Lactam polymers has been modified with sodium borohydride (NaBH
4
) to yield lactam polymers bearing hydroxyl functional groups. These functional groups are useful for the covalent attachment of reactive groups, fluorescent probes, antimicrobial agents, bioactive factors, and drugs. The resulting as components for medical devices, specifically ophthalmic devices and more specifically contact lenses. Hydrogels based on these polymers are also useful for biomedical applications in the areas of drug delivery, tissue engineering, and implantable devices.
内酰胺聚合物用
硼氢化钠(NaBH
4
) 对内酰胺聚合物进行改性,从而得到带有羟基官能团的内酰胺聚合物。这些官能团可用于共价连接活性基团、荧光探针、抗菌剂、
生物活性因子和药物。这些聚合物可用作医疗设备的组件,特别是眼科设备,尤其是隐形眼镜。基于这些聚合物的
