    • Modifications of the hydrophilicity of heterocyclic methacrylate copolymers for protein release 

      Downesa, S.; Patel, M.; Di Silvio, L.; Swai, Hulda; Davy, K.; Braden, M. (Elsevier, 1995-12)
      A series of copolymers comprising ethyl methacrylate (EM) and tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate (THFMA) gelled with either THFMA monomer or hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) monomer have been developed. In this paper, we ...

    • A polymeric system for the intra-oral delivery of an anti-fungal agent 

      Patel, M.P.; Cruchley, A.T.; Coleman, D.C.; Swai, Hulda; Braden, M.; Williams, D.M. (Elsevier Science Ltd., 2001)
      Oral candidal infections are often persistent and intractable and thus the aim of this study was to develop a polymeric sustained release device to improve the topical treatment of these infections. A self curing system ...

    • The water uptake of poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate) 

      Riggs, P. D.; Braden, M.; Tilbrook, D. A.; Swai, Hulda; Clarke, R. L.; Patel, M. P. (Elsevier, 1999-03)
      Poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate) possesses some unique characteristics with respect to its biocompatibility and behaviour in water. The water uptake is high (>70%) and very slow (over 3 yr), but the material remains ...
