Polymeric self-assembly into micelles and hollow spheres with multiscale cavities driven by inclusion complexation

The inclusion complexation between beta-CD (beta-cyclodextrin) and adamantyl group (ADA) is used as a driving force in constructing polymeric micelles. The micelles composed of a hydrophobic core of PtBA-ADA and a hydrophilic shell of PGMA-CD show unique properties due to the presence of beta-CDs on the micellar surface. The micelles can be converted to hollow spheres of PGMA-CD networks. The hollow spheres possess a central hole in the size of submicrometers and many cavities of beta-CDs of 0.7 nm on the surface.     

Emulsion grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto polyethylene fiber

Graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto polyethylene fiber was carried out in emulsion solution obtained by dissolving GMA in water with sodium n-dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a surfactant. GMA micelles diameter was 415 nm at 5% GMA with 4% SDS and increased up to 1840 nm at 10% GMA with 12% SDS. Degree of grafting (Dg) which was estimated by the weight gain after grafting increased with the increment of GMA concentration in the range 2 to 8% and slightly reduced at 10% GMA. The increment in SDS concentration from 4% to 16% at 5% GMA reduced Dg from 120% to 18%. In emulsion graft polymerization, Dg was affected by covered area by GMA/SDS micelles on the fiber.     

Inclusions of methylene blue and phenothiazine by β-cyclodextrin in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles

The inclusions of methylene blue and phenothiazine by β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles and SDS/n-C₅H₁₁OH mixed micelles are studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. β-CD molecules can include monomers of methylene blue only after they have included SDS at a ratio of 1:1. However, phenothiazine can be included in the β-CD cavities even with β-CD concentrations lower than the total SDS concentration in SDS micelles, but not for solutions with SDS/n-C₅H₁₁OH mixed micelles.     

β-CYCLODEXTRIN REGULATED STEREOREGULARITY AND MOLECULAR WEIGHT IN INCLUSION POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLONITRILE

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymers were prepared by inclusion polymerization of the monomer using various molar equivalents of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Stereoregular (isotactic, atactic and syndiotactic) distributions of the prepared PAN polymers were determined from terminal model Bernoullian statistics using ¹³C-NMR data. With an increase in acrylonitrile (AN): β-CD ratios, the proportion of isotactic polymers increased. Also, T_g increased along with degradation temperature at higher AN: β-CD ratios. However, molecular weight of the polymers prepared was lower at an AN: β-CD ratio of 10:1, but was found to be larger than the control at an AN: β-CD ratio of 20:1.

Effect of β-Cyclodextrin on the Micellization of Cetyltrimethylammonium in Aqueous Solution at High Temperature

Molar volume and conductivity measurements have been carried out at 338.2 K for cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) + H₂O and CTAC + β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) + H₂O systems. The apparent critical micelle concentrations, the dissociation degree of the micelle, the transfer free energy for the hydrocarbon chain of CTAC, the standard partial molar volumes of CTAC in aqueous β-CD solution and the stoichoimetry for the inclusion complex of CTAC with β-CD have been determined. The influence of β-CD and its complex on the micellization processes of CTAC are analyzed under this temperature. It is shown that β-CD partly screened the hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain of CTAC molecules from contact with the surrounding medium, and retarded the formation of CTAC micelles in a certain extent. The thermodynamic activity of CTAC is decreased. The β-CD and its complexes do not participate the formation of micelles of CTAC, and the complex have no effect on the micelle properties once the micelles are formed. Based on a simple model, the number of CH₂ groups entered the cavity of β-CD was calculated. The result suggests that β-CD forms strong complex with CTAC, and the stoichoimetry is found to be 2:1. This supports our conductivity results.     

Development and evaluation of cyclodextrin complexed hydroxyapatite nanoparticles for preferential albumin adsorption

Our study focuses on the incorporation of β-CD into the HA structure, its effects on the phase of HA and the biological responses to proteins and blood cells. Hydroxyapatite (HA) containing levels of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) of upto 0.9 wt% has been produced by co-precipitation method. The complexes were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning analysis (DSC) methods. The size of the complexes as analyzed using DLS (dynamic light scattering) was between 150 nm and 350 nm. The results show that an increase in concentration of β-CD in the prepared samples that leads to an increase in hydrophobicity seems to promote an affinity for albumin adsorption. The PAGE results were substantiated by Lowry measurements and the results reveal that the H2 (containing 0.7 wt% β-CD) sample shows around 40% increase in albumin adsorption when compared to the H1 (containing 0.5 wt% β-CD) sample. The preferential adsorption of albumin has not been demonstrated in vivo. The ability to design particles that can preferentially interact with particular protein can obtain desired targeting effects. So the results indicate that HA/β-CD complexes have immense potential in targeted delivery of drugs. The in vivo potential of the developed samples was further confirmed in vitro by the results of cell aggregation and haemolytic activity.     

A novel β-cyclodextrin polymer modified by sulfonate groups

Based on the special properties and advantages of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), β-CD polymers have been widely studied and used in recent years. A lot of researches have focused on the adsorption and separation properties of β-CD polymers. In this paper, β-CD polymer modified by sulfonate groups, which was named S-β-CDP, was prepared using epichlorohydrin as crosslinker and tiron (1,2-dihydroxybenzene-3,5-disulfonic acid disodium salt) as modifier. β-CD polymer without modification, which was named β-CDP, was also prepared for comparison. Infrared spectra, elemental analysis and adsorption tests of S-β-CDP were carried out and compared with β-CDP. The content of sulfonate groups in S-β-CDP was obtained from elemental analysis. The dramatically increased adsorption capability toward methylene blue and basic magenta confirmed the existence and chemical activity of sulfonate groups in S-β-CDP. Due to the convenient preparation process and modified adsorption properties, S-β-CDP will find its applications in various fields such as water purification, drug loading, separation and analysis.     

Thermosensitive pluronic micelles stabilized by shell cross-linking with gold nanoparticles

Gold nanoparticles were employed to prepare shell cross-linked Pluronic micelles that exhibit a reversibly thermosensitive swelling/shrinking behavior. Two terminal hydroxyl groups of Pluronic F127 were thiol-functionalized to form self-assembling Pluronic micelles in aqueous solution with exposed -SH groups in an outer shell layer. The thiol groups present in the outer shell were cross-linked by gold nanoparticles synthesized through NaBH4 reduction of gold precursor anions. The resultant shell cross-linked gold-Pluronic micelles exhibited a temperature-dependent volume transition: their hydrodynamic diameter was changed from 157.1 +/- 15.6 nm at 15 degrees C to 53.4 +/- 5.5 nm at 37 degrees C as determined by dynamic light scattering. The critical micelle temperature measured by a pyrene solubilization technique suggested that the reversible swelling/shrinking behavior of the micelles was caused by hydrophobic interactions of cross-linked or grafted Pluronic copolymer chains in the micelle structure with increasing temperature. Transmission electron microscopy directly revealed that the shell cross-linked micelles were indeed produced by gold nanoparticles covalently clustered on the surface. These novel self-assembled organic/inorganic hybrid micelles would hold great potential for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.     

Direct synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers from glycidyl methacrylate and poly(ethylene glycol) by cationic ring‐opening polymerization and supramolecular self‐assembly thereof

Amphiphilic block copolymers composed of a hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block and a hydrophobic poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) block were synthesized through cationic ring‐opening polymerization with PEG as the precursor. The model reactions indicated that the reactivity of the epoxy groups was higher than that of the double bonds in the bifunctional monomer glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) under the cationic polymerization conditions. Through the control of the reaction time in the synthesis of block copolymer PEG‐b‐PGMA, a linear GMA block was obtained through the ring‐opening polymerization of epoxy groups, whereas the double bond in GMA remained unreacted. The results showed that the molecular weight of the PEG precursor had little influence on the grafting of GMA, and the PGMA blocks almost kept the same length, despite the difference of the PEG blocks. In addition, the PGMA blocks only consisted of several GMA units. The obtained amphiphilic PEG‐b‐PGMA block copolymers could form polymeric core–shell micelles by direct molecular self‐assembly in water. The crosslinking of the PGMA core of the PEG‐b‐PGMA micelles, induced by ultraviolet radiation and heat instead of crosslinking agents, greatly increased the stability of the micelles. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
