- Carnegie Mellon scientists develop nanogels that enable controlled delivery of carbohydrate drugs
08-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have developed tiny, spherical nanogels that uniformly release encapsulated carbohydrate-based drugs. The scientists created the nanogels using atom transfer radical polymerization, which will ultimately enable the nanogels to deliver more drug directly to the target and to dispense the drug in a time-release manner.

- Chemists make tiny molecular rings with big potential
11-02-2006 · EurekAlert!
Ohio State University chemists have devised a new way to create tiny molecular rings that could one day function as drug delivery devices or antibiotics. The rings are made from polymers -- large molecules that are made up of many smaller molecules -- and the chemical reaction that creates them is similar to others that create polymer chains. But this new reaction solely makes rings, ones tailored to perform specific functions.
