Thermo-sensitive poly(DEGMMA-co-MEA) microgels: Synthesis,characterization and interfacial interaction with adsorbed protein layer

The novel microgels, poly[di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate-co-2-methoxyethyl acrylate] poly(DEGMMA-co-MEA) microgels, were synthesized. The poly(DEGMMA-co-MEA) microgels were thermo-sensitive and exhibited a volume phase transitive temperature(VPTT) of 14–22 ?C. The incorporation of hydrophobic comonomer MEA shifted the VPTT of poly(DEGMMA-co-MEA) microgels to lower temperatures. The interfacial interaction of poly(DEGMMA-co-MEA) microgels and three model proteins, namely fibrinogen, bovine serum albumin and lysozyme, was investigated by quartz crystal microbalance(QCM). An injection sequence of "microgel-after-protein" was then established for the real-time study of the interaction of proteins and the microgels at their swollen and collapsed states by using QCM technique. The results indicated that the interfacial interaction of poly(DEGMMA-co-MEA) microgels and adsorbed protein layers was mainly determined by the electrostatic interaction. Because poly(DEGMMA-co-MEA) microgels were negatively charged in Tris-HCl buffer solution(p H = 7.4), the microgels did not adsorb on negatively charged fibrinogen and bovine serum albumin layers but strongly adsorbed on positively charged lysozyme layer. Stronger interaction between lysozyme and the microgels at collapsed state(i.e. at 37 ?C) was observed. Furthermore, the incorporation of MEA might weaken the interaction between poly(DEGMMA-co-MEA) microgels and proteins.     

Synthesis and properties of organic-inorganic hybrid P(NIPAM-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-AM-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-TMSPMA) microgels

Utilizing the hydrolysis and condensation of the methoxysilyl moieties, organic-inorganic hybrid poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate) P(NIPAM-co-AM-co-TMSPMA) microgels were prepared via two different methods. The first method was that the microgels were post-fabricated from the crosslinkable linear P(NIPAM-co-AM-co-TMSPMA) terpolymer aqueous solutions above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the terpolymer. For the second method, the microgels were directly synthesized by conventional surfactant free emulsion copolymerization of NIPAM, AM, and TMSPMA. The hydrodynamic diameter and stability of the resultant P(NIPAM-co-AM-co-TMSPMA) microgels strongly depend on the pH and temperature of the microgel aqueous solution. The hydrodynamic diameters of the microgels decreased with increasing the measuring temperature. The phase transition temperature of the microgels was found to be around 34°C, which was independent of the initial terpolymer concentration and shifted to lower temperature with increasing the preparation temperature. Increasing the initial amount of AM will enhance the instability of the microgels at high pH values. Moreover, the P(NIPAM-co-AM-co-TMSPMA) microgels obtained from the linear terpolymer had more homogeneous microstructures as compared with the corresponding NIPAM/AM/TMSPMA microgels prepared by one step emulsion copolymerization as revealed by light scattering measurements.

研究了一系列具有不同链段长度和组成的聚4-乙烯基吡啶-聚苯乙烯-聚4-乙烯基吡啶多嵌段共聚物(P4VP-b-PS-b-P4VP)n在其选择性溶剂甲苯和pH<3的水中的胶束化过程,主要研究了多嵌段共聚物链段长度、溶液浓度和溶剂对其胶束形态的影响.透射电镜和原子力显微镜结果表明随着P4VP段链的相对增长,多嵌段共聚物在甲苯中的胶束形态由蠕虫链状向短棒状到球状胶束变化,而其在pH<3的水溶液中均形成球形胶束.由于特殊的链结构,聚合物的浓度对(P4VP-b-PS-b-P4VP)n多嵌段共聚物的胶束行为和胶束形态有着重要的影响.同时,(P4VP-b-PS-b-P4VP)n多嵌段共聚物分子量分布的多分散性对其在选择性溶剂中的胶束形态也有所影响.
