Abstract
Despite the widespread use of polymers for antifouling coatings, the effect of the polymeric topology on the antifouling property has been largely underexplored. Unlike conventional brush polymers, a loop conformation often leads to strong steric stabilization of surfaces and antifouling and lubricating behavior owing to the large excluded volume and reduced chain ends. Herein, we present highly antifouling multiloop polyethers functionalized with a mussel-inspired catechol moiety with varying loop dimensions. Specifically, a series of polyethers with varying catechol contents were synthesized via anionic ring-opening polymerization by using triethylene glycol glycidyl ether (TEG) and catechol-acetonide glycidyl ether (CAG) to afford poly(TEG-co-CAG)n. The versatile adsorption and antifouling effects of multiloop polyethers were evaluated using atomic force microscopy and a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation. Furthermore, the crucial role of the loop dimension in the antifouling properties was analyzed via a surface force apparatus and a cell attachment assay. This study provides a new platform for the development of versatile antifouling polymers with varying topologies.

Engineered cell-degradable poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline) hydrogel for epicardial placement of mesenchymal stem cells for myocardial repair. Biomaterials 2021; 269:120356. [PMID: 33189358 PMCID: PMC7884911 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2020.120356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2020] [Revised: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Epicardial placement of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is a promising strategy for cardiac repair post-myocardial infarction, but requires the design of biomaterials to maximise the retention of donor cells on the heart surface and control their phenotype. To this end, we propose the use of a poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline) (POx) derivative, based on 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline and 2-butenyl-2-oxazoline. This POx polymer can be cured rapidly (less than 2 min) via photo-irradiation due to the use of di-cysteine cell degradable peptides. We report that the cell-degradable properties of the resulting POx hydrogels enables the regulation of cell protrusion in corresponding 3D matrices and that this, in turn, regulates the secretory phenotype of MSCs. In particular, the expression of pro-angiogenic genes was upregulated in partially cell-degradable POx hydrogels. Improved angiogenesis was confirmed in an in vitro microfluidic assay. Finally, we confirmed that, owing to the excellent tissue adhesive properties of thiol-ene crosslinked hydrogels, the epicardial placement of MSC-loaded POx hydrogels promoted the recovery of cardiac function and structure with reduced interstitial fibrosis and improved neovascular formation in a rat myocardial infarction model. This report demonstrates that engineered synthetic hydrogels displaying controlled mechanical, cell degradable and bioactive properties are particularly attractive candidates for the epicardial placement of stem cells to promote cardiac repair post myocardial infarction.

Abstract
We designed an amphiphilic block copolymer, poly(methyl methacrylate)-block-poly[oligo(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) methacrylate] (PMMA-b-P[O(Ox)MA]), suitable for bioinert coating. Angular-dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and neutron reflectivity measurements revealed that the outermost surface of a dried film of PMMA-b-P[O(Ox)MA] was covered with the PMMA block-rich layer. Once the film came into contact with water, the P[O(Ox)MA] bottlebrush block was segregated toward the water interface. This structural rearrangement in the outermost region of the film resulted in the formation of the swollen oligo(oxazoline) layer with excellent bioinertness in terms of the suppression of serum protein adsorption and NIH3T3 fibroblast adhesion.

Abstract
This study describes surface-assisted (SurfAst) urethane polymerization, providing a modular/postfunctionalizable, biorepellent, electroactive ∼10 to 100 nm-thick polyurethane (PU) interface on a gold surface. SurfAst is a functionalization methodology based on sequential incubation steps of alkane diisocyanates and alkanediol monomers. The gold surface is functionalized by alkane diisocyanates in the first incubation step, and our theoretical calculations reveal that while the isocyanate group atoms (N, C, and O) at one end of the molecule exhibits strong interactions (∼900 meV) with surface atoms, the other end group remains unreacted. After the first incubation step, sequential alkanediol and alkane diisocyanate incubations provide formation of the PU interface. The extensive analysis of the PU interface has been conducted via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the chemical mapping verifies that the interface is made of PU moieties. The topographical analysis of the surface conducted by the atomic force microscopy shows that the PU interface consists of mostly a nanoporous texture with 150 nm total roughness. The adherence force mapping of the PU interface reveals that the nanoporous matrix exhibits an adhesion force of about 14 nN. The electrostatic force microscopy characterizing long-range electrostatic interactions (40 nm) shows that the PU interface has been attracted by positively charged species as compared to negative objects. Finally, it is demonstrated that the PU interface is readily postfunctionalizable by polyethylene glycol (PEG 1000), serving as a biorepellent interface and preserving electroactivity. We foresee that SurfAst polymerization will have potential for the facile fabrication of a postfunctionalizable and modular biointerface which might be utilized for biosensing and bioelectronic applications.
