Hydrophilic Polymers Exhibit Boundless Opportunities for Multiple Fields
S ynthetic polymer chemistry opens up novel opportunities for water-soluble polymers . Among them, hydrophilic polymers have been most extensively studied. Earlier this month, Alfa Chemistry released a broad portfolio of hydrophilic polymers , aim ing to facilitate relevant polymer research that has prominent application s for drug delivery, gene delivery, and protein delivery to self-assembly, surface modification, and catalysis. Hydrophilic polymers contain ing polar or charged functional groups are soluble in water. These water-soluble polymers can be natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic. To further elucidate, natural hydrophilic polymers are of either plant origin or animal origin. Meanwhile, synthetic hydrophilic polymers such as t he copolymer Divinyl Ether-Maleic Anhydride (DIVEMA) can act as antitumor, antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial agent s and are frequently used in dru...
