Well-defined Poly(lactic acid)s Containing Poly(ethylene glycol) Side-chains

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side-chain functionalized lactide analogues have been synthesized in four steps from commercially available L-lactide. The key step in the synthesis is the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between PEG-azides and a highly strained spirolactide-heptene monomer, which proceeds in high conversions. The PEG-grafted lactides analogues were polymerized via ring-opening polymerization using triazacyclodecene as organocatalyst to give well-defined tri- and hepta-(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactide)s (PLA) with molecular weights above 10 kDa and polydispersity indices between 1.6 and 2.1. PEG-poly(lactide) (PLA) with PEG chain M(n) 2000 was also prepared but GPC analysis showed a bimodal profile indicating the presence of starting macromonomer. Cell adhesion assays were performed using MC3T3 E-1 osteoblast-like cells demonstrating that PEG-containing PLA reduces cell adhesion significantly when compared to unfunctionalized PLA.     

Micellization and Thermogelation of Poly(ether urethane)s Comprising Poly(ethylene glycol) and Poly(propylene glycol)

A series of multiblock poly(ether urethane)s comprising poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) segments were synthesized.

The composition and structural information of the copolymers were studied by GPC and ¹H NMR. The critical micellization concentration (CMC) and thermodynamic parameters for micelle formation were determined at different temperatures. The temperature response of the copolymer solutions were studied and found to be associated with the composition of the copolymers.

Fabrication of Gene Carrier via Self-assembly of Poly[(dimethylamino)ethyl Methacrylate] and Poly(aspartic acid)-grafted-Poly(ethylene glycol)

A biocompatible complex has been prepared as gene carrier via electrostatic interaction, which is composed of a polycation, that is, poly[(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] end-capped with cholesterol moiety (Chol-PDMAEMA₃₀), along with a polyanion named poly(aspartic acid)-grafted-poly(ethylene glycol) (PASP-g-PEG). The complexes have less cytotoxicity compared to the case of alone Chol-PDMAEMA₃₀ or branched polyethylenimine (PEI) system.

In the present study, biocompatible complexes have been prepared as gene carrier via electrostatic interaction, which is composed of a polycation, that is, poly[(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] end-capped with cholesterol moiety (Chol-PDMAEMA₃₀), along with a polyanion named poly(aspartic acid)-grafted-poly(ethylene glycol) (PASP-g-PEG). We first synthesized polysuccinimide (PSI) via condensation polymerization of aspartic acid, and then used PEG-NH₂ to react with the partial pentacyclic rings of PSI to yield a kind of graft copolymer polysuccinimide-grafted-poly(ethylene glycol) (PSI-g-PEG). After hydrolysis of the residual succinimide units, a new biodegradable and biocompatible graft copolymer PASP-g-PEG was prepared successfully. Chol-PDMAEMA₃₀ was synthesized via oxyanion-initiated polymerization, as reported in our previous literature. We investigated the interactions between every pair among calf thymus DNA, Chol-PDMAEMA₃₀, and PASP-g-PEG by agarose gel retardation assay. The results indicate that the prepared complexes could completely bind DNA and may become more stable during systemic circulation. The complexes have less cytotoxicity compared to the case of alone Chol-PDMAEMA₃₀ or branched polyethylenimine (PEI) system. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties of the complexes were also investigated by zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. These biodegradable and biocompatible polymeric carriers have potential applications in gene delivery.     

Effects of Ethylene Oxide Spacer Length on solution Properties of Water—Soluble Fluorocarbon—Containing Hydrophobically Associating Poly（Acrylic Acid—co—Rf—PEG Macromonomer）

Bioresorbable Hydrogels Prepared Through Stereocomplexation between Poly(L‐lactide) and Poly(D‐lactide) Blocks Attached to Poly(ethylene glycol)

Block copolymers were synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization of L ‐lactide or D ‐lactide in the presence of mono‐ or dihydroxyl poly(ethylene glycol), using zinc metal as catalyst. The resulting copolymers were characterized by various techniques, namely ¹H NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X‐ray diffractometry, and Raman spectrometry. The composition of the copolymers was designed such that they were water soluble. Bioresorbable hydrogels were prepared from aqueous solutions containing both poly(L ‐lactide)/poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(D ‐lactide)/poly(ethylene glycol) block copolymers. Rheological studies confirmed the formation of hydrogels resulting from stereocomplexation between poly(L ‐lactide) and poly(D ‐lactide) blocks.

Development of Poly(urethane esteramide) Coatings from Pongamia glabra Oil as Anticorrosive Applications

In this study, ethylene glycol polyesteramide (Eg-PEA) was synthesized from N,N-bis (2-hydroxy ethyl) pongamia oil fatty amide and ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) through condensation polymerization. It was further modified by toluene 2,4-diisocynate in different wt.% (20, 25, 30, and 35) to obtain urethane-modified polyesteramide (Eg-UPEA). The synthesized resins were characterized using FT-IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic techniques, and molecular weight was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Physico-chemical and physico-mechanical analyses were carried out by standard laboratory methods. Thermal studies of Eg-UPEA were undertaken by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. To evaluate corrosion prevention performance Eg-UPEA-coated mild steel strips were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization in different corrosive media (5 wt.% NaCl, 3 wt.% HCL, 2.5 wt.% NaOH, and tap water) at room temperature. Thermal analysis revealed that Eg-UPEA30 may find application as an environmentally friendly corrosion protective coating and may be safely used up to 250°C.
