Preparation of azo polyelectrolyte self-assembled multilayers by using N,N-dimethylformamide/H2O mixtures as solvents

N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF)/H₂O mixtures were used as solvents to fabricate azo polyelectrolyte (PEAPH)/poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride)(PDAC) self-assembled multilayers with the layer-by-layer electrostatic adsorption technique. PEAPH is a copolymer of acrylic acid and azobenzene-containing acrylate. The effect of the ratio of DMF to water on the multilayer growth, structure and surface morphology was studied in some details. Results show that DMF/H₂O mixtures are proper media for PEAPH/PDAC multilayer fabrication. The ratio of DMF to water in the mixture has significant influence on the multilayer structure and surface morphology. With the increase of DMF content, the multilayer thickness has a better linear growth relationship with the bilayer number, and the multilayer surface becomes smoother. Moreover, azo chromophores show less H-aggregation when the multilayers are fabricated from DMF/H₂O mixtures with higher DMF contents. These studies demonstrate that using organic solvent and water mixtures is an effective way to control the multilayer construction by adjusting the media properties. This method can be applied to multilayer fabrication of other water-insoluble polyelectrolytes. __________ Translated from Acta Polymerica Sinica, 2005, (4) (in Chinese)     

Novel Azobenzene-Functionalized Polyelectrolytes of Different Substituted Head Groups 3: Control of Properties of Self-Assembled Multilayer Thin Films

Novel azobenzene polyelectrolytes have been used to fabricate biocompatible self-assembled multilayer (SAMU) thin films of variable absorbance, thickness, organization, and morphology. The prepared SAMU films are useful for directed cell growth, and this application relies directly on control of contact and surface energy, and requires the ability to tune the surface characteristics which are critical to their development. The azo polyelectrolytes employed here were similar in their degree of polymerization and repeat unit composition of acrylic acid monomer and azo monomers, and only differ from each other due to the presence of different substituted head R-groups present on the p-position of the aromatic ring of the azo chromophores. Possession of characteristics of both the self-assembly due to acrylic acid groups, and photoswitchability of the azo monomer enable the azobenzene functionalized polyelectrolytes to exhibit novel photo-reversible applications. The azo polyelectrolytes with the substituted R-group pairs of shorter-ionized hydrophilic COOH and SO₃H, shorter-non-ionized hydrophobic H and OC₂H₅, and larger-nonionized hydrophobic octyl C₈H₁₇ and C₈F₁₇ were used as polyanions and counter charge PDAC used as polycation to fabricate the layer-by-layer SAMU films onto glass and silicon substrates. The fabricated SAMU films were also characterized by various techniques. The UV absorption maxima, λ_max p of the SAMU films move to lower wavelength relative to solution to exhibit a blue shift for the hydrophobic R-groups, while this behaviour was not observed for the hydrophilic R-groups. Similarly, the thickness, organization, morphology and other properties of the thin films were found to be dependent on the type of substituted R-groups of the azo polyelectrolytes due to the inter-related factors of ionization, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, solubility, and aggregation of azo PEL in the dipping solutions used for fabrication of the SAMU films. Understanding and controlling the adsorption characteristics of azo multilayer thin–film of switchable functionalities are vital to explore their potential for the development and application of new devices in diverse areas of biosensor, drug delivery systems, on-chip microscale chemical process and microfluidics systems.     

Novel Azobenzene-Functionalized Polyelectrolytes of Different Substituted Head Groups 2: Control of Surface Wetting in Self-Assembled Multilayer Films

A novel set of light-responsive polyelectrolytes has been developed and studied, to control and tune surface wettability by introducing various types of substituted R head-groups of azo polyelectrolytes in self-assembled multilayer (SAMU) films. As part of a larger project to develop polymer surfaces where one can exert precise control over properties important to proteins and cells in contact, photo-reversibly, we describe here how one can tune quite reliably the contact angle of a biocompatible SAMU, containing a photo-reversible azo chromophore for eventual directed cell growth. The azo polyelectrolytes described here have different substituted R head-group pairs of shorter-ionized hydrophilic COOH and SO₃H, shorter non-ionized hydrophobic H and OC₂H₅, and larger non-ionized hydrophobic octyl C₈H₁₇ and C₈F₁₇, and were employed as polyanions to fabricate the SAMU onto silicon substrates by using the counter-charge polycation PDAC. The prepared SAMU films were primarily characterized by measurement of their contact angles with water. The surface wetting properties of the thin films were found to be dependent on the type of substituted R-groups of the azo polyelectrolytes through their degree of ionization, size, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, solubility, conformation, and inter-polymeric association and intra-polymeric aggregation. All these factors appeared to be inter-related, and influenced variations in hydrophobic/hydrophilic character to different extents of aggregates/non-aggregates in solution because of solvation effects of the azo polyanions, and were thus manifested when adsorbed as thin films via the SAMU deposition process. For example, one interesting observation is significantly higher contact angles of 79° for SAMU films of larger octyl R groups of PAPEA-C₈F₁₇ and PAPEA-C₈H₁₇ than for others with contact angles of 64° observed for non-polar R-groups of OC₂H₅ and H. Furthermore, lower contact angle values of 59° for SAMU films with polar R-groups of COOH and SO₃H relative to that of non-polar R-groups are in accordance with their expected order of the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity. It is possible that the large octyl groups are more effective in shielding the ionic functional groups on the substrate surface, and contributed less to the water drop-molecule interactions with ionic groups of the PDAC and/or AA groups. In addition, higher hydrophobicity of the SAMU films may be due to the incorporation of bulky and hydrophobic groups in these polyelectrolytes, which can produce aggregates on the surfaces of the SAMU films. Through understanding and controlling the complex aggregation behavior of the different substituted R-groups of these azo polyelectrolytes, and hence their adsorption on substrates, it appears possible to finely tune the surface energy of these biocompatible films over a wide range, enhance the photo-switching capabilities of the SAMU films, and tailor other surface properties for the development and application of new devices in diverse areas of microfluidics, specialty coatings, sensors, and biomedical sciences.
