| Abstract | We have recently developed a new group of cationic biodegradable multiblock poly(ε-caprolactone urethane)s bearing gemini quaternary ammonium pendant groups and methoxyl-poly(ethylene glycol) (m-PEG) end chains. In this study, to endow polyurethane with attractive amphiphilicity and good biocompatibility, and to achieve a fundamental understanding on the structure-property relationship of these polyurethanes in favor of designing and preparing new generation of polyurethanes with more attractive amphiphilicity and better biocompatibility, varying amounts of m-PEG were introduced into the polyurethane chains and the effect of PEG content on the polymer bulk properties was investigated in detail by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), water contact angle (WCA) measurements, polarizing light microscopy (PLM) and in vitrodegradation studies. It was found that the incorporation of PEG has direct effects on the phase behaviors, thermal properties, hydrophilicity and degradable ability of poly(ε-caprolactone urethane)s. Moreover, these polyurethanes exhibit good cytocompatibility, which are promising biodegradable carrier materials in drug delivery and interesting candidates for further study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
