“…Besides that, their production usually consumes CO 2 . Several examples can be cited, such as chitin, poly(lactic acid), cellulose acetate, starch, and more incipiently poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) . This polymer is obtained by the polycondensation of 1,4‐butanediol and succinic acid .…”

Controlled‐release fertilizer is one of the most critical tools in agribusiness for decreasing environmental impacts. Thus, the development of bio‐based systems able to induce the slow release of fertilizers has become the focus of numerous researchers. In this sense, this work presents a slow‐release fertilizer prepared by melt mixing of poly(butylene succinate) filled with 30 wt % urea and 5 wt % montmorillonite clay. The obtained materials were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SAXS. Also, the release of urea was investigated using gravimetric and spectrophotometric tests. Finally, a vegetable growth analysis was performed to evaluate the development of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). The best composite material can increase the diameter of the lettuce by 67%, whereas the conventional use of urea increased this diameter by 48%. Therefore, the presented materials are useful as fertilizer systems.

“…The cross-linked polymer can be used as an effective adsorbent after the template is removed. MIT is a well developed tool in the analytical field [13][14] and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have recently been used to develop drug delivery systems [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In these works, the authors prepared MIPs, removed the template (drug) to form caves, and loaded drugs on blank MIP again.…”

A surface molecular imprinting polymer (SMIP) with doxorubicin (DOX) as the template was prepared on the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), which were further used as DOX carriers. The loading amount of DOX was calculated as 10.5±0.2 wt% with loading efficiency of 70±8%. The DOX release was controlled because the monomer molecule used in polymerization of SMIP containing sulfur-sulfur bonding, which could be decomposed with an acidic pH and glutathione (GSH). Under an acidic pH and high concentration of GSH, there was greater release of DOX than under normal physiological conditions, which induced less damage to normal cells than to cancer cells. Confocal laser scanning microscopy studies verified the invasion of the DOX within SMIP into TCA8113 cancer cells. These results indicate that the prepared SMIP was an effective nanocarrier.

“…Equilibrium and transient swelling of TR microgels (spherical particles with radii ranging from 10 to 1000 nm) has become a hot topic in the past decade. 5 This interest is driven by applications of these materials as carriers for targeted delivery of drugs and genes, 6 scaffolds for tissue regeneration, 7 systems for biosensing and bioimaging, 8 and nanoreactors with high catalytic activity, 9 to mention a few.…”
