2-N-Morpholinoethyl methacrylate (MEMA) is a methacrylate monomer featuring a morpholino group that enhances its reactivity and solubility in various solvents. Its hydrophilicity, attributed to the tertiary amine in the morpholino structure, makes MEMA suitable for numerous applications in polymer chemistry. It can undergo various polymerization techniques, including radical and anionic polymerization. MEMA is particularly valuable in biomedical applications, including drug delivery systems, medical adhesives, dental composites, tissue engineering, and controlled drug release. It is utilized in the development of biocompatible materials, polymer matrices, hydrogels, and scaffolds. Beyond biomedical uses, MEMA finds applications in coatings, electronics, optical materials, and the textile industry.
Application
2-N-Morpholinoethyl methacrylate can be used as:
A monomer for synthesizing pH-responsive amphiphilic polymers. These polymers are particularly useful in controlled release drug delivery systems due to their ability to respond to changes in pH, which is a critical factor in various physiological environments.
A crosslinking agent during the synthesis of the hydrogel nanocomposites. This crosslinking is vital for improving the mechanical stability and structural integrity of the hydrogels.
A monomer for the synthesis of thermoresponsive polymers, which are used for the applications in smart coatings and responsive drug delivery systems.
Speck is a meat product obtained from the deboned leg of pork that is salted, smoked and seasoned for four to six months. During speck seasoning, Eurotium rubrum and Penicillium solitum grow on the surface and collaborate with other moulds

We evaluated aortic tissue specimens from patients undergoing tetralogy of Fallot repair, to determine whether histologic abnormalities affect postsurgical aortic remodeling and other patient-related variables. Using light microscopy, we studied full-thickness aortic wall tissue operatively excised from 118 consecutive patients
Recently, specific dry-cured hams have started to be produced in San Daniele and Parma areas. The ingredients are similar to protected denomination of origin (PDO) produced in San Daniele or Parma areas, and include pork leg, coming from pigs bred
Herein, we report synthesis of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylaccrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels with short oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) chain comonomers (1 to 4/5 repeating unit) by surfactant-free precipitation copolymerization. The efficient incorporation of the comonomers was confirmed by a complete set of characterization methods
