- Molecular Reinforcement of Transparent Materials With Acrylamide-Modified Calix[4]arene as a Crosslinker
Bernd Garska, Gero Maatz, Monir Tabatabai and Helmut Ritter
Article first published online: 10 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/mame.201100354
A new acrylamide-modified calix[4]arene crosslinker is synthesized and copolymerized with water-soluble N,N-dimethylacrylamide (NDA). The crosslinking of the transparent polymeric material increases the shear modulus, the glass transition temperature, and the water uptake of a polyNDA compared to a polyNDA crosslinked with the same molar amount of a commonly used crosslinker.
- Clay Nanotube/Poly(methyl methacrylate) Bone Cement Composites with Sustained Antibiotic Release

Article first published online: 10 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/mame.201100309
Halloysite/PMMA composite bone cement is developed for joint replacement arthroplasty. Halloysite clay nanotubes loaded with antibiotic gentamicin are doped into the PMMA. These clay nanotubes serve as nanocontainers for 400 h sustained release of the antibiotic. The halloysite/PMMA composite tensile strength and adhesion to bone are significantly improved as compared with the original cement.
- Structure Formation of Integral Asymmetric Composite Membranes of Polystyrene-block-Poly(2-vinylpyridine) on a Nonwoven
Adina Jung, Sofia Rangou, Clarissa Abetz, Volkan Filiz and Volker Abetz
Article first published online: 9 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/mame.201100359
Integral asymmetric composite membranes with a PS-b-P2VP top layer are shown for the first time. The quality of the membrane structure is discussed in terms of solvent composition, evaporation time of the cast block copolymer solution on a nonwoven before immersion, and temperature of the immersion bath. The stimuli-responsive membranes are characterized by pH-dependent water flux measurements.
