In situ gel forming graft copolymers of a polyaspartamide and polylactic acid: Preparation and characterization

In situ gel forming systems have been prepared by linking polylactic acid (PLA) to a water soluble and polyfunctional polymer, such as α,β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-d,l-aspartamide (PHEA). Three graft copolymers PHEA-PLA with a different derivatization degree in PLA, have been synthesized and characterized. PHEA-PLA graft copolymer with the highest amount in PLA has been used to prepare solutions in organic solvents able to give rise to gel-like matrices when injected into phosphate buffered saline solution. The chemical degradation of these gels has been evaluated and in vitro tests have been performed to evaluate the cell compatibility of the hydrolysis products. The possibility to use these gels for drug release has been investigated by incorporating leuprolide as a peptide model drug and by evaluating its in vitro release. To improve the drug release profile, PHEA-PLA graft copolymer has been derivatized with pendant carboxylic groups that are able to form an ion pair with the leuprolide thus reducing the burst effect and prolonging its release.     

Mechanical,aging, optical and rheological properties of toughening polylactide by melt blending with poly(ethylene glycol) based copolymers

Two novel biodegradable copolymers, including poly(ethylene glycol)-succinate copolymer (PES) and poly(ethylene glycol)-succinate-l-lactide copolymer (PESL), have been successfully synthesized via melt polycondensation using SnCl₂ as a catalyst. The copolymers were used to toughen PLA by melt blending. The DSC and SEM results indicated that the two copolymers were compatible well with PLA, and the compatibility of PESL was superior to that of PES. The results of tensile testing showed that the extensibility of PLA was largely improved by blending with PES or PESL. At same blending ratios, the elongation at break of PLA/PESL blends was far higher than that of PLA/PES ones. The elongation maintained stable through aging for 3 months. The moisture absorption of the blends enhanced due to the strong moisture absorption of PEG segments in PES or PESL molecules, which did not directly lead to enhance the hydrolytic degradation rate of the PLA. The PLA blends containing 20–30 wt% PES or PESL were high transparent materials with high light scattering. The toughening PLA materials could potentially be used as a soft biodegradable packaging material or a special optical material.     

GRAFTING OF ACRYLAMIDE ONTO SURFACE OF COPOLYMERS CONTAINING P-TOLYLCARBAMOYL PENDANT GROUP INITIATED WITH CERIC SALT

Two copolymers containing p-tolylcarbamoyl pendant group poly (MAMT-co-VAc) and poly(MAMT-co-MA) were synthesized f and the graft copolymerization of AAM onto these two func-tional copolymers films initiated with ceric salt were carried out in aqueous solution for variousperiods at 30℃. The formation of graft copolymer was verified by water absorption, ESCA andSEM photographs. Based on the results of the study of the initiation mechanism of model com-pounds and ceric salt systems, the reaction mechanism of the graft copolymerization initiated withceric salt was proposed.     

PEG-PLA block copolymer as potential drug carrier: preparation and characterization

Diblock and multiblock copolymers composed of a poly(D,L-lactide) (PLA) or poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) core with a hydrophilic chain of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were prepared. These copolymers, in which the core is connected to PEG through a polyfunctional molecule such as citric, mucic, or tartaric acid, may be used to form nanoparticles for drug delivery applications. Branched copolymers were prepared by direct amidation between the polyfunctional acid and methoxy PEGamine, followed by ring-opening polymerization of lactide or trimethyl carbonate to form the PLA and PTMC block copolymers. In addition, a complex multiblock copolymer of biotin-PEG-poly[lactic-co-(glycolic acid)] (PLGA) for application in an avidin-biotin system was prepared for possible design of nanospheres with targeting properties. Studies of drug release from polymeric systems containing multiblock copolymers and studies of polymer degradation were also performed.     

Physicochemical evaluation of PLA nanoparticles stabilized by water-soluble MPEO-PLA block copolymers

Different water-soluble MPEO-PLA diblock copolymers with various alpha-methoxy-omega-hydroxyl polyethylene (MPEO) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) block lengths have been synthesized. Their surface-active properties were evidenced by surface tension (water/air) measurements. In each case the surface tension leveled down above a critical polymer concentration, which was attributed to the formation of a dense polymer layer at the liquid-air interface. The applicability of copolymers as emulsion stabilizers in the preparation of PLA nanospheres by an o/w emulsion/evaporation technique was then investigated. Four copolymers presenting sufficient water solubility and good surfactive properties were used to prepare PLA nanospheres with MPEO chains firmly anchored at the particle surface. The effect of polymer concentration in emulsion on particle size and surface coverage was examined. Whatever the copolymer characteristics, it was found that the optimal concentration to obtain a large amount of MPEO at the particle surface was similar (around 2 g/l). The effect of the copolymer composition on MPEO layer characteristics and on colloidal stability was also evaluated. The conformation of MPEO blocks at the PLA particle surface is discussed in relation to the layer thickness and the surface area occupied per molecule.

SYNTHESIS OF AMPHIPHILIC COPOLYMERS BASED ON ACRYLATES BY FREE-RADICAL POLYMERIZATION AND THEIR APPLICATION IN ALKYD EMULSIONS

Novel amphiphilic copolymers which contained poly(ethylene glycol) side-chain, long-chain alkyl pendant groups, and carboxyl groups have been synthesized by the conventional free-radical copolymerization of special monomers. The products were characterized by analysis of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), and ¹H NMR. Based on the measurement of surface tension of aqueous copolymer solutions with various concentrations at an air/water interface, the critical micelle concentrations (CMC) was found to be lower along with the increase of copolymer concentration. Experimental results showed that CMC of this kind of amphiphilic polymer appeared in the range of 0.01～0.1 g/L. The amphiphilic polymer was mixed with an anionic surfactant (SDBS) in different proportions at aqueous solution and then successfully used in the preparation of alkyd emulsions. The results were compared with those of alkyd emulsions without polymeric surfactant. Steric stabilization of amphiphilic polymer was investigated by the observation of the stability of alkyd emulsions. The emulsions were stable after resting at ambient temperature for four months.     

RGD peptide grafted biodegradable amphiphilic triblock copolymer poly(glutamic acid)‐b‐poly(L‐lactide)‐b‐poly(glutamic acid): Synthesis and self‐assembly

A novel amphiphilic biodegradable triblock copolymer (PGL‐PLA‐PGL) with polylactide (PLA) as hydrophobic middle block and poly(glutamic acid) (PGL) as hydrophilic lateral blocks was successfully synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of L ‐lactide (LA) and N‐carboxy anhydride (NCA) consecutively and by subsequent catalytic hydrogenation. The results of cell experiment of PGL‐PLA‐PGL suggested that PGL could improve biocompatibility of polyester obviously. The copolymer could form micelles of spindly shape easily in aqueous solution. The pendant carboxyl groups of the triblock copolymer were further activated with N‐hydroxysuccinimide and combined with a cell‐adhesive peptide GRGDSY. Incorporation of the oligopeptide further enhanced the hydrophilicity and led to formation of spherical micelles. PGL‐PLA‐PGL showed better cell adhesion and spreading ability than pure PLA and the GRGDSY‐containing copolymer exhibited even further improvement in cell adhesion and spreading ability, indicating that the copolymer could find a promising application in drug delivery or tissue engineering. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
