NHS-ester functionalized poly(PEGMA) brushes on silicon surface for covalent protein immobilization

Poly(PEGMA) homopolymer brushes were developed by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) on the initiator-modified silicon surface (Si-initiator). Through covalent binding, protein immobilization on the poly(PEGMA) films was enabled by further NHS-ester functionalization of the poly(PEGMA) chain ends. The formation of polymer brushes was confirmed by assessing the surface composition (XPS) and morphology (atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM)) of the modified silicon wafer. The binding performance of the NHS-ester functionalized surfaces with two proteins horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and chicken immunoglobulin (IgG) was monitored by direct observation. These results suggest that this method which incorporates the properties of polymer brush onto the binding surfaces may be a good strategy suitable for covalent protein immobilization.     

Controlled/“living” atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the synthesis of triblock copolymers from a poly(oxyethylene) macroinitiator

Atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by a poly(oxyethylene) macroinitiator by the esterification of PEG 1500 with 2-chloro propionyl chloride was synthesized. These polymerization proceeds both in bulk and solution with a quantitative initiation efficiency, leading to A-B-A triblock copolymers. The macroinitiators and their block copolymers were characterized by FT-IR, FT-NMR and GPC analyses. In bulk polymerization, the kinetic study showed that the relationship between ln[M]₀/[M] vs time was linear showing that there is a constant concentration of active species throughout the polymerization and follow the first order kinetics with respect to monomer. Moreover, the experimental molecular weight of the block copolymers increased linearly with the monomer conversion and the polydispersity index remained between 1.3 and 1.5 throughout the polymerization. No formation of homo poly(methyl methacrylate) could also be detected, and all this confirms that the bulk polymerization proceeds in a controlled/“living” manner.

Atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene from different poly(ethylene terephthalate) surfaces: Films, fibers and fabrics

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester used in many fields. For a variety of applications, however, it is necessary to impart desired properties by introducing specific functional groups on the surface. A simple method for growing polymer brushes by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) on PET films, fibers and fabrics was devised. The different PET surfaces were first reacted with 1,2-diaminoethane by aminolysis reaction to incorporate primary amino and alcohol functions on the surface. Then, in a second step, ATRP initiator was grafted by reaction with bromoisobutyryl bromide. The efficiency of these reactions was confirmed by using colorimetric titration and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Surface-initiated ATRP was performed in bulk using styrene monomer with CuBr/PMDETA catalytic system in the presence of a sacrificial initiator (ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate). Good control of the polymerization was obtained as attested by comparison of polystyrene molar masses obtained in solution from sacrificial initiator with those obtained from the surface after cleavage. Wetting properties were found to vary systematically depending to the type of functionalization and grafting. Evolution of surface morphology according to reaction steps was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM).     

Crystallization behavior and electroactive properties of PVDF,P(VDF-TrFE) and their blend films

PVDF, poly(vinylidene fluoride), as a semi-crystalline polymer, has interesting electroactive properties but usual melt and solution processing techniques result in its thermodynamically favored non-polar α-phase. By comparison, poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) P(VDF-TrFE), PT for short, directly crystallizes in the polar β-phase under the same conditions as PVDF. In this study, blend thin films comprising PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) were prepared by solvent casting method. The difference in the crystallization behavior is comprehensively investigated between the polymers: PVDF, P(VDF-TrFE), and the resulting blend films. It is found that replacement of the fluoride atom in TrFE monomer induces a strong steric hindrance that may alter the crystallization process to become more favorable for nucleation of the PVDF β-phase. To figure out the effect of TrFE content on the crystallization behavior and electroactive properties, films with different blend ratios of PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) were prepared. We found that the PVDF films exhibit higher crystallization activation energy (ΔE) as PT content increases. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) in the piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) mode illustrated that P5T5 films with equal contents of PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) induced the highest d₃₃ values.     

Synthesis of a PEG-PNIPAm thermosensitive dendritic copolymer and investigation of its self-association

A Novel thermosensitive dendritic copolymer based on polyethylene glycol(PEG) and poly(Nisopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAm) with a cloud point(CP) around 36 ?C was successfully synthesized by preparation of a dendritic polyol and followed by atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP) of N-isopropylacrylamide. The dendritic copolymer was characterized using gel-permeation chromatography(GPC), FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The selfassociation behavior of the copolymer in aqueous medium was investigated by dynamic light scattering(DLS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). These investigations confirmed that the dendritic copolymer showed different association behaviors at various temperatures.

Synthesis and MALDI-TOF-MS of PS-PMA and PMA-PS block copolymers

The synthesis of well-defined block copolymers from styrene and methyl acrylate via ATRP is discussed in this contribution. Kinetic studies on these block copolymerizations as well as characterization studies were performed to investigate the monomer composition in the respective PS and PMA blocks. MALDI-TOF-MS was performed to clarify the exact number of repeating units of each block and the total number of units in the block copolymer. Block copolymers up to 22 kDa could be analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS, whereby polymers with PMA as first block showed a large second distribution corresponding to PMA homopolymers. However, SEC demonstrated that only a small amount of homopolymer was present indicating that care needs to be taken with interpreting MALDI-TOF-MS data, which is a qualitative rather than a quantitative technique.

MICRON CORE-SHELL PARTICLES PREPARED BY GRAFTING POLYMERIZATION OF METHYL METHACRYLATE FROM NARROW DISPERSE SURFACE OF CHLOROMETHYLATED POLYDIVINYLBENZENE VIA ATRP

Grafting of poly(methyl methacrylate) from narrow disperse polymer particles by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was investigated. Polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) particles were prepared by dispersion polymerization with poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as the stabilizer. Chloromethylated PDVB was used as initiating core sites for subsequent ATRP of methyl methacrylate with CuBr/bpy as catalyst system. It was found that poly(methyl methacrylate) was grafted not only from the particle surfaces but also from within a thin shell layer, leading to particles size increases from 2.38-3.00 μm with a core-shell structure particles. The grafted core-shell particles were characterized with FTIR, SEM, DSC.

The presence of allyloxy functionality was confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The reactivity of allyloxy functionality was demonstrated by carrying out organic reactions such as addition of bromine and hydrosilylation on polystyrene macromonomer. Polystyrene macromonomer with bis-allyloxy functionality was transformed into bis-epoxy functionalized polystyrene macromonomer using 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid.
