Polymer mediated peptide immobilization onto amino-containing N-isopropylacrylamide-styrene core-shell particles

Monodisperse cationic core-shell latex particles have been prepared using a shot polymerization process, with N-(3-aminopropyl)-methacrylamide-hydrochloride (APMH) as the functional monomer. The final latexes were characterized with respect to final polymerization conversion, water soluble polymer formation, particle size and size distribution, surface charge density and electrokinetic properties. Then the covalent grafting of maleic anhydride-alt-methyl vinyl ether (MAMVE) copolymer onto aminated latex particles was investigated. The most efficient conditions to obtain derivatised particles with no alteration of the colloidal stability were to control both polymer amount/latex particles concentration ratio and the mixing method of the two species. The charge inversion of the hydrolysed MAMVE functionalized particles was demonstrated by measuring the electrophoretic mobility as a function of pH. Finally, the covalent binding approach was implemented with peptide-MAMVE conjugates, confirming the great potential of this promising methodology for the preparation of reactive latex particles bearing peptides.     

Facile preparation of monodisperse hollow cross‐linked chitosan microspheres

We have successfully prepared biocompatible and biodegradable hollow microspheres using carboxyl‐functionalized polystyrene particles as core template and the chitosan cross‐linked with glutaraldehyde as the shell. The monodisperse carboxyl‐functionalized polystyrene particles were made by emulsifier‐free emulsion polymerization. The structure, morphology, and constitution of the carboxyl‐functionalized polystyrene particles were characterized by FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The structure, morphology, and formation process of the hollow cross‐linked chitosan microspheres were characterized by FTIR, SEM, and TEM. The results revealed that the latex particles were removed by exposed to solvent and the microspheres exhibited the hollow structure. This work confirmed that the hollow microspheres were accomplished by fabricating on the basis of chemical cross‐linking on the surface of the carboxyl‐functionalized polystyrene particles and then removing off the cores of particles. Moreover, with the increase of carboxyl‐functionalization degree at the surface of latexes and the increase of cross‐linking period, the thicker and firmer monodisperse hollow microspheres were obtained. In addition, a water‐soluble drug, salicylic acid, encapsulated in the microcapsules slowly released at pH 1.2. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 228–237, 2008     

Single‐step process to produce functionalized multiresponsive polymeric particles

Monodisperse functional multiresponsive particles were prepared by encapsulation of an amphiphilic diblock copolymer during the precipitation polymerization of polystyrene and divinylbenzene in one single step. The amphiphilic diblock copolymer employed throughout this study, polystyrene‐b‐poly (dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PS‐b‐PDMAEMA) has been synthesized by ATRP in two consecutive polymerization steps. After encapsulation of the block copolymer within the microsphere, the surface modification of the particle occurs spontaneously upon exposure to water by surface segregation of the hydrophilic PDMAEMA block, thus without any additional post‐polymerization and/or chemical modification steps. The response of the functionalized particles both to pH and temperature was analyzed by potential zeta and DSC measurements. Upon dispersion of the particles in acidic media, the PDMAEMA block in its charged state is soluble and does not exhibit any change by heating. At higher pH values and temperatures above 35 °C (Low Critical Solubility Temperature of the PDMAEMA block) the hydrophilic segment collapses as detected by differential scanning calorimetry. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

PEGylated nanographene oxide for delivery of water-insoluble cancer drugs

It is known that many potent, often aromatic drugs are water insoluble, which has hampered their use for disease treatment. In this work, we functionalized nanographene oxide (NGO), a novel graphitic material, with branched polyethylene glycol (PEG) to obtain a biocompatible NGO-PEG conjugate stable in various biological solutions, and used them for attaching hydrophobic aromatic molecules including a camptothecin (CPT) analogue, SN38, noncovalently via pi-pi stacking. The resulting NGO-PEG-SN38 complex exhibited excellent water solubility while maintaining its high cancer cell killing potency similar to that of the free SN38 molecules in organic solvents. The efficacy of NGO-PEG-SN38 was far higher than that of irinotecan (CPT-11), a FDA-approved water soluble SN38 prodrug used for the treatment of colon cancer. Our results showed that graphene is a novel class of material promising for biological applications including future in vivo cancer treatment with various aromatic, low-solubility drugs.

Hydrophilic stimuli‐responsive particles for biomedical applications

Hydrophilic and stimuli‐responsive submicronic latex particles based on polyalkyl(meth)acrylamide can be prepared owing to simple radical‐initiated polymerizations in heterogeneous media using a water‐soluble initiator and a crosslinker (methylenebisacrylamide). The paper aims at reviewing the synthesis and properties of functionalized polystyrene‐polyN‐isoprpylacrylamide core‐shell particles or polyN‐isopropylmethacrylamide microgel particles. Particle size of analysis showed that a short nucleation period afforded the synthesis of highly monodispersed latexes. The dramatic change of the colloidal properties (particle size, electrophoretic mobility) was found to reflect the thermal sensitivity of such particles. The hydrophilic nature of the particles below the volume phase transition temperature was found to drastically reduce the physical adsorption of proteins. Some examples of biomedical applications of these stimuli‐responsive particles are briefly reported.     

The zeta potential of surface-functionalized metallic nanorod particles in aqueous solution

Metallic nanoparticles suspended in aqueous solutions and functionalized with chemical and biological surface coatings are important elements in basic and applied nanoscience research. Many applications require an understanding of the electrokinetic or colloidal properties of such particles. We describe the results of experiments to measure the zeta potential of metallic nanorod particles in aqueous saline solutions, including the effects of pH, ionic strength, metallic composition, and surface functionalization state. Particle substrates tested include gold, silver, and palladium monometallic particles as well as gold/silver bimetallic particles. Surface functionalization conditions included 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA), mercaptoethanol (ME), and mercaptoethanesulfonic acid (MESA) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), as well as MUA layers subsequently derivatized with proteins. For comparison, we present zeta potential data for typical charge-stabilized polystyrene particles. We compare experimental zeta potential data with theoretically predicted values for SAM-coated and bimetallic particles. The results of these studies are useful in predicting and controlling the aggregation, adhesion, and transport of functionalized metallic nanoparticles within microfluidic devices and other systems.     

Polymerization from the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes - preparation and characterization of nanocomposites

Single-walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized along their sidewalls with phenol groups using the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. These phenols could be further derivatized with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide, resulting in the attachment of atom transfer radical polymerization initiators to the sidewalls of the nanotubes. These initiators were found to be active in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and tert-butyl acrylate from the surface of the nanotubes. However, the polymerizations were not controlled, leading to the production of high molecular weight polymers with relatively large polydispersities. The resulting polymerized nanotubes were analyzed by IR, Raman spectroscopy, DSC, TEM, and AFM. The nanotubes functionalized with poly(methyl methacrylate) were found to be insoluble, while those functionalized with poly(tert-butyl acrylate) were soluble in a variety of organic solvents. The tert-butyl groups of these appended polymers could also be removed to produce nanotubes functionalized with poly(acrylic acid), resulting in structures that are soluble in aqueous solutions.     

Grafting of functionalized silica particles with poly(acrylic acid)

Two different methods to graft silica particles with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were studied. In the first method PAA was reacted with 1,1′‐carbonyldiimidazole to give functionalized PAA. The resulting activated carbonyl group reacted easily with 3‐aminopropyl‐functionalized silica at low temperatures. In the second method 3‐glycidoxypropyl‐functionalized silica particles were reacted directly with PAA by using magnesium chloride as a catalyst. Different molecular weights of PAAs were used in order to investigate the effect of molecular weight on grafting yields in both methods. The grafting yields were determined with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). All products were also investigated with IR. The results showed that the yields of reactions performed at ambient temperature by using 1,1′‐carbonyldiimidazole‐functionalized PAA were the same as with a direct reaction of unfunctionalized PAA and 3‐aminopropyl‐functionalized silica performed at 153°C. Also in reactions between 3‐glycidoxypropyl‐functionalized silica and PAA the yields were satisfactory. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
