苄基取代甜菜碱对聚四氟乙烯表面润湿性的影响

利用座滴法研究了两性离子表面活性剂苄基取代烷基羧基甜菜碱(BCB)和苄基取代烷基磺基甜菜碱(BSB)在聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)表面上的润湿性质,考察了表面活性剂浓度对接触角的影响趋势,并讨论了粘附张力、固-液界面张力和粘附功的变化规律.研究发现,在低浓度时,表面活性剂通过疏水作用吸附到PTFE表面,疏水链苄基取代支链化使其在固-液界面上的吸附明显低于气-液界面,接触角在很大的范围内保持不变.当体相浓度增加到大于临界胶束浓度(cmc)时, BCB和BSB分子在固-液界面上继续吸附,分子逐渐直立,造成PTFE-液体之间的界面张力(γ_SL)进一步降低,表面亲水性增加,接触角随浓度增加明显降低;另一方面, BSB由于具有较大的极性头,在高浓度时空间阻碍作用明显,导致其对PTFE表面润湿性改变程度小于BCB.

Polyelectrolyte complexation between poly(methacrylic acid,sodium salt) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) or poly[2‐(methacryloyloxyethyl) trimethylammonium chloride]

Polyelectrolyte complexes between poly(methacrylic acid, sodium salt) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) or poly[2‐(methacryloyloxyethyl)trimethylammonium chloride] (PMOETAC) form gels, liquid phases, or soluble complexes depending on charge ratio, total polymer loading, polymer molecular weight, and ionic strength. Increasing the ionic strength of the medium led most polyelectrolyte pairs to transition from gel through liquid complexes (complex coacervate) to soluble complexes. These transitions shift to higher ionic strengths for higher molecular weight polymers, as well as for PMOETAC compared to PDADMAC. The complex phases swelled with increasing polymer loading, ultimately merging with the supernatant phase at a critical polymer loading. The isolated liquid complex phases below and above this critical loading were temperature‐sensitive, showing cloud points followed by macroscopic phase separation upon heating. Incorporating 5 mol % lauryl methacrylate into the polyanion led to increased complex yield with PDADMAC, and increased resistance to ionic strength. In contrast, incorporating 30 mol % of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate into the polyanion led to decreased complex yield, and to lower resistance to ionic strength. Two polyelectrolyte systems that produced liquid complexes were used to encapsulate hydrophobic oils, and in one case were used to demonstrate the feasibility of crosslinking the resulting capsule walls. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of Poly(methacrylic acid) on the Cytokine Level in an In Vivo Tumor Model

Cancer is a leading cause of mortality globally. Despite remarkable improvements in cancer-treatment approaches, disease recurrence and progression remain major obstacles to therapy. While chemotherapy is still a first-line treatment for a variety of cancers, the focus has shifted to the development and application of new approaches to therapy. Nevertheless, the relationship between immune response, neoplastic diseases and treatment efficiency is not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the immunopharmacological effects of methacrylic acid homopolymer in an in vivo tumor model. Materials and methods: Monomeric methacrylic acid was used to synthesize polymers. Methacrylic acid was polymerized in dioxane in the presence of 4-Cyano-4-[(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanyl]pentanoic acid. To study the molecular weight characteristics of PMAA by GPC, carboxyl groups were preliminarily methylated with diazomethane. An experimental cancer model was obtained by grafting RMK1 breast cancer cells. The serum levels of IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA. Results: The effect of PMAA on the serum concentrations of several cytokines was studied upon its single administration to laboratory animals in early neoplastic process. The IL-6, IL-17 and TGF-β1 concentrations were found to change significantly and reach the level observed in intact rats. The IL-10 concentration tended to normalize. Conclusion: The positive results obtained are the basis for further studies on the effect of methacrylic-acid polymers with different molecular-weight characteristics on the neoplastic process.     

Effect of Poly(methacrylic acid) on Photoinduced Processes with Cyanine Dyes in Aqueous Solutions

The cyanine dyes thiamonomethinecyanine (I), thiacarbocyanine (II), and thiadicarbocyanine (III) in an aqueous poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) solution form different molecular species: monomers anchored to PMA, dimers, and H aggregates, in proportions determined by the [dye]/[PMA] concentration ratio. Each molecular species is characterized by its own probabilities of radiative and nonradiative transitions: the absence of photoisomerization for I–IIIdimers and H aggregates, the absence of fluorescence for H aggregates of IIand III, the capability of transition to a triplet state for PMA-anchored monomers I–III, and considerable enhancement of intersystem crossing to the triplet state for the dimers of II.     

Poly (diallyldimethylammonium) and polyphosphate polyelectrolyte complexes as an all‐in‐one flame retardant for polypropylene

Poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) deionized chloride ions and ammonium ions by ionizing in aqueous solution respectively, then combined to form poly (diallyldimethylammonium) and polyphosphate (PAPP) polyelectrolyte complexes as an all‐in‐one flame retardant for polypropylene and its composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. One flame retardant system composed of PAPP and PP, the other flame retardant system composed of PAPP, Polyamide‐6 (PA6) and PP were tested by limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL‐94, cone calorimeter tests and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and compared with pure PP. The results showed that the LOI value of PP/PAPP composite can reach 27.5%, and UL‐94 V‐2 rating can be reached at 25 wt% PAPP loading. Meanwhile the cone calorimetry results displayed that the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) were reduced up to 69.3% and 22.5%, respectively, compared with those of pure PP. After adding 5 wt% PA6, the carbon source missing due to the early PAPP decomposition can be made up, and PHRR and THR can be further reduced slightly. The flame retardant mechanism of PAPP was studied by FTIR spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Six‐membered ring of C─N containing conjugate double bonds, cross‐linked phosphate structure formed stable, intumescent, compact char layer which greatly improved the flame retardancy of PP.     

Characterization and Aggregation Behaviors of Mixed DDAB/SDS Solution With and Without Poly(4-styrenesulfonic Acid-Co-Maleic Acid) Sodium

Synthetic vesicles are formed by cationic and anionic surfactants, didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). The morphology, size, and aqueous properties of cationic/anionic mixtures are investigated at various molar ratios between cationic and anionic surfactants. The charged vesicular dispersions made of DDAB/SDS are contacted or mixed with negatively charged polyelectrolyte, poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium (PSSAMA), to form complexes. Depending on DDAB/SDS molar ratio or PSSAMA/vesicle charge ratio, complexes flocculation or precipitation occur. Characterization of the cationic/anionic vesicles or complexes formed by the catanionic vesicles and polyelectrolytes is performed by transmission electron microscope (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), conductivity, turbidity, and zeta potential measurements. The size, stability, and the surface charge on the mixed cationic/anionic vesicles or complexes are determined.

Collapse of Poly(methacrylic acid) Hydrogels in Response to Simultaneous Stimulation by an Electric Field and Complex Formation

Complex formation of poly(methacrylic acid) hydrogels with linear poly(ethylene glycol) has been studied at different pH values and in the presence of an electric field. The fastest contraction of the gel samples was observed under simultaneous action of electric field and complex formation.

Dependence of the volume ratio V/V₀ of PMAA sample on time: Sample in the absence of an electric field immersed in 0.1 M PEG solution at (1) pH 8.2, (2) at pH 5.1, and in the presence of an electric field (3) in water and (4) 0.1 M PEG solution at pH 5.1.     

Polymer-Based Superhydrophobic Coating Fabricated from Polyelectrolyte Multilayers of Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and Poly(acrylic acid)

Superhydrophobic films mainly based on poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) polyelectrolyte multilayer have been deposited onto cleaned glass substrate by a layer-by-layer dip coating method. 3 bilayers of the PAH and PAA was directly coated onto the substrate as an underlying layer for subsequent coating. Desired surface roughness on the polyelectrolyte bilayers was created by etching the bilayers in hydrochloric acid solution so as to create the open pore having suitable size at the surface. Then, nanoparticles such as SiO₂ and TiO₂ of various sizes were deposited onto the etched polyelectrolyte bilayers. Finally, the surfaces were further modified with semifluorinated silane followed by cross-linking at 180 °C for 2 h to obtain desirable surface morphological features. The effect of etching time and addition of nanoparticles on surface morphology was investigated using an atomic force microscope (AFM). Wetting ability of the prepared film was determined by measuring water droplet contact angle using a goniometer. Adhesion between the superhydrophobic films and the substrate was evaluated by using a standard tape test method (D3359). The adhesion was improved by reducing the organic content in the films.

PPQB及PPAB具有较高的分子量(PPQB及PPAB的分子量分别为1.8×10⁵和8.1×10⁴ g/mol). 进一步的表征表明,PPQB和PPAB均具有良好的荧光活性和导电性能.     

Fluorescence study of the interaction between metal ions and methyl methacrylate–methacrylic acid copolymers in aqueous solutions: thallium(I), calcium(II), and terbium(III)

 The binding of the cations thallium(I), calcium(II) and terbium(III) to methyl methacrylate– methacrylic acid copolymers with different fractions of acid groups (x) has been studied in aqueous solution at various pH values using the fluorescence of covalently bonded 9-vinyl anthracene as a probe. In all cases, the extent of binding increases as a function of the charge of the polymer with either increasing fraction of carboxylic acids or of pH. However, differences are observed in the behavior of the three cations. With Tl(I), quenching of the anthracene group fluorescence is observed, indicating that the thallium(I) approaches the probe and suggesting that the alkylanthracene is probably in a relatively polar region. Binding constants have been determined from anthracene quenching data and from studies with the fluo-rescent-probe sodium pyrenetetra-sulfonate. Good agreement is obtained between the two methods, and values for the binding constants increase from 250 to 950 M^-1 as x increases from 0.39 to 1. It is suggested that the cation is held in the polyelectrolyte domain, partly by Debye–Hückel effects and partly by more specific interactions. Stronger binding is found with calcium(II) and terbium(III), and in this case increases in fluorescence intensity are observed on complexation due to the anthracene group being in a more hydrophobic region, probably as a result of conformational changes in the polymer chain. In the former case the stoichiometry of the interaction was determined from the fluorescence data to involve two carboxylate groups bound per calcium. Association constants were found using murexide as an indicator of free calcium to vary from 8400 to 37 000 M^-1 as x increases from 0.39 to 1. It is suggested that in this case specific calcium(II)–carboxylate interactions contribute to the binding. With terbium(III), a greater increase in the probe fluorescence intensity was observed than with calcium, and it is suggested that the interaction with the polymer is even stronger, leading to a more pronounced conformational change in the polymer. It is proposed that the terbium(III) interacts with six carboxylic groups on the polymer chain, with three being coordinated and three attracted by electrostatic interactions.

Synthesis and SFM Study of Comb‐Like Poly(4‐vinylpyridinium) Salts and Their Complexes with Surfactants

Summary: Poly(4‐vinylpyridinium) bromides containing octyl and dodecyl pendant groups were synthesized. Bromide anions in these polymer salts were substituted with dodecylsulfate and bis(2‐ethylhexylsuccinate) anions using ion‐exchange reactions. Initially, P4VP and its derivatives loaded with hydrophobic groups were deposited on a mica surface from diluted solutions in chloroform for visualization. Images of single adsorbed macromolecules were obtained using scanning force microscopy. Original P4VP chains form partially compacted self‐intersecting coils. Loading the polymer chains with large hydrophobic groups and especially the increase in the number of alkyl tails (see Figure) per monomer unit of the polymer chain leads to the stretching of the coils, and the comb‐like macromolecules adopt more and more extended self‐avoiding 2D conformations when deposited on the substrate.

聚甲基丙烯酸基纳米水凝胶的“绿色”合成

Light Scattering Study of the Antibody–Poly(methacrylic acid) and Antibody–Poly(acrylic acid) Conjugates in Aqueous Solutions

The effect of the conformational state of the polymer coil on the properties of protein–polymer conjugates has been studied for the conjugates of antibody (monoclonal antibody from 6C5 clone against inactivated rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase; Ab) with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) or poly‐(acrylic acid) (PAA). The pH‐dependencies of molecular properties and structural parameters of aqueous solutions (radius of gyration, intensity of scattered light, hydrodynamic diameter, and polydispersity index) of Ab, PMAA, and PAA and their conjugates, i. e., Ab‐PMAA and Ab‐PAA, have been studied using static and dynamic light scattering techniques. While free Ab aggregates in solution and precipitates at its isoelectric point, the covalent attachment of a charged polymer to Ab prevents its association and shifts the precipitation point towards more acidic values (from pH 5.95 for Ab to pH ˜ 4.8 for Ab‐PMAA). The predominant role of the conformational status of the polymer in the process of conjugate precipitation has been considered. Contrary to the precipitation of Ab‐PMAA, the formation of stable colloidal particles was suggested for Ab‐PAA at pH < 4.8. In the conjugates, polymer chains surround the protein globule in an extremely compact manner while Ab significantly affects the polymer conformation. The essentially larger hydrodynamic radii of conjugates, when compared with their radii of gyration, confirm the strong interaction of conjugates with solvent molecules.
