-b-PEG-b-PLA hydrogel networks: Incorporating networks non-idealities

Article Abstract:

The PLA-b-PEG-b-PLA hydrogels are water swellable, cross-linked networks. A theoretical model is developed to predict accurately the bulk-degradation behavior of real hydrogel networks through the addition of a minimal number of parameters to account for network nonidealities.
