Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, multicyclic natural products and metallocene-containing polymers were synthesized for biomedical applications.
Chapter 1 describes the overall background, the recent development of natural product-based antimicrobial biomaterial and metallocene containing polymer for biomedical application. Afterward, the primary research objectives of my research are illustrated.
In chapter 2, a multicyclic natural product derived guanidine-based facially amphiphilic homopolymers and copolymers were synthesized. Cholic acid is one of the bile acid derivatives used to prepare facially amphiphilic moieties. A neutral polyethylene glycol (PEG) component was used to prepare copolymers with cholic acid. Reversible-addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization technique was used to …
