Abstract: A water-mediated process prepares a polymeric (meth)acrylation composition. In some embodiments, the process includes providing a stabilized aqueous solution including a (meth)acrylation component and a polyol monomer in a vessel under an inert atmosphere and adding a diacid monomer to the vessel under the inert atmosphere. In some embodiments, the process includes providing a stabilized aqueous solution including a (meth)acrylation component and a copolymer of a polyol monomer and a diacid monomer in a vessel under an inert atmosphere. The process further includes heating and removing water from the vessel under the inert atmosphere to produce the polymeric (meth)acrylation composition. The polymeric (meth)acrylation composition includes a (meth)acrylation polyester copolymer of the diacid monomer and the polyol monomer with the (meth)acrylation component conjugated to the (meth)acrylation polyester copolymer.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a polymer film includes a base composition of poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) and a surface composition comprising hydroxy groups. In some embodiments, a polymer film includes a base layer of a first composition of poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate), a surface layer at a surface of the base layer, and a coating layer of a second composition of a copolymer of glycerol and sebacic acid. The surface layer includes surface hydroxy groups converted from acetate groups of the poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate). The second composition is attached to the surface layer by ester bonds between carboxyl groups of the copolymer and the hydroxy groups. A single-use bioreactor bag includes a polymer film including a base composition of poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) and a surface composition comprising hydroxy groups. A method of modifying a poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) film includes converting acetate groups at a first surface of the poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) film to hydroxy groups.

Abstract: A polymeric delivery system delivers a biologic to cells. In some embodiments, the polymeric delivery system includes polyplexes. Each polyplex includes at least one charged polymer and at least one biologic. The at least one charged polymer includes a polyester copolymer of a polyol and a polycarboxylic acid modified with at least one charged moiety having an opposite charge from a net charge of the at least one biologic. In other embodiments, the polymeric delivery system includes self-assembled particles including a block copolymer and a biologic associated with the block copolymer. The block copolymer includes a first block of a polyester copolymer of a polyol and a polycarboxylic acid and a second block of a second monomer or a second polymer.
