Sulfobetaine-based polymer brushes in marine environment: is there an effect of the polymerizable group on the antifouling performance? Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2014; 120:118-24. [PMID: 24907581 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2014.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2014] [Revised: 03/29/2014] [Accepted: 04/17/2014] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Three different zwitterionic polymer brush coatings for marine biofouling control were prepared by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of sulfobetaine-based monomers including methacrylamide (SBMAm), vinylbenzene (SBVB) and vinylimidazolium (SBVI). None of these brush systems have been assessed regarding marine antifouling performance. Antifouling tests performed indicate that surfaces featuring these three brush systems substantially reduce the adhesion of the marine microalgae, Amphora coffeaeformis, and the settlement of cyprid larvae of the barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite, in a similar way, displaying comparable performance. Thus, it appears that the chemical structure of the polymerizable group has no substantial influence on marine antifouling performance.

Abstract
We systematically investigate the assembly of multilayers based on a polyzwitterion (PSBMA) and a polycation (PDADMAC) for the development of ionic strength responsive membranes. Although the polyzwitterion is essentially charge neutral, we show that specific electrostatic interactions with the PDADMAC allow for the formation of stable multilayers. The growth of this LbL system is monitored on model surfaces (silica) via optical reflectometry for different pH values and ionic strengths. While no effect of pH on the layer growth is observed, we did observe a strong dependence on the ionic strength. Upon increasing the ionic strength during deposition from 0.005 to 0.5 M NaCl, the adsorbed amount is significantly decreased, a behavior that is opposite to classical LbL systems. Similar results to those obtained on silica are also observed on top of classical LbL systems and on polymeric membranes. This demonstrates that the growth of the polyzwitterion multilayers is independent of the substrate. Coating these polyzwitterion multilayers on hollow fiber membranes via dip-coating yields membranes that are stimuli responsive toward the ionic strength of the filtration solution, with an increase in permeability of up to 108% from 0 to 1.5 M NaCl. We show that the fabrication of the polyzwitterion multilayers is an easy and controlled way to provide surfaces, such as membranes, with the specific functionalities of polyzwitterions.

Abstract
A novel polysaccharide-based zwitterionic copolymer, agarose-graft-poly[3-dimethyl (methacryloyloxyethyl) ammonium propanesulfonate] (agarose-g-PDMAPS) with UCST, depending both on hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction, was synthesized by ATRP, and its aggregation behavior in aqueous media was investigated in detail. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and gel-permeation chromatography were performed to characterize the copolymer. Thermosensitive behaviors of the copolymers in water, NaCl, and urea solution were tracked by ultraviolet, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. It was found that the copolymers existed as "core-shell" spheres at an elevated temperature, as a result of the self-assembly of the agarose backbones located in the "core" driven by hydrogen-bonding interactions. When the copolymer solution was cooled below UCST, the core-shell spheres began to aggregate because of the electrostatic interactions and collapse of PDMAPS side chains in the "shell" layer. UCST of the copolymer could be tuned in a wide range, depending on the chain lengths of PDMAPS. This is the first example to investigate the thermosensitivity, combining ionic interactions of the zwitterionic side chains with hydrogen bondings from the biocompatible agarose backbones. The synthetic strategy presented here can be employed in the preparation of other novel biomaterials from a variety of polysaccharides.

Abstract
The conformation of polyzwitterionic brushes plays a crucial role in the adsorption/desorption of proteins on solid surfaces. By use of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR), we have systematically investigated the conformational behavior of poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) brushes as a function of ionic strength in the presence of different ions. The frequency change demonstrates that the effectiveness of anions to weaken the inter/intrachain association and to enhance the hydration of the grafted chains increases from kosmotrope to chaotrope in the low ionic strength regime, but the ordering of anions is almost reversed at the high ionic strengths. The dissipation change indicates that some heterogeneous structures are formed inside the brushes in the presence of chaotropic anions with the increase of ionic strength. In SPR studies, the change of resonance unit (ΔRU) with ionic strength is determined by the balance between the increase of thickness and the decrease of refractive index of the brushes. No anion specificity is observed in the SPR measurements because ΔRU is insensitive to the coupled water molecules inside the brushes. For the control of protein adsorption/desorption, our studies show that the brushes can more effectively resist the protein adsorption in the presence of a more chaotropic anion and a more chaotropic anion can also more effectively induce the protein desorption from the surface of the brushes. In addition, no obvious cation specificity can be observed in the conformational change of the brushes in either QCM-D or SPR measurements.

Abstract
High colloidal stability in aqueous conditions is a prerequisite for fluorescent nanocrystals, otherwise known as "quantum dots", intended to be used in any long-term bioimaging experiment. This essential property implies a strong affinity between the nanoparticles themselves and the ligands they are coated with. To further improve the properties of the bidentate monozwitterionic ligand previously developed in our team, we synthesized a multidentate polyzwitterionic ligand, issued from the copolymerization of a bidentate monomer and a monozwitterionic one. The nanocrystals passivated by this polymeric ligand showed an exceptional colloidal stability, regardless of the medium conditions (pH, salinity, dilution, and biological environment), and we demonstrated the affinity of the polymer exceeded by 3 orders of magnitude that of the bidentate ligand (desorption rates assessed by a competition experiment). The synthesis of the multidentate polyzwitterionic ligand proved also to be easily tunable and allowed facile functionalization of the corresponding quantum dots, which led to successful specific biomolecules targeting.

Abstract
This review focuses on polymers with upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in water or electrolyte solution and provides a detailed survey of the yet few existing examples. A guide for synthetic chemists for the design of novel UCST polymers is presented and possible handles to tune the phase transition temperature, sharpness of transition, hysteresis, and effectiveness of phase separation are discussed. This review tries to answer the question why polymers with UCST remained largely underrepresented in academic as well as applied research and what requirements have to be fulfilled to make these polymers suitable for the development of smart materials with a positive thermoresponse.

Abstract
We demonstrate the electrochemical switching of conformation of surface-bound polymer brushes, by grafting environmentally sensitive polymer brushes from an electrochemically active conducting polymer (ECP). Using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), we grafted zwitterionic betaine homopolymer and block copolymer brushes of poly(3-(methacryloylamido)propyl)-N,N'-dimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide) (PMPDSAH) and poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-PMPDSAH, from an initiator, surface-coupled to a poly(pyrrole-co-pyrrolyl butyric acid) film. The changes in ionic solution composition in the surface layer, resulting from oxidation and reduction of the ECP, trigger a switch in conformation of the surface-bound polymer brushes, demonstrated here by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and in a change of wettability. The switch is dependent upon temperature in a way that is analogous to the temperature-dependent solubility and aggregation of similar betaine polymers in aqueous solution but has a quite different dependence on salt concentration in solution. The switch is fully reversible and reproducible. We interpret the switching behavior in terms of a transition to a "supercollapsed" state on the surface that is controlled by ions that balance the charge state of the ECP and are adsorbed to the opposite charges of the zwitterionic graft, close to the graft-ECP interface. The behavior is significantly modified by hydrophobic interactions of the block copolymer graft. We speculate that the synergistic combination of properties embodied in these "smart" materials may find applications in electrochemical control of surface wetting and in the interaction with biomolecules and living cells.

Abstract
Biocompatible and zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) was grafted onto the surface of initiator-modified silica nanoparticles via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. The resultant samples were characterized via nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Their molecular weights and molecular weight distributions were determined via gel permeation chromatography after the removal of silica by etching. Moreover, the phase behavior of these polyzwitterionic-grafted silica nanoparticles in aqueous solutions and stability in protein/PBS solutions were systematically investigated. Dynamic light scattering and UV-visible spectroscopy results indicate that the silica-g-PSBMA nanoparticles exhibit an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in aqueous solutions, which can be controlled by varying the PSBMA molecular weight, ionic strength, silica-g-PSBMA nanoparticle concentration, and solvent polarity. The UCSTs shift toward high temperatures with increasing PSBMA molecular weight and silica-g-PSBMA nanoparticle concentration. However, increasing the ionic strength and solvent polarity leads to a lowering of the UCSTs. The silica-g-PSBMA nanoparticles are stable for at least 72 h in both negative and positive protein/PBS solutions at 37 °C. The current study is crucial for the translation of polyzwitterionic solution behavior to surfaces to exploit their diverse properties in the development of new, smart, and responsive coatings.

Abstract
This work describes a tunable blood compatibility of zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (polySBMA) polymers at a wide range of high molecular weights from 50 kDa to 300 kDa controlled with a similar polydispersity via homogeneous free-radical polymerization. The control of molecular weights of polySBMA highly regulates the zwitterionic nonfouling nature to resist the adsorption of plasma proteins, the coagulant of human plasma, and the hemolysis of red blood cells. In this study, the upper critical solution temperatures (UCSTs) and hydrodynamic size of prepared polymers are determined to illustrate the correlations between intermolecular zwitterionic associations and blood compatibility of polySBMA suspension in human blood. The polySBMA exhibited clear shifts of UCSTs in the stimuli-responsive control of solution pH and ionic strength, which were strongly associated with the molecular weights of the prepared polymers. Plasma-protein adsorption onto the polySBMA polymers from single-protein solutions and the complex medium of 100% human plasma were measured by dynamic light scattering to determine the nonfouling stability of polySBMA suspension. It was found that the nonfouling nature as well as hydration capability of polySBMA can be effectively controlled via regulated molecular weights of zwitterionic polymers. This work shows that the polySBMA polymer with an optimized molecular weight of about 135 kDa at physiologic temperature is presented high hydration capability to function the best nonfouling character of anticoagulant activity and antihemolytic activity in human blood. The excellent blood compatibility of zwitterionic polySBMA along with their stimuli-responsive phase behavior in aqueous solution suggests their potential for use in blood-contacting targeted delivery and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
A novel electrolyte-responsive membrane, RC-g-PSBMA, was successfully prepared from regenerated cellulose (RC) membrane through surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of a zwitterionic monomer, sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA). Different degrees of polymerization for the grafted SBMA polymers (i.e., PSBMA) on the RC membrane were easily obtained by adjusting the ATRP reaction conditions. The electrolyte-responsive behavior of RC-g-PSBMA was first evaluated through the permeation experiments with sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions of different concentrations. It was found that the permeability of RC-g-PSBMA showed a clear dependence on NaCl concentration in the solutions. To further examine the potential of RC-g-PSBMA for protein purification, bovine serum album (BSA) was chosen as a model protein and polystyrene nanoparticles (NPs) of different sizes were used as representative impurities in the solutions. The rejection rates of BSA and NPs by RC-g-PSBMA were examined with the solutions containing BSA and NPs at different NaCl concentrations. The results showed that the rejection rates of BSA were at a very low level regardless of the concentration of NaCl in the solutions, indicating that the membrane allowed BSA to permeate. However, the rejection rates of NPs of different sizes by RC-g-PSBMA changed remarkably with the concentration of NaCl in the solutions. The study has demonstrated the possibility to separate BSA from NPs of different sizes by using the same membrane but simply altering the concentration of NaCl in the solutions. Membranes with such properties will have a great potential for protein purification as well as for many other separation applications.

Abstract
We investigate the interactions between sulfobetaine-based polyzwitterions and polyelectrolytes, either positive or negative ones, i.e., poly(DADMAC)s and poly(AA)s. Three different sulfobetaine motifs denoted SPE, SPP, and SHPP have been considered, presenting slight chemical changes either in the function carrying the zwitterionic group or in the zwitterionic motif itself. All three poly(sulfobetaine)s normally present critical temperatures (T(c)) above which they become fully soluble. The association with polyelectrolytes directly affects the critical temperature in a highly nonmonotonic fashion as the mixture composition is varied. Thanks to layer-by-layer deposition in a reflectometric cell, we demonstrate that a selective attraction exists between polyzwitterions and polyelectrolytes, from which an association follows at a nanoscopic scale as demonstrated by small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy. The association of polyzwitterions with polyelectrolytes, however, is site-specific since it exists only between positive polyelectrolytes (i.e., polycations) and polyzwitterions based on SPE or SPP motifs. The range in which the association affects the critical temperature, T(c), is found to largely depend on the molecular weights of both zwitterionic and cationic species. As a result, the complexation and the creation of a hybrid object, referred to as a complex, also depend on the same parameters. By varying the latter from a few thousands to several millions, we define rules for the existence of this complex. In particular, a minimum polyzwitterion molecular weight is needed to observe alterations of the critical temperatures and closure of the complexation cone. Finally, within a Flory-like approach, we consider the polyzwitterion/polyelectrolyte complex as an effective statistical copolymer, whose composition comprises a fraction phi(A) of excess zwitterionic motifs as the majority species and a fraction 1 - phi(A) of complex motifs. We thereby reduce a polymer/polymer/solvent ternary system to a copolymer/solvent binary one, an assumption valid within the limit of small additions of cationic species. The approach predicts the reciprocal critical temperature 1/T(c) to be quadratic in phi(A), which agrees very well with all experimental results, even for a large mismatch between the molecular weights of both species, and regardless of the zwitterionic motif, SPE or SPP.
