Automated image-based method for laboratory screening of coating libraries for adhesion of algae and bacterial biofilms

Assessment and down-selection of non-biocidal coatings that prevent the adhesion of fouling organisms in the marine environment requires a hierarchy of laboratory methods to reduce the number of experimental coatings for field testing. Automated image-based methods are described that facilitate rapid, quantitative biological screening of coatings generated through combinatorial polymer chemistry. Algorithms are described that measure the coverage of bacterial and algal biofilms on coatings prepared in 24-well plates and on array panels, respectively. The data are used to calculate adhesion strength of organisms on experimental coatings. The results complement a number of physical and mechanical methods developed to screen large numbers of samples.     

Superhydrophilic and superoleophobic chitosan-based nanocomposite coatings for oil/water separation

To overcome easy oil fouling and poor efficiency of traditional oil/water separation materials, superhydrophilic and superoleophobic coatings were fabricated by spray casting chitosan (CTS)-based nanocomposites. The molecular rearrangement of hydrophilic and oleophobic constituents, combined with the hierarchical rough surface structures, enabled a coating with a water contact angle of 0° and a hexadecane contact angle of 157° ± 1°. Hexadecane droplets can easily slide off the dried and water-wetted coating without leaving any obvious oily trailing stains. When the superhydrophilic and superoleophobic CTS-based nanocomposite coatings were applied to oil/water separation, they exhibited excellent anti-fouling capacity, high separation efficiency and easy recyclability. The superhydrophilic and superoleophobic CTS-based coating would be a good candidate for the treatment of industrial oil-polluted water and the cleanup of oil spills.     

Tethering hydrophilic polymer brushes onto PPESK membranes via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization

Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used to graft hydrophilic comb-like poly((poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate), or P(PEGMA), brushes from chloromethylated poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (CMPPESK) membrane surfaces. Prior to ATRP, chloromethylation of PPESK was beforehand performed and the obtained CMPPESK was prepared into porous membranes by phase inversion process. It was demonstrated that the benzyl chloride groups on the CMPPESK membrane surface afforded effective macroinitiators to graft the well-defined polymer brushes. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the grafting of P(PEGMA) chains. Water contact angle measurements indicated that the introduction of P(PEGMA) graft chains promoted remarkably the surface hydrophilicity of PPESK membranes. The effects of P(PEGMA) immobilization on membrane morphology, permeability and fouling resistance were investigated. It was found that the comb-like P(PEGMA) grafts brought smaller pore diameters and higher solute rejections to PPESK membranes. The results of dynamic anti-fouling experiments showed the anti-fouling ability of the membranes was significantly improved after the grafting of P(PEGMA) brushes.     

Ion-exchange and permselectivity properties of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) coatings on glassy carbon: application in the modification of mercury film electrodes for the direct voltammetric analysis of trace metals in estuarine waters

The present work describes the optimisation and characterization of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)-coated thin mercury film electrodes (PSS-TMFE) for the direct analysis of trace metals in estuarine waters by square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SW-ASV). The morphology, thickness and ion exchange ability of the poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) coatings onto glassy carbon were evaluated and these features particularly favoured the incorporation of cationic species, such as dopamine or lead cation. For the case of the heavy metal cations, a simple, sensitive and very reproducible methodology for their SW-ASV analysis could be developed. In fact, with the PSS-TMFE, a significant increase in the sensitivity of the ASV determination of lead was obtained compared both to the uncoated TMFE (ca. 82%) as well as to Nafion-coated electrodes of similar thickness (ca. 43-49%). Furthermore, the permselectivity of the poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) coatings, based both on electrostatic interaction and molecular size, leads to an improved anti-fouling ability against surfactant species. The analytical usefulness of the poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)-coated thin mercury film electrodes is demonstrated by application to the direct ASV determination of trace heavy metals at the low nanomolar level, in estuarine waters with moderate contents of dissolved organic matter, where the uncoated TMFE failed due to fouling.     

Detection of Nitrite Using Electrodes Modified with an Electrodeposited Ruthenium-Containing Polymer

Abstract

The electrochemical detection of nitrite in flowing solutions using a polymer modified electrode with electrocatalytic properties is described. The modifier was an electrodeposited polymer film of the [Ru(bpy)₂(vpy)₂+²⁺ complex, where bpy is 2,2′ bypyridyl and vpy is 4-vinylpyridine. The modified electrodes showed the ability to enhance the nitrite response and avoid surface fouling. The electrodeposited films exhibited higher mechanical stability than similar chemisorbed coatings.     

Modulation of Living Cell Behavior with Ultra‐Low Fouling Polymer Brush Interfaces

Ultra‐low fouling and functionalizable coatings represent emerging surface platforms for various analytical and biomedical applications such as those involving examination of cellular interactions in their native environments. Ultra‐low fouling surface platforms as advanced interfaces enabling modulation of behavior of living cells via tuning surface physicochemical properties are presented and studied. The state‐of‐art ultra‐low fouling surface‐grafted polymer brushes of zwitterionic poly(carboxybetaine acrylamide), nonionic poly(N‐(2‐hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide), and random copolymers of carboxybetaine methacrylamide (CBMAA) and HPMAA [p(CBMAA‐co‐HPMAA)] with tunable molar contents of CBMAA and HPMAA are employed. Using a model Huh7 cell line, a systematic study of surface wettability, swelling, and charge effects on the cell growth, shape, and cytoskeleton distribution is performed. This study reveals that ultra‐low fouling interfaces with a high content of zwitterionic moieties (>65 mol%) modulate cell behavior in a distinctly different way compared to coatings with a high content of nonionic HPMAA. These differences are attributed mostly to the surface hydration capabilities. The results demonstrate a high potential of carboxybetaine‐rich ultra‐low fouling surfaces with high hydration capabilities and minimum background signal interferences to create next‐generation bioresponsive interfaces for advanced studies of living objects.     

Reactive Polymer Coatings: A General Route to Thiol‐ene and Thiol‐yne Click Reactions

Reactive polymer coatings were synthesized via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization process. These coatings decouple surface design from bulk properties of underlying materials and provide a facile and general route to support thiol‐ene and thiol‐yne reactions on a variety of substrate materials. Through the reported technique, surface functions can be activated through a simple design of thiol‐terminated molecules such as polyethylene glycols (PEGs) or peptides (GRGDYC), and the according biological functions were demonstrated in controlled and low‐fouling protein adsorptions as well as accurately manipulated cell attachments.     

Biomimetic hemocompatible coatings through immobilization of hyaluronan derivatives on metal surfaces

Biomimetic coatings offer exciting options to modulate the biocompatibility of biomaterials. The challenge is to create surfaces that undergo specific interactions with cells without promoting nonspecific fouling. This work reports an innovative approach toward biomimetic surfaces based on the covalent immobilization of a carboxylate terminated PEGylated hyaluronan (HA-PEG) onto plasma functionalized NiTi alloy surfaces. The metal substrates were aminated via two different plasma functionalization processes. Hyaluronan, a natural glycosaminoglycan and the major constituent of the extracellular matrix, was grafted to the substrates by reaction of the surface amines with the carboxylic acid terminated PEG spacer using carbodiimide chemistry. The surface modification was monitored at each step by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). HA-immobilized surfaces displayed increased hydrophilicity and reduced fouling, compared to bare surfaces, when exposed to human platelets (PLT) in an in vitro assay with radiolabeled platelets (204.1 +/- 123.8 x 10 (3) PLT/cm (2) vs 538.5 +/- 100.5 x 10 (3) PLT/cm (2) for bare metal, p < 0.05). Using a robust plasma patterning technique, microstructured hyaluronan surfaces were successfully created as demonstrated by XPS chemical imaging. The bioactive surfaces described present unique features, which result from the synergy between the intrinsic biological properties of hyaluronan and the chemical composition and morphology of the polymer layer immobilized on a metal surface.

Efficient and robust coatings using poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) and its copolymers for marine and bacterial fouling prevention

Molecular design, fabrication, and properties of thin-film coatings based on poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMOX) and its copolymers were investigated to tackle problem of marine and bacterial fouling prevention. The ultraviolet crosslinkable macromonomer poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) dimethylacrylate was synthesized by cationic ring-opening polymerization in a microwave reactor initiated by 1,4-dibromobutane. In order to study the charge effect of the PMOX coatings on the adhesion of fouling organisms, PMOX surfaces with negative, neutral, and positive ζ-potential values were prepared by copolymerization with the positively charged monomer [2-(methacryloyloxy)-ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride. The coatings were stable in sea water for at least 1 month without significant reduction in the film thickness. The marine antifouling activity was evaluated against barnacle cyprids Amphibalanus amphitrite and algae Amphora coffeaeformis. Results showed that PMOX coatings provide effective reduction of the settlement regardless of the molar mass and surface charge of the polymer. Bacterial adhesion test showed that PMOX coatings effectively reduce Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli adhesion. Owing to its good stability and antifouling activity PMOX has a great potential as antifouling coating for marine antifouling applications. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.
