Abstract: A method of fabricating a conjugated polymer may include alkylating a carbazole with an alkyl bromide, in a solvent mixture, to form an alkyl carbazole; brominating the alkyl carbazole to form an N-alkyldibromocarbazole; and reacting the N-alkyldibromocarbazole with a distanyl-biselenophene in the presence of a catalyst to form a conjugated polymer having repeating units of formula (5)

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to shear-thinning and stabilizing hydrogels, especially for use in drug delivery, therapy, and 3D printing. Embodiments provide an injectable hydrogel, including: a water-soluble polymer including a first functional group; a host molecule including a second functional group, wherein the second functional group is characterized as complementary to the first functional group; and a guest-terminated star polymer, wherein the guest-terminated star polymer comprises a core unit, a plurality of arms extending from the core unit, and a guest molecule disposed at a terminal end of each of the plurality of arms, and wherein the host molecule and the guest-terminated star polymer are linked by one or more bonds that break under mechanical stress and reform after removal of the mechanical stress.

Abstract: Thiazole tethered organoselenide compounds, a method of synthesizing said compounds, a pharmaceutical composition comprising said compounds and a suitable carrier, and a method of using the compounds. The thiazole tethered organoselenide compounds are identified as being capable of inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO).
