[PMID: 38732737 PMCID: PMC11085100 DOI: 10.3390/polym16091267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Block copolymer (BCP) surfaces permit an exquisite level of nanoscale control in biomolecular assemblies solely based on self-assembly. Owing to this, BCP-based biomolecular assembly represents a much-needed, new paradigm for creating nanobiosensors and nanobiomaterials without the need for costly and time-consuming fabrication steps. Research endeavors in the BCP nanobiotechnology field have led to stimulating results that can promote our current understanding of biomolecular interactions at a solid interface to the never-explored size regimes comparable to individual biomolecules. Encouraging research outcomes have also been reported for the stability and activity of biomolecules bound on BCP thin film surfaces. A wide range of single and multicomponent biomolecules and BCP systems has been assessed to substantiate the potential utility in practical applications as next-generation nanobiosensors, nanobiodevices, and biomaterials. To this end, this Review highlights pioneering research efforts made in the BCP nanobiotechnology area. The discussions will be focused on those works particularly pertaining to nanoscale surface assembly of functional biomolecules, biomolecular interaction properties unique to nanoscale polymer interfaces, functionality of nanoscale surface-bound biomolecules, and specific examples in biosensing. Systems involving the incorporation of biomolecules as one of the blocks in BCPs, i.e., DNA-BCP hybrids, protein-BCP conjugates, and isolated BCP micelles of bioligand carriers used in drug delivery, are outside of the scope of this Review. Looking ahead, there awaits plenty of exciting research opportunities to advance the research field of BCP nanobiotechnology by capitalizing on the fundamental groundwork laid so far for the biomolecular interactions on BCP surfaces. In order to better guide the path forward, key fundamental questions yet to be addressed by the field are identified. In addition, future research directions of BCP nanobiotechnology are contemplated in the concluding section of this Review.

Abstract
Contact lenses are one of the most successful applications of biomaterials. The chemical structure of the polymers used in contact lenses plays an important role in determining the function of contact lenses. Different types of contact lenses have been developed based on the chemical structure of polymers. When designing contact lenses, materials scientists consider factors such as mechanical properties, processing properties, optical properties, histocompatibility, and antifouling properties, to ensure long-term wear with minimal discomfort. Advances in contact lens materials have addressed traditional issues such as oxygen permeability and biocompatibility, improving overall comfort, and duration of use. For example, silicone hydrogel contact lenses with high oxygen permeability were developed to extend the duration of use. In addition, controlling the surface properties of contact lenses in direct contact with the cornea tissue through surface polymer modification mimics the surface morphology of corneal tissue while maintaining the essential properties of the contact lens, a significant improvement for long-term use and reuse of contact lenses. This review presents the material science elements required for advanced contact lenses of the future and summarizes the chemical methods for achieving these goals.

Abstract
In this manuscript, we report the synthesis of zwitterionic copolymers and their ability to form antifouling coatings on porous hydroxyapatite as a mimic of dental coatings. Specifically, we systematically investigated how altering the composition of copolymers of catechol methacrylate (Cat-MA or 2) and methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (2-MPC) with varying catechol-to-zwitterion ratios impacted their adhesive and antifouling properties, allowing for the rational design of functional coatings. Characterization by ellipsometry, contact angle goniometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the presence of hydrophilic copolymer coatings of ∼10 nm thickness. Notably, these copolymers adhered to hydroxyapatite and reduced the level of attachment of both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Streptococcus oralis. Additionally, in vitro experiments that mimicked the complex mouth environment (i.e., swallowing and using mouthwash) were employed to evaluate S. oralis adhesion, finding that the copolymer coatings reduced the quantity of adhered bacteria. We suggest that these copolymers provide insights into the design of antifouling coatings that are appropriate for use in oral care.

Abstract
Soft interface materials have an immense potential for the improvement of biointerfaces, which are the interface of biological and artificially designed materials. Controlling the chemical and physical structures of the interfaces at the nanometer level plays an important role in understanding the mechanism of the functioning and its applications. Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) techniques, including atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization, have been developed in the field of precision polymer chemistry. It allows the formation of well-defined surfaces such as densely packed polymer brushes and self-assembled nanostructures of block copolymers. More recently, a novel technique to prepare polymers containing biomolecules, called biohybrids, has also been developed, which is a consequence of the advancement of CRP so as to proceed in an aqueous media with oxygen. This review article summarizes recent advances in CRP for the design of biointerfaces.

Abstract
The design of advanced nanobiomaterials to improve analytical accuracy and therapeutic efficacy has become an important prerequisite for the development of innovative nanomedicines. Recently, phospholipid nanobiomaterials including 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) have attracted great attention with remarkable characteristics such as resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption and cell adhesion for various biomedical applications. Despite many recent reports, there is a lack of comprehensive review on the phospholipid nanobiomaterials from synthesis to diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Here, we review the synthesis and characterization of phospholipid nanobiomaterials focusing on MPC polymers and highlight their attractive potentials for applications in micro/nanofabricated fluidic devices, biosensors, lab-on-a-chip, drug delivery systems (DDSs), COVID-19 potential usages for early diagnosis and even treatment, and artificial extracellular matrix scaffolds for cellular engineering.

Abstract
Rebuilding mineralized tissues in skeletal and dental systems remains costly and challenging. Despite numerous demands and heavy clinical burden over the world, sources of autografts, allografts, and xenografts are far limited, along with massive risks including viral infections, ethic crisis, and so on. Per such dilemma, artificial scaffolds have emerged to provide efficient alternatives. To date, cell-free biomimetic mineralization (BM) and cell-dependent scaffolds have both demonstrated promising capabilities of regenerating mineralized tissues. However, BM and cell-dependent scaffolds have distinctive mechanisms for mineral genesis, which makes them methodically, synthetically, and functionally disparate. Herein, these two strategies in regenerative dentistry and orthopedics are systematically summarized at the level of mechanisms. For BM, methodological and theoretical advances are focused upon; and meanwhile, for cell-dependent scaffolds, it is demonstrated how scaffolds orchestrate osteogenic cell fate. The summary of the experimental advances and clinical progress will endow researchers with mechanistic understandings of artificial scaffolds in rebuilding hard tissues, by which better clinical choices and research directions may be approached.

Abstract
Bulk blending is considered as one of the most effective and straightforward ways to improve the hemo-compatibility of blood-contacting polymeric biomaterials among many surface modification methods. Zwitterionic structure-, glycocalyx-like structure-, and heparin-like structure-based oligomers have been synthesized as additives and blended with base polymers to improve the blood compatibility of base polymers. Fluorinated end- and side-functionalized oligomers could promote the migration of functionalized groups to the surface of biomedical polymers without changing their bulk properties, and it highly depends on the number and concentration of functional groups. Moreover, oligomers having both zwitterion and fluorine are receiving considerable attention due to their desirable phase separation, which can avoid undesired protein adsorption and platelet adhesion. The surface analysis of the surface-modified materials is usually investigated by analytical tools such as contact angle measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Blood compatibility is mainly evaluated via platelet adhesion and protein adsorption test, and the result showed a significant decrease in the amount of undesirable adsorption. These analyses indicated that surface modification using bulk blending technique effectively improves blood compatibility of polymeric biomaterials.

Abstract
We report the fabrication, properties, and bacteria-resistance of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) coatings and free-standing films. Poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid), poly(diallyldimethyl-ammonium chloride), and salt were spin-coated into PEC films. After thermal annealing in a humid environment, highly transparent, mechanically strong, and chemically robust films were formed. Notably, we demonstrate that PEC coatings significantly reduce the attachment of Escherichia coli K12 without killing the micro-organisms. We suggest that forming bacteria-resistant surface coatings from commercially available polymers holds the potential for use across a wide range of applications including high-touch surfaces in medical settings.

Abstract
Molecules aggregate to form a structure through various interactions involving dispersion force, electrostatic force, and so on. In two-dimensional systems, a surface energetic effect is further important for the molecular aggregation structure. We show that the domain size and its morphology in the mixed monomolecular film composed of hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon skeletons with different surface free energies extremely change depending on pH and NaCl concentration in the subphase. Such morphological changes can be interpreted by the balance of dipole density and line tension, which help in the development of an understanding of phase separation phenomena and provide a novel technique for structural control in two dimensions.

Abstract
Poor osteogenesis and bacterial infections lead to an implant failure, so the enhanced osteogenic and antimicrobial activity of the implantable device is of great importance in orthopedic applications. In this study, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphocholine (MPC) was grafted onto 316L stainless steel (SS) using a facile photo-induced radical graft polymerization method via a benzophenone (BP) photo initiator. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was employed to determine the nanoscale morphological changes on the surface. The grafted BP-MPC layer was estimated to be tens of nanometers thick. The SS-BP-MPC composite was more hydrophilic and smoother than the untreated and BP-treated SS samples. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria binding onto the SS-BP-MPC composite film surface was significantly reduced compared with the pristine SS and SS-BP samples. Mouse pre-osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) cells showed good adhesion on the MPC-modified samples and better proliferation and metabolic activity (73% higher) than the pristine SS sample. Biological studies revealed that grafting MPC onto the SS substrate enhanced the antibacterial efficiency and also retained osteoblast biocompatibility. This proposed procedure is promising for use with other implant materials.

Abstract
Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is likely the most popular material for microfluidic devices in lab-on-a-chip and other biomedical applications. However, the hydrophobicity of PDMS leads to non-specific adsorption of proteins and other molecules such as therapeutic drugs, limiting its broader use. Here, we introduce a simple method for preparing PDMS materials to improve hydrophilicity and decrease non-specific protein adsorption while retaining cellular biocompatibility, transparency, and good mechanical properties without the need for any post-cure surface treatment. This approach utilizes smart copolymers comprised of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and PDMS segments (PDMS-PEG) that, when blended with PDMS during device manufacture, spontaneously segregate to surfaces in contact with aqueous solutions and reduce the hydrophobicity without any added manufacturing steps. PDMS-PEG-modified PDMS samples showed contact angles as low as 23.6° ± 1° and retained this hydrophilicity for at least twenty months. Their improved wettability was confirmed using capillary flow experiments. Modified devices exhibited considerably reduced non-specific adsorption of albumin, lysozyme, and immunoglobulin G. The modified PDMS was biocompatible, displaying no adverse effects when used in a simple liver-on-a-chip model using primary rat hepatocytes. This PDMS modification method can be further applied in analytical separations, biosensing, cell studies, and drug-related studies.

Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:E613. [PMID: 30960597 PMCID: PMC6523416 DOI: 10.3390/polym11040613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2019] [Revised: 03/24/2019] [Accepted: 03/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Grubbs-catalyzed ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of carborane- and phosphonate-containing monomers has been used for the generation of hybrid block copolymers. Molecular weights with Mn of 50,000 g/mol were readily obtained with polydispersity index values, Đ, between 1.03⁻1.08. Reaction of the phospha ester and carborane substituted oxanorbornene block copolymer with trimethylsilyl bromide led to a new polymer with phosphonic acid functionalities. In application studies, the phospha-carborane functionalized block polymer was tested as heat resistance material. Thermal stability was investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and microscale combustion calorimetry (MCC) analysis. Thermal treatment and ceramic yield under air were directly correlated to the carborane content of the block copolymer. However, phosphorus content in the polymer was more crucial for the char residues when heated under nitrogen atmosphere. The peak heat release rate (PHRR) increased as the number of phosphonate functionalities increased. However, corresponding phosphonic acid derivatives featured a lower heat release rate and total heat release. Moreover, the phosphonic acid functionalities of the block copolymer offer efficient chelating capabilities for iron nanoparticles, which is of interest for applications in biomedicine in the future. The complexation with iron oxide nanoparticles was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP⁻MS).

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic three-dimensional (3D) fibrous network, surrounding all cells in vivo. Fiber manufacturing techniques are employed to mimic the ECM but still lack the knowledge and methodology to produce single fibers approximating cell size with different surface topographies to study cell-material interactions. Using solvent-assisted spinning (SAS), the potential to continuously produce single microscale fibers with unlimited length, precise diameter, and specific surface topographies was demonstrated. By applying solvents with different solubilities and volatilities, fibers with smooth, grooved, and porous surface morphologies are produced. Due to their hierarchical structures, the porous fibers are the most hydrophobic, followed by the grooved and the smooth fibers. The fiber diameter is increased by increasing the polymer concentration or decreasing the collector rotational speed. Moreover, SAS offers the advantage to control the interfiber distance and angle to fabricate multilayered 3D constructs. This report shows for the first time that the micro- and nanoscale topographies of single fibers mechanically regulate cell behavior. Fibroblasts, grown on fibers with grooved topographical features, stretch and elongate more compared to smooth and porous fibers, whereas both porous and grooved fibers induce nuclear translocation of yes-associated protein. The presented technique, therefore, provides a unique platform to study the interaction between cells and single ECM-like fibers in a precise and reproducible manner, which is of great importance for new material developments in the field of tissue engineering.

Abstract
Motivated by the various reported potential applications of poly(phosphine oxide) materials, a visible light photoinitiated iodo-ene reaction was successfully employed in network polymerization between the phosphorus-containing multifunctional monomer, tris(allyloxymethyl)phosphine oxide (TAOPO), and diiodoperfluorobutane. The cross-linked poly(phosphine oxide) network exhibited a higher glass transition temperature than a similarly cross-linked polymer formulated with trimethylolpropane triallyl ether (TMPTAE). Interestingly, the TMPTAE/DIPFB cross-linked polymer, changed color from clear to yellow within 10 min of exposure to air, whereas the cross-linked poly(phosphine oxide) underwent a similar change only upon heating. Upon investigation, it was determined that alkenes were generated within the polymer network, presumably via elimination, accounting for the observed color. These double bonds, formed in the polymer matrix, permitted surface modification via radical thiol-ene reaction. The successful surface functionalization with PEG-SH resulted in increasing the surface wettability. Additionally, the phosphorus-containing network polymer with double bonds in the polymer matrix showed shape memory capability, this representing an exciting and versatile materials platform.

Abstract
Spinal fusion and bone defects after injuries, removal of bone tumors, and infections require repair by implantation. In this study, we show self-assembling peptide (SPG-178) hydrogel-induced bone healing in vivo. Posterolateral lumbar fusion and tibial intramedullary models of rabbits were prepared. In the tibia model, micro-CT analysis revealed a significantly higher degree of newly formed bone matrix in the SPG-178 group compared to the other groups. SEM/3D micrographs showed that the cavity filled with SPG-178 had collagen fibers attached to host bone. After 28 days, samples from the SPG-178 group showed significant repair of the defect. In the posterolateral lumbar fusion models, micro-CT showed a tendency for a higher degree of newly formed bone matrix in the SPG-178 group compared to the β-TCP and bone chips only groups. Von Kossa staining showed marked new bone formation attached to the lamina that was most prominent at the implanted SPG-178 composite margin. SPG-178 is a material that is likely to be used in clinical applications because it has several benefits. These include its favorable bone conduction properties, its ability to act as a support for various cells and growth factors, its lack of infection risk compared with materials of animal origin such as ECM, and the ease with which it can be used to fill defects with complex shapes and be combined with a wide range of other materials. © 2018 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Novel polymer amphiphiles with chemical structures designed as zwitterionic analogs of Pluronic block copolymers were prepared by controlled free radical polymerization of phosphorylcholine (PC) or choline phosphate (CP) methacrylate monomers from a difunctional poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) macroinitiator. Well-defined, water-dispersible zwitterionic triblock copolymers, or "zwitteronics", were prepared with PC content ranging from 5 to 47 mol percent and composition-independent surfactant characteristics in water, which deviate from the properties of conventional Pluronic amphiphiles. These PC-zwitteronics assembled into nanoparticles in water, with tunable sizes and critical aggregation concentrations (CACs) based on their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB). Owing to the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) miscibility of the hydrophobic PPO block in water, PC-zwitteronics exhibited thermoreversible aqueous solubility tuned by block copolymer composition. The chemical versatility of this approach was demonstrated by embedding functionality, in the form of alkyne groups, directly into the zwitterion moieties. These alkynes proved ideal for cross-linking the zwitteronic nanoparticles and for generating nanoparticle-cross-linked hydrogels using UV-initiated thiol-yne "click" chemistry.

Abstract
Spinal fusion and bone defect after injuries, removal of bone tumors, and infections need to be repaired by implantation. In an aging society, recovery from these procedures is often difficult. In this study, we found that injection of SPG-178 leads to expression of several bone marker genes and mineralization in vitro, and revealed a significantly higher degree of newly formed bone matrix with use of SPG-178 in vivo. MC3T3-E1 cells were used to evaluate osteoblast differentiation promoted by SPG-178. To analyze gene expression, total RNA was isolated from MC3T3-E1 cells cultured for 7 and 14 days with control medium or SPG-178 medium. Among the several bone marker genes examined, SPG-178 significantly increased the mRNA levels for ALP, BMP-2 and Osteocalcin, OPN, BSP and for the Osterix. Ten-week-old female Wistar rats were used for all transplantation procedures. A PEEK cage was implanted into a bony defect (5 mm) within the left femoral mid-shaft, and stability was maintained by an external fixator. The PEEK cages were filled with either a SPG-178 hydrogel plus allogeneic bone chips (n = 4) or only allogeneic bone chips (n = 4). The rats were then kept for 56 days. Newly formed bone matrix was revealed inside the PEEK cage and there was an increased bone volume per total volume with the cage filled with SPG-178, compared to the control group. SPG-178 has potential in clinical applications because it has several benefits. These include its favorable bone conduction properties its ability to act as a support for various different cells and growth factors, its lack of infection risk compared with materials of animal origin such as ECM, and the ease with which it can be used to fill defects with complex shapes and combined with a wide range of other materials.

Abstract
The development of polymeric materials with cell adhesion abilities requires an understanding of cell-surface interactions which vary with cell type. To investigate the correlation between cell attachment and the nature of the polymer, a series of random and block copolymers composed of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate are synthesized through single electron transfer living radical polymerization. The polymers are synthesized with highly defined and controlled monomer compositions and exhibited narrow polydispersity indices. These polymers are examined for their performance in the attachment and growth of HeLa and HEK cells, with attachment successfully modeled on monomer composition and polymer chain length, with both cell lines found to preferentially attach to moderately hydrophobic functional materials. The understanding of the biological-material interactions assessed in this study will underpin further investigations of engineered polymer scaffolds with predictable cell binding performance.

Abstract
In this study, diffusion-induced hydrophobic-hydrophilic conversion of the surface of the cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate was realized by employing a simple swelling-deswelling process of PDMS substrate in a block-type polymer solution with the aim of development of a temporal cell-adhesive substrate. The ABA block-type polymer composed of poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) segment and PDMS segment with over 70% of dimethylsiloxane unit composition could be successfully incorporated in the PDMS substrate during the swelling-deswelling process to prepare the PDMS/phospholipid block copolymer hybrid substrates. During the aging process of the PDMS substrate for 4 days in aqueous medium, its surface property changed gradually from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy data provided strong evidence that the time-dependent hydrophilic conversion of the PDMS/block-type phospholipid polymer hybrid substrate was induced by the diffusion of the hydrophilic PMPC segment in the block-type polymer to be tethered on the substrate. During the hydrophilic conversion process, surface-adsorbed fibronectin was gradually desorbed from the substrate surface, and this resulted in successful detachment of two-dimensional connected cell crowds.

Abstract
Hydration is central to mitigating surface fouling by oil and microorganisms. Immobilization of hydrophilic polymers on surfaces promotes retention of water and a reduction of direct interactions with potential foulants. While conventional surface modification techniques are surface-specific, mussel-inspired adhesives based on dopamine effectively coat many types of surfaces and thus hold potential as a universal solution to surface modification. Here, we describe a facile, one-step surface modification strategy that affords hydrophilic, and underwater superoleophobic, coatings by the simultaneous deposition of polydopamine (PDA) with poly(methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (polyMPC). The resultant composite coating features enhanced hydrophilicity (i.e., water contact angle of ~10° in air) and antifouling performance relative to PDA coatings. PolyMPC affords control over coating thickness and surface roughness, and results in a nearly 10 fold reduction in Escherichia coli adhesion relative to unmodified glass. The substrate-independent nature of PDA coatings further promotes facile surface modification without tedious surface pretreatment, and offers a robust template for codepositing polyMPC to enhance biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and fouling resistance.

Abstract
In order to create suitable biocompatible materials for various tissue engineering applications, it is important to be able to understand protein adsorption and cell adhesion behaviors on the material's surfaces. It is known that the nanoscale distribution of adsorbed proteins affects cell adhesion behaviors. However, how nanoscale structures affect cell adhesion behaviors is still unclear. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the effect of the distribution of adsorbed proteins by the phase reversal of amphiphilic block copolymers composed of protein-non-adsorptive poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) and protein-adsorptive poly(3-methacryloyloxy propyltris(trimethylsilyloxy) silane) (PMPTSSi) on cell adhesion behaviors. The nanodomain structures of phase-separated block copolymers were successfully confirmed using transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Surfaces that had PMPC dot-like domains (23 ± 4 nm) and ones that had PMPTSSi dot-like domains (25 ± 6 nm) were made. From protein adsorption and L929 cell adhesion measurements, it was found that even on surfaces with equal quantities of protein adsorption, the number of cells on surfaces with PMPC dot-like domains was larger than those with PMPTSSi dot-like domains. This suggests that the simple phase-reversal of the distribution of adsorbed proteins can be used to affect cell adhesion behaviors for designing biomaterial surfaces for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The aim of this present study was to provide a scaffold as a tool for the investigation of the effect of mechanical stimulation on three-dimensionally cultured cells. For this purpose, we developed an artificial self-assembling peptide (SPG-178) hydrogel scaffold. The structural properties of the SPG-178 peptide were confirmed by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of the SPG-178 hydrogel were studied using rheology measurements. The SPG-178 peptide was able to form a stable, transparent hydrogel in a neutral pH environment. In the SPG-178 hydrogel, mouse skeletal muscle cells proliferated successfully (increased by 12.4 ± 1.5 times during 8 days of incubation; mean ± SEM). When the scaffold was statically stretched, a rapid phosphorylation of ERK was observed (increased by 2.8 ± 0.2 times; mean ± SEM). These results demonstrated that the developed self-assembling peptide gel is non-cytotoxic and is a suitable tool for the investigation of the effect of mechanical stimulation on three-dimensional cell culture.

Abstract
Fluorine-free mixed amphiphilic block copolymers with mixtures of short side groups of polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were synthesized and studied for their ability to influence the surface properties and control the adhesion of marine organisms to coated surfaces. The settlement (attachment) and strength of adhesion of two different marine algae, the green seaweed Ulva and the diatom Navicula, were evaluated against the surfaces. It is known that hydrophobic coatings based on polydimethyl siloxane elastomers (PDMSe) are prone to protein adsorption and accumulation of strongly adherent diatom slimes, in contrast to PEG-based hydrophilic surfaces that inhibit protein adsorption and moderate only weak adhesion of diatoms. By incorporating both PDMS and PEG side chains into the polymers, the effect of incorporating both polar and non-polar groups on fouling-release could be studied. The dry surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS). The ability of these mixed amphiphilic polymers to reconstruct in water was examined using underwater bubble contact angle and dynamic water contact angle experiments. To understand more about surface reconstruction behavior, protein adsorption experiments were carried out with fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled bovine serum albumin (BSA-FITC) on both dry and pre-soaked surfaces.

Abstract
Next-generation applications of block copolymer thin films will require a better understanding of the driving forces unique to thin film coatings, specifically those arising from the polymer-air interface. Previous modeling studies of film morphology have treated rigidly confined films, neglecting free surface considerations altogether. We report in this article the first systematic molecular dynamics investigation of block copolymer thin film ordering for unconfined films. We investigate the molecular basis of the formation of a number of experimentally relevant coating features, including surface islands and vertical lamellae. Surface islands are found to form in response to film incommensurability, whereas commensurability considerations are insufficient to explain vertical lamellar formation. Dynamics of lamellar formation presented herein demonstrate that vertical lamellar orientation is initiated in the surface regions of the film, most strikingly at the free surface. We conclude that the free surface plays a pivotal role in the free energy balance determining overall film morphology, and that confinement models provide an incomplete explanation of the physical basis of morphology selection in block copolymer coatings.

Abstract
End-functional 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) co-polymers containing two different monomer units, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and n-butyl methacrylate (BMA), with varying hydrophilicities were synthesized to investigate the effect of the conjugated hydrophilic polymer on the heat-induced conformational changes of a protein. MPC co-polymer-conjugated proteins containing the HEMA unit (PMH) could withstand thermal conformational changes better than those containing the more hydrophobic BMA unit (PMB). The changes in protein tertiary structures were estimated via the excitation of tryptophan. PMH-conjugated proteins could withstand heat-induced intensity changes better than the PMB-conjugated proteins. Thus, hydrophilic units in the conjugated polymer are probably essential in suppressing the heat-induced conformational changes of a protein. The changes in secondary and tertiary structures of poly(MPC)-(PMPC) and poly(HEMA) (PHEMA)-conjugated proteins were compared to validate the effect of MPC units on heat-induced conformational change. Although the thermally induced conformational changes in the secondary and tertiary structures of PHEMA-conjugated proteins were partially suppressed, the effect on PMPC-conjugated proteins was much greater, with significant conformational preservation. This is due to the specific hydration state of the hydrophilic PMPC chain, which reduces interaction between the protein molecules.

Abstract
Synchrotron-based soft X-ray spectromicroscopy techniques are emerging as useful tools to characterize potentially biocompatible materials and to probe protein interactions with model biomaterial surfaces. Simultaneous quantitative chemical analysis of the near surface region of the candidate biomaterial, and adsorbed proteins, peptides or other biological species can be obtained at high spatial resolution via scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM). Both techniques use near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectral contrast for chemical identification and quantitation. The capabilities of STXM and X-PEEM for the analysis of biomaterials are reviewed and illustrated by three recent studies: (1) characterization of hydrophobic surfaces, including adsorption of fibrinogen (Fg) or human serum albumin (HSA) to hydrophobic polymeric thin films, (2) studies of HSA adsorption to biodegradable or potentially biocompatible polymers, and (3) studies of biomaterials under fully hydrated conditions. Other recent applications of STXM and X-PEEM to biomaterials are also reviewed.
