The drug-loaded MPLMC is promising for autofluorescence-free persistent luminescence imaging-guided drug delivery and tumor therapy.Microsolvated complexes of ethyl carbamate (urethane) with up to three water molecules formed in a supersonic expansion have been characterized by high-resolution microwave spectroscopy. Both chirped-pulse and cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometers covering the 2-13 GHz frequency range have been used. The structures of the complexes have been characterized and show water molecules closing sequential cycles through hydrogen bonding with the amide group. As is the case in the monomer, the ethyl carbamate-water complexes exhibit a conformational equilibrium between two conformers close in energy. The interconversion barrier between both forms has been studied by analyzing the spectra obtained using different carrier gas in the expansion. Complexation of ethyl carbamate with water molecules does not appear to significantly alter the potential energy function for the interconversion between the two conformations of ethyl carbamate.Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is commonly used in medical devices because it is non-toxic and stable against oxidative stress. Relatively high blood platelet adhesion and the need for chemical crosslinking through curing, however, limit its utility. In this research, a biostable PDMS-based polyurethane-urea bearing zwitterion sulfobetaine (PDMS-SB-UU) was synthesized for potential use in the fabrication or coating of blood-contacting devices, such as a conduits, artificial lungs, and microfluidic devices. The chemical structure and physical properties of synthesized PDMS-SB-UU were confirmed by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and uniaxial stress-strain cur
