Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Poly( dl ‐lactide) (PLA) and two of its random copolymers with glycolic acid, poly( dl ‐lactide‐ co ‐glycolide) (PLGA) with 75/25 and 50/50 component ratios of lactide/glycolide were blended with poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(propylene oxide)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO–PPO–PEO) triblock non‐ionic surfactants, known by the Pluronic® trade names of PE6100, PE6400 and PE6800. The surface chemical compositions of the blended films were identified by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Based on the component of the carbon signal assigned to the ether carbon of the Pluronic® molecule, quantification of the surface accumulation of the Pluronic® additive, compared to its bulk concentration, was performed. The data demonstrated that PEO‐containing surfaces were prepared by the blending process. A significant surface hydrophilization, characterized by wettability measurements, was obtained by applying the Pluronics® at a concentration of 1.0–9.1 wt% in the blends. The composition of the surface layer and, in accordance with this, the wettability of the film were found to be dependent on the type of Pluronic® and on the composition of the unmodified polymer. Protein adsorption on the polymer films was measured by the FT‐IR ATR spectroscopic technique. The adsorbed amount of bovine serum albumin onto PLA was highly reduced when the polymer was blended with a Pluronic®. The increased hydrophilicity and the reduced protein adsorption properties of the PLA and PLGA obtained by blending with PEO compounds might contribute to their applications as drug carrier systems with great potential.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
