Abstract
The self-diffusion coefficient of water (D) inside bioadhesive bonds formed by dry and prehydrated hydrophilic matrices has been spatially resolved using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microscopy. One-dimensional profiles showing the variation of D inside bioadhesive bonds were calculated from nine diffusion-weighted profiles obtained immediately after bond formation and every 5 min for 30 min. The resulting data indicated that the hydration state of a hydrophilic matrix can significantly and dramatically influence the dynamics of water movement inside a bioadhesive bond.
