Abstract
Synthetic polymer surfaces provide an excellent opportunity for developing materials with inherent antimicrobial and/or biocidal activity, therefore representing an answer to the increasing demand for antimicrobial active medical devices. So far, biologists and material scientists have identified a few features of bacterial cells that can be strategically exploited to make polymers inherently antimicrobial. One of these is represented by the introduction of cationic charges that act by killing or deactivating bacteria by interaction with the negatively charged parts of their cell envelope (lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycan, and membrane lipids). Among the possible cationic functionalities, the antimicrobial activity of polymers with quaternary ammonium centers (QACs) has been widely used for both soluble macromolecules and non-soluble materials. Unfortunately, most information is still unknown on the biological mechanism of action of QACs, a fundamental requirement for designing polymers with higher antimicrobial efficiency and possibly very low toxicity. This mini-review focuses on surfaces based on synthetic polymers with inherently antimicrobial activity due to QACs. It will discuss their synthesis, their antimicrobial activity, and studies carried out so far on their mechanism of action.

Abstract
Surface modification using zwitterionic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymers is commonly performed to fabricate interfaces that reduce nonspecific fouling by biomolecules and cells. Accordingly, several clinically used devices, such as guide wires, stents, oxygenators, left ventricular assist devices, and microcatheters have been modified using MPC polymers. The specific types of surface modifications vary across substrates and applications. Recently, photoreactions have garnered attention for surface modification due to their stability and tunability. This review highlights various studies that employed photoreactions to modify surfaces using MPC polymers, especially photoinduced graft polymerization of MPC. In addition to antifouling materials, several micromanipulated, long-lasting hydrophilic, and super antiwear surfaces are summarized. Furthermore, several photoreactive MPC polymers that can be used to control interactions between biomolecules and materials are presented along with their potential to form selective recognition surfaces that target biomolecules for biosensors and diagnostic devices.

J Biomed Mater Res A 2023; 111:1808-1821.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a promising material for use in orthopedic implants, but its bio-inert character and lack of antibacterial activity limit its applications in bone repair. In the present study, considering the advantages of PEEK in self-initiated graft polymerization and of hydrogels in bone tissue engineering, we constructed a hydrogel coating (GPL) consisting of Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), methacrylamide-modified ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PLMA) and Laponite on PEEK through UV-initiated crosslinking. The coating improved the hydrophilicity of PEEK, and the coating degraded slowly so that approximately 80% was retained after incubation in PBS for 8 weeks. In vitro studies revealed that as compared to culturing on PEEK, culturing on PEEK-GPL led to enhanced viability and adhesion of cultured human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hWJ-MSCs). Due to the synergistic effect of the micron-scale three-dimensional surface and Laponite, PEEK-GPL exhibited a significantly improved induction of osteogenic differentiation of hWJ-MSCs compared to PEEK, as demonstrated by increased alkaline phosphatase activity, matrix mineralization, and expression of osteogenesis-related genes. Furthermore, PEEK-GPL showed antibacterial activity upon contact with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and this activity would be maintained before complete degradation of the hydrogel because the ε-PLMA was cross-linked covalently into the coating. Thus, PEEK-GPL achieved both osteogenesis and infection prevention in a single simple step, providing a feasible approach for the extensive use of PEEK in bone implants.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer with an elastic modulus close to that of the jawbone. PEEK has the potential to become a new dental implant material for special patients due to its radiolucency, chemical stability, color similarity to teeth, and low allergy rate. However, the aromatic main chain and lack of surface charge and chemical functional groups make PEEK hydrophobic and biologically inert, which hinders subsequent protein adsorption and osteoblast adhesion and differentiation. This will be detrimental to the deposition and mineralization of apatite on the surface of PEEK and limit its clinical application. Researchers have explored different modification methods to effectively improve the biomechanical, antibacterial, immunomodulatory, angiogenic, antioxidative, osteogenic and anti-osteoclastogenic, and soft tissue adhesion properties. This review comprehensively summarizes the latest research progress in material property advantages, three-dimensional printing synthesis, and functional modification of PEEK in the fields of implant dentistry and provides solutions for existing difficulties. We confirm the broad prospects of PEEK as a dental implant material to promote the clinical conversion of PEEK-based dental implants.

Abstract
Radical chemistry is one of the most important methods used in modern polymer science and industry. Over the past century, new knowledge on radical chemistry has both promoted and been generated from the emergence of polymer synthesis and modification techniques. In this review, we discuss radical chemistry in polymer science from four interconnected aspects. We begin with radical polymerization, the most employed technique for industrial production of polymeric materials, and other polymer synthesis involving a radical process. Post-polymerization modification, including polymer crosslinking and polymer surface modification, is the key process that introduces functionality and practicality to polymeric materials. Radical depolymerization, an efficient approach to destroy polymers, finds applications in two distinct fields, semiconductor industry and environmental protection. Polymer chemistry has largely diverged from organic chemistry with the fine division of modern science but polymer chemists constantly acquire new inspirations from organic chemists. Dialogues on radical chemistry between the two communities will deepen the understanding of the two fields and benefit the humanity.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been widely used in the preparation of orthopedic implants due to its biological inertness and similar mechanical modulus to natural bone. However, the affinity between biological tissue (bone and soft tissue) and PEEK surface is weak, leading to low osseointegration and an increased risk of inflammation. The situation could be improved by modifying PEEK surface. Surfaces with good hydrophilicity and proper microtopography would promote cellular adhesion and proliferation. This work presented a two-step surface modification method to achieve the effect. Polyacrylic acid (PAA) chains were grafted on PEEK surface by UV irradiation. Then, ethylenediamine (EDA) was added to introduce amino groups and promote the cross-linking of PAA chains. Furthermore, a mathematical model was built to describe and regulate the surface topography growth process semi-quantitatively. The model fits experimental data quite well (adjusted R2 = 0.779). Results showed that the modified PEEK surface obtained superhydrophilicity. It significantly improved the adhesion and proliferation of BMSCs and MFBs by activating the FAK pathway and Rho family GTPase. The cellular affinity performed better when the surface topography was in network structure with holes in about 25 μm depth and 20-50 μm diameter. Good hydrophilicity seems necessary for the FAK pathway activation, but simply improving surface hydrophilicity might not be enough for cellular affinity improvement. Surface topography at micron scale should be a more important cue. This simple surface modification method could be contributed to further study of cell-microtopography interaction and have potential applications in clinical PEEK orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers that have garnered significant attention as wound-healing materials. Many synthetic hydrogels are fabricated using a radical polymerization approach that requires an initiator molecule that is often photo- or thermosensitive. Initiator-free hydrogels are an emerging area of research that focuses on hydrogel fabrication that occurs in the absence of an initiator or cross-linker molecule, making these hydrogels highly relevant in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their excellent cytocompatibility and ease of scale-up. Here we present on the development of initiator-free zwitterionic hydrogels that photopolymerize without any initiator or cross-linker while under cytocompatible conditions. The hydrogels exhibit a wide range of mechanical characteristics that are dependent on their polymer composition. They resist nonspecific protein adsorption and exhibit a sustained release of proteins and small molecules. Additionally, these self-initiated hydrogels significantly mitigate inflammatory macrophage activation in vitro. Overall, the development of self-initiated photopolymerized zwitterionic hydrogels offers significant progress in the fields of biomaterials and materials science.

Abstract
This comprehensive review focuses on polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a synthetic thermoplastic polymer, for applications in dentistry. As a high-performance polymer, PEEK is intrinsically robust yet biocompatible, making it an ideal substitute for titanium-the current gold standard in dentistry. PEEK, however, is also inert due to its low surface energy and brings challenges when employed in dentistry. Inert PEEK often falls short of achieving a few critical requirements of clinical dental materials, such as adhesiveness, osseoconductivity, antibacterial properties, and resistance to tribocorrosion. This study aims to review these properties and explore the various surface modification strategies that enhance the performance of PEEK. Literatures searches were conducted on Google Scholar, Research Gate, and PubMed databases using PEEK, polyetheretherketone, osseointegration of PEEK, PEEK in dentistry, tribology of PEEK, surface modifications, dental applications, bonding strength, surface topography, adhesive in dentistry, and dental implant as keywords. Literature on the topics of surface modification to increase adhesiveness, tribology, and osseointegration of PEEK were included in the review. The unavailability of full texts was considered when excluding literature. Surface modifications via chemical strategies (such as sulfonation, plasma treatment, UV treatment, surface coating, surface polymerization, etc.) and/or physical approaches (such as sandblasting, laser treatment, accelerated neutral atom beam, layer-by-layer assembly, particle leaching, etc.) discussed in the literature are summarized and compared. Further, approaches such as the incorporation of bioactive materials, e.g., osteogenic agents, antibacterial agents, etc., to enhance the abovementioned desired properties are explored. This review presents surface modification as a critical and essential approach to enhance the biological performance of PEEK in dentistry by retaining its mechanical robustness.

Abstract
There is no clinical evidence of the usage of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymers in dental practice. We performed in vitro studies to determine whether the application of an MPC coating to stainless steel orthodontic wires confers low-friction and antimicrobial properties to these wires. The friction test on MPC-coated wires was performed using a precision universal/tensile tester. MPC polymer was coated on a 50 × 50 mm stainless steel plate, and samples were assessed using an antimicrobial activity test. To verify the effect of MPC polymer-treated wires on experimental tooth movement models in vitro, examinations were performed on typodonts to determine the improvement in tooth movement efficiency. The polymer treatment wire groups demonstrated significantly enhanced tooth movement compared with the untreated wire groups, at both 50 g and 100 g traction forces. The results indicated that MPC coating inhibited the attachment of oral bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans, on a stainless steel plate. Additionally, the coating seemed to improve the efficiency of tooth movement by reducing the occurrence of friction. The application of an MPC coating onto stainless steel wires, which are used as orthodontic materials, may reduce static friction and bacterial adherence to the oral cavity and improve tooth movement.

Abstract
Inhibition of biofilm formation and induction of the re-mineralization of damaged dental tissues are two major strategies to combat dental hypersensitivity (DH). However, single component synthetic materials normally cannot fulfil these two functions during the repairing of damaged dental tissues. Here, we report zwitterionic phosphorylcholine based polymers to be a new type of dual functional coating for the repairing of DH. Zwitterionic/phosphonate copolymers, p(DEMMP-co-MPC), bearing varied zwitterionic contents (95 and 75 mol%) were prepared through conventional radical copolymerization. 1H NMR spectroscopy clearly indicated the precise preparation of the copolymers. The copolymers can be easily coated on dentine substrates based on the high affinity between the phosphonate group and the calcium phosphate minerals of the dentine substrates, as evidenced by XPS and water contact angle measurements. Antifouling evaluations indicated that zwitterionic coating can efficiently inhibit protein adsorption (BSA, egg white, and milk, by 85%) and bacterial adhesion (by 97.1%) on dentine substrates. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo experiments consistently indicated that the zwitterionic coating could not only induce the robust re-mineralization of dentine surfaces, but also template the extensive re-mineralization of dentine tubules to a similar level of pristine dentine. Both the antifouling properties and the re-mineralization potency are positively correlated with the content of zwitterionic pMPC in the coating copolymer. These findings may provide the zwitterionic phosphorylcholine based materials to be a promising candidate to treat dental hypersensitivity and other related dental diseases.

Abstract
In orthopedics, developing functionalized biomaterials to enhance osteogenesis and bacterial resistance is crucial. Although poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) is regarded as an important engineering plastic for biomedical material with excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, its biological inertness has greatly compromised its application in biomedical engineering. Inspired by the catecholamine chemistry of mussels, we propose a universal and versatile approach for enhancing the osteogenesis and antibacterial performances of PEEK based on surface functionalization of polydopamine-modified nanohydroxyapatite and lysozyme simultaneously. The characterizations of surface morphology and elemental composition revealed that the composite coating was successfully added to the PEEK surface. Additionally, the in vitro cell experiment and biomineralization assay indicated that the composite coating-modified PEEK was biocompatible with significantly improved bioactivity to promote osteogenesis and biomineralization compared with the untreated PEEK. Furthermore, the antibacterial test demonstrated that the composite coating had a strongly destructive effect on two bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) with antibacterial ratios of 98.7% and 96.1%, respectively. In summary, the bioinspired method for surface functionalization can enhance the osteogenesis and bacterial resistance of biomedical materials, which may represent a potential approach for designing functionalized implants in orthopedics.

Abstract
Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) has seen increasing use in biomedical fields as a replacement for metal implants. Accordingly, the surface functionalities of PEEK are important for the development of medical devices. We have focused on the application of photoinduced reactions in PEEK to immobilize a functional polymer via radical generation on the surface, which can react with hydrocarbon groups. In this study, we used zwitterionic copolymers comprising 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) units and n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) units with various molecular architectures for surface modification. A random copolymer (poly(MPC-co-BMA) (r-PMB)), an AB-type diblock copolymer (di-PMB), and an ABA-type triblock copolymer (tri-PMB) (A segment: poly(BMA); B segment: poly(MPC)) were synthesized with the same monomer compositions. All PMBs were successfully immobilized on the PEEK surface via UV irradiation after the dip-coating process, regardless of their molecular structure. In this reaction, the alkyl group of the BMA unit functioned as a photoreactive site on the PEEK surface. This indicates that the molecular structure differences affect the surface properties. For example, compared to r-PMB and tri-PMB, di-PMB-modified surfaces exhibited an extremely low water contact angle of approximately 10°. The findings of this study demonstrate that this surface functionalization method does not require a low-molecular-weight compound, such as an initiator, and can be applied to the surface of inert PEEK through a simple photoreaction under room temperature, atmospheric pressure, and dry state conditions.

Abstract
The application of membrane processes in various fields has now undergone accelerated developments, despite the presence of some hurdles impacting the process efficiency. Fouling is arguably the main hindrance for a wider implementation of polymeric membranes, particularly in pressure-driven membrane processes, causing higher costs of energy, operation, and maintenance. Radiation induced graft copolymerization (RIGC) is a powerful versatile technique for covalently imparting selected chemical functionalities to membranes' surfaces, providing a potential solution to fouling problems. This article aims to systematically review the progress in modifications of polymeric membranes by RIGC of polar monomers onto membranes using various low- and high-energy radiation sources (UV, plasma, γ-rays, and electron beam) for fouling prevention. The feasibility of the modification method with respect to physico-chemical and antifouling properties of the membrane is discussed. Furthermore, the major challenges to the modified membranes in terms of sustainability are outlined and the future research directions are also highlighted. It is expected that this review would attract the attention of membrane developers, users, researchers, and scientists to appreciate the merits of using RIGC for modifying polymeric membranes to mitigate the fouling issue, increase membrane lifespan, and enhance the membrane system efficiency.

The surface modification of long carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone with bioactive composite hydrogel for effective osteogenicity. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Long carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone (LCFRPEEK) is fabricated using a three-dimensional (3D) needle-punched method in our previous work, which is considered as a potential orthopedic implant due to its high mechanical strength and isotropic properties, as well as having an elastic modulus similar to human cortical bone. However, the LCFRPEEK has inferior integration with bone tissue, limiting its clinical application. Thus, a facile surface modification method, using gelatin methacrylate/polyacrylamide composite hydrogel coating (GelMA/PAAM) loading with dexamethasone (Dex) on our newly-developed LCFRPEEK composite via concentrated sulfuric acid sulfonating and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation grafting methods, has been developed to tackle the problem. The results demonstrate that the GelMA/PAAM/Dex coating modified sulfonated LCFRPEEK (SCP/GP/Dex) has a hydrophilicity surface, a long-term Dex release capability and forms more bone-like apatite nodules in SBF. The SCP/GP/Dex also displays enhanced cytocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation in terms of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) responses in vitro assay. The in vivo rat cranial defect assay confirms that SCP/GP/Dex boosts bone regeneration/osseointegration, which significantly improves osteogenic fixation between the implant and bone tissue. Therefore, the newly-developed LCFRPEEK modified via GelMA/PAAM/Dex bioactive coating exhibits improved biocompatibility and osteogenic integration capability, which has the basis for an orthopedic implant for clinical application.

Abstract
Measurements of wear resistance and metal ion release are important for designing bearing couples or interfaces in total hip arthroplasty (THA). In this study, we investigated wear resistance and metal ion release of surface-modified metal-free all-polymer hip bearings, such as poly(ether-ether-ketone), (PEEK) on cross-linked polyethylene (PEEK-on-CLPE), with a hydrated gel-like surface layer, to propose an improved alternative to the conventional materials used to design THA bearings. The PEEK surface resulted in less metal ion release than the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy surface owing to the lack of metal. The PEEK-on-CLPE bearing (6.33 mg/106 cycles) had lower wear (rate) than the bearing with Co-Cr-Mo alloy-on-CLPE (10.47 mg/106 cycles) under controlled laboratory conditions; the wear performance of the all-polymer hip bearings was further improved with hemi- or both-surface modified with a hydrated poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) layer (3.74 and 3.06 mg/106 cycles, respectively). The PMPC-grafted interface of PEEK-on-CLPE will be especially suitable for THA candidates. This study is of key importance for the design of lifelong THA and a better understanding of the limitations resulting from using PEEK. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the possibility of using this material in artificial hips.

Abstract
Phosphorus is a ubiquitous and one of the most common elements found in living organisms. Almost all molecules containing phosphorus in our body exist as analogs of phosphate salts or phosphoesters. Their functions are versatile and important, being responsible for forming the genetic code, cell membrane, and mineral components of hard tissue. Several materials inspired from these phosphorus-containing biomolecules have been recently developed. These materials have shown unique properties at the biointerface, such as nonfouling ability, blood compatibility, lubricity, mineralization induction capability, and bone affinity. Several unfavorable events occur at the interface of materials and living organisms because most of these materials have not been designed while taking host responses into account. These unfavorable events are directly linked to reducing functions and shorten the usable periods of medical devices. Biomimetic phosphorus-containing polymers can improve the reliability of materials in biological systems. In addition, phosphorus-containing biomimetic polymers are useful not only for improving the biocompatibility of material surfaces but also for adding new functions due to the flexibility in molecular design. In this review, we describe the recent advances in the control of biointerfacial phenomena with phosphorus-containing polymers. We especially focus on zwitterioninc phosphorylcholine polymers and polyphosphoesters.

Abstract
Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic used for several industrial applications due to its excellent mechanical properties. However, the use of PEEK is limited to dental materials because of its poor implant-bone integration. In the present study, methylated polyrotaxanes (MePRXs) with 4-vinylbenzyl groups, which are supermolecules composed of methylated α-cyclodextrins and poly(ethylene glycol) chains end-capped with 4-vinylbenzyl groups, were covalently tethered onto PEEK surfaces using photo-induced polymerization to improve their osteoblast compatibility. The surface-tethering of MePRXs onto PEEK surfaces was confirmed by analyzing their attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectra and contact angles. When mouse preosteoblasts were cultured on the MePRX-PEEK and bare PEEK surfaces, the MePRX-PEEK surfaces showed significantly better proliferation and osteoblast differentiation than the bare PEEK surfaces. These results suggest that surface modification of PEEKs using MePRXs improves their osteoblast compatibility.

Abstract
Water-soluble photoreactive polymers with both phosphorylcholine and benzophenone groups were synthesized for the reaction between the polymers and the substrate in aqueous medium. To control the polymer architecture, the living radical polymerization method was applied to the copolymerization of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine and benzophenone methacrylates. These polymers possess various architectures, such as linear polymers, polymers with hydrophobic terminals, and 4-armed star-like polymers, that could promote their adsorption on the substrate surfaces. Additionally, two types of benzophenone groups were examined. Due to the bulky phosphorylcholine group, tetra(ethylene oxide) group as a spacer between polymer main chain and benzophenone group was considered. These polymers could adsorb on the surface in an aqueous medium, followed by reaction on the surface via photoirradiation depending on the chemical structure of the benzophenone group. The thickness of the polymer layer depended on the polymer architecture, i.e. a polymer with a hydrophobic terminal could form a thick layer. After modification, the contact angle by air in the aqueous medium decreased, compared to that on the base substrate. This was due to the hydrophilic nature based on the phosphorylcholine groups at the surface. The amount of proteins adsorbed on the surface also decreased because of the surface modification. These findings indicated that these water-soluble photoreactive polymers could be applied for the safer and effective surface modification of substrates via conventional photoirradiation without using an organic solvent.

Abstract
Biocompatible amphiphilic statistical copolymers P(MEA/MPCm) composed of 2-methoxyethyl acrylate (MEA) and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) were prepared with three different mol% of the hydrophilic unit MPC (m = 6, 12 and 46 mol%). The monomer reactivity ratios of MEA (rMEA) and MPC (rMPC) were 0.53 and 2.21, respectively. The rMEA × rMPC value of 1.17 demonstrated that statistical copolymerization was successful. P(MEA/MPC12) and P(MEA/MPC46) copolymers did not undergo aggregation in water, whereas the P(MEA/MPC6) copolymer formed micelles in water with a hydrodynamic radius (Rh) of 96.9 nm and a critical aggregation concentration, which was determined using pyrene fluorescence, at 0.0082 g/L. The restricted motion of the protons in the hydrophobic MEA units in the micelles' cores provided additional evidence of self-association in P(MEA/MPC6).

Abstract
The kinetics of benzophenone (BP) and its derivatives have been widely studied in different solvents by nanosecond laser flash photolysis as well as in the polymer matrix. With the development of functional polymer coating, BP, as well as other photocross-linkers, has been incorporated into the polymer backbone or side chain to form the covalent connection between polymer coatings and substrates, which can improve the mechanical and chemical stability of the coatings. In this work, a series of BP pendent zwitterionic copolymer kinetics were investigated using UV-vis for the first time. Because of the high hydrophilicity of the zwitterionic monomer, the influence of the polymer matrix's polarity on the cross-linking rate was observed. With a higher zwitterionic percentage in the copolymer, the polarity of the copolymer increases, BP reactivity decreases, and a hypothesis between the BP rate constant and partial coefficient log P was raised. Moreover, the thermal property is also an important factor affecting the BP reactivity. For polymers with high glass-transition temperature, the reactivity was not dominated by the chemical environment such as polarity, and the restricted segment movement reduces the cross-linking rate. Additionally, the ring substituents show similar effects to BP pendent copolymers as with small molecules. Electron-withdrawing groups help to stabilize the BP triplet radical and facilitate cross-linking, while electron-donating groups work conversely. Therefore, polarity, thermal properties, and substituents should be taken into consideration when designing BP-containing functional polymers.

Abstract
To enhance the total antithrombogenicity of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK), we examined a combination of two methodologies for the suppression of activation in both the platelet and coagulation systems. A random copolymer (PMT) composed of a zwitterionic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) unit and a cationic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (TMAEMA) unit was grafted onto the PEEK surface by photoinduced self-initiated graft polymerization of the PEEK substrate (PMTx-g-PEEK). Then, negatively charged heparin was immobilized by ionic binding with TMAEMA units (Hep/PMTx-g-PEEK). The TMAEMA unit composition on grafted PMT altered the surface ζ-potentials of the PEEK substrates. Amounts of immobilized heparin depended on the ζ-potential. The concentration of heparin became constant on the sample surface where the TMAEMA unit composition was 30% or more, and was approximately 2.0 μg/cm2. The Hep/PMTx-g-PEEK with a TMAEMA unit composition of 50% showed not only decreased platelet adhesion, but also a 4-fold extension of the blood coagulation time of the poly(MPC)-g-PEEK substrate. The poly(MPC) layer could inhibit platelet adhesion and activation, resulting in surface antithrombogenic properties. Additionally, heparin released from the Hep/PMTx-g-PEEK prevented activation of the coagulation system in whole blood. Therefore, the combination of these antithrombogenic methodologies was promising for prolonging the blood coagulation period of the materials.

Abstract
In recent years, zwitterionic polymers have been frequently reported to modify various surfaces to enhance hydrophilicity, antifouling and antibacterial properties, which show significant potentials particularly in biological systems. This review focuses on the fabrication, properties and various applications of zwitterionic polymer grafted surfaces. The "graft-from" and "graft-to" strategies, surface grafting copolymerization and post zwitterionization methods were adopted to graft lots type of the zwitterionic polymers on different inorganic/organic surfaces. The inherent hydrophilicity and salt affinity of the zwitterionic polymers endow the modified surfaces with antifouling, antibacterial and lubricating properties, thus the obtained zwitterionic surfaces show potential applications in biosystems. The zwitterionic polymer grafted membranes or stationary phases can effectively separate plasma, water/oil, ions, biomolecules and polar substrates. The nanomedicines with zwitterionic polymer shells have "stealth" effect in the delivery of encapsulated drugs, siRNA or therapeutic proteins. Moreover, the zwitterionic surfaces can be utilized as wound dressing, self-healing or oil extraction materials. The zwitterionic surfaces are expected as excellent support materials for biosensors, they are facing the severe challenges in the surface protection of marine facilities, and the dense ion pair layers may take unexpected role in shielding the grafted surfaces from strong electromagnetic field.

Abstract
Surface modification of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) aimed at applying it as a bone implant material aroused the unflagging interest of the research community. In view of the development of implantology and the growing demand for new biomaterials, increasing biocompatibility and improving osseointegration are becoming the primary goals of PEEK surface modifications. The main aim of this review is to summarize the use of polymerization methods and various monomers applied for surface modification of PEEK to increase its bioactivity, which is a critical factor for successful applications of biomedical materials. In addition, the future directions of PEEK surface modifications are suggested, pointing to low-ppm surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) as a method with unexplored capacity for flat surface modifications.

Abstract
To improve the hemocompatibility of the biodegradable medical poly(ether-ester-urethane) (PEEU), containing uniform-size aliphatic hard segments that was prepared in our lab, a copolymer containing phosphorylcholine (PC) groups was blended with the PEEU. The PC-copolymer of poly(MPC-co-EHMA) (PMEH) was first obtained by copolymerization of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (EHMA), and then dissolved in mixed solvent of ethanol/chloroform to obtain a homogeneous solution. The composite films (PMPU) with varying PMEH content were prepared by solvent evaporation method. The physicochemical properties of the composite films with varying PMEH content were researched. The PMPU films exhibited higher thermal stability than that of the pure PEEU film. With the PMEH content increasing from 5 to 20 wt%, the PMPU films also possessed satisfied tensile properties with ultimate stress of 22.9-15.8 MPa and strain at break of 925-820%. The surface and bulk hydrophilicity of the films were improved after incorporation of PMEH. In vitro degradation studies indicated that the degradation rate increased with PMEH content, and it took 12-24 days for composite films to become fragments. The protein adsorption and platelet-rich plasma contact tests were adapted to evaluate the surface hemocompatibility of the composite films. It was found that the amount of adsorbed protein and adherent platelet on the surface decreased significantly, and almost no activated platelets were observed when PMEH content was above 5 wt%, which manifested good surface hemocompatibility. Due to the biodegradability, acceptable tensile properties and good surface hemocompatibility, the composites can be expected to be applied in blood-contacting implant materials.

Abstract
Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) is an alternative material to metals for orthopedic applications. However, the compatibility of PEEK with hard tissues needs to be improved. To address this issue, this study proposes a novel technique for PEEK surface modifications. A polyphosphodiester macromonomer (PEPMA·Na) was synthesized via the demethylation of polyphosphotriester macromonomer obtained via the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic phosphoesters using 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylamide as the initiator. The surface modification of PEEK was performed via photoinduced and self-initiated graft polymerization of PEPMA·Na without using any photoinitiators. The amount of phosphorus due to poly(PEPMA·Na) immobilized on PEEK increased with an increase in the photoirradiation time. The PEEK surface turned hydrophilic due to poly(PEPMA·Na) grafting, with almost similar advancing and receding contact angles, implying that the modified PEEK surface (PEEK-g-poly(PEPMA·Na)) was homogeneous. Specimens were mineral coated by simple static soaking in ×1.5 simulated body fluid (1.5SBF) and by an alternative process that included additional soaking steps in 200 mM CaCl2 aq. and 200 mM K2HPO4 aq. before static soaking in 1.5SBF. Specimens were immersed in 1.5SBF for 28 days in simple static soaking, after which the PEEK-g-poly(PEPMA·Na) surface was completely covered with spherical cauliflower-like mineral deposits that resembled octacalcium phosphate (OCP). Their structural similarities were confirmed via X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses. However, these mineral deposits were not observed on the bare PEEK surface. Due to the additional soaking steps (alternative soaking) undertaken before the static soaking of the specimens in 1.5SBF, the mineral coating on the PEEK-g-poly(PEPMA·Na) was dramatically accelerated and the surface was fully covered with mineral deposits in only one day of soaking. The mineral deposits resulting from both the soaking processes had similar structures. Compared with bare PEEK, osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells proliferated more actively on mineral-coated PEEK-g-poly(PEPMA·Na). Thus, the surface immobilization of poly(PEPMA·Na) on a PEEK surface is effective for mineral coating and may be useful to provide hard-tissue compatibility on PEEK.

Abstract
Improved thromboresistance of mechanical valves is desired to decrease the risk of thromboembolism and thrombosis and reduce the dosage of anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist (e.g., warfarin). For several mechanical valves, design-related features are responsible for their improved thromboresistance. However, it remains unclear whether material-related features provide a practical level of thromboresistance to mechanical valves. Here, we studied the effect of a bileaflet valve made of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) with a poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC)-grafted surface (PEEK-g-PMPC). PMPC is a well-known thromboresistant polymeric material. A short-term (<26 h) porcine aortic valve replacement model using neither an anticoagulant nor an antiplatelet agent showed that the PEEK-g-PMPC valve opened and closed normally with an allowable transvalvular gradient. Unlike an untreated PEEK valve, no thrombus formed on the PEEK-g-PMPC valves on gross anatomy examination in addition to the absence of traveled thrombi in the kidney and lung tissues. Material (PEEK-g-PMPC)-related thromboresistance appeared to decrease the risk of thromboembolism and thrombosis for patients with mechanical valves. However, thromboresistance of the PEEK-g-PMPC valve requires improvement because fibrous fouling was still observed on the leaflet. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Developing a thermal grafting process for zwitterionic polymers on cross-linked polyethylene with geometry-independent grafting thickness. Acta Biomater 2019; 85:180-191.

Abstract
To overcome the drawbacks of the UV grafting method, an alternative, thermal grafting process is suggested. The uniform and geometry-independent grafting of zwitterionic polymers on curved cross-linked polyethylene (CLPE), which is used in artificial hip joints, surface was successfully achieved. Poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) and poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)dimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide) (PMEDSAH) were grafted on the CLPE by two methods: a UV-based process and a thermal process. The thermal method yielded zwitterionic surfaces with similar hydrophilicities and graft layer thicknesses to those prepared via the UV grafting method. The X-ray photoelectron spectra and surface zeta potential results showed that the PMPC and PMEDSAH layers were successfully grafted onto the CLPE surface. In addition, 3-D confocal microscopy, as well as friction and wear volume tests, confirmed that there was a significant decrease in the friction coefficient and wear, which indicates that the thermal grafting method can successfully substitute the UV grafting method. The thermally grafted polymer showed uniform graft layer thickness on the curved CLPE surface, whereas the UV-grafted polymer showed a geometry-dependent heterogeneous graft layer thickness. Thus, we confirmed that the thermal grafting method is advantageous for the preparation of uniform grafting layers on artificial joint surfaces with complicated shapes. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Formation of uniform grafting thickness of the zwitterionic polymers on the implant materials is a very important issue in the field of biomaterials. In this study, a thermal grafting process was developed for the formation of the uniform grafting thickness of the zwitterionic polymers on the curved cross-linked polyethylene (CLPE) surface used in artificial hip-joint. This method yielded zwitterionized CLPE surfaces with similar hydrophilicities and friction coefficient to those prepared via the UV grafting method which has been widely used process to modify the implant surfaces. Furthermore, the thermally grafted CLPE surface showed geometry-independent uniform grafting thickness on the curved CLPE surface while UV-grafted one showed uneven grafting thickness. This grafting method could help the development of complex, personalized, and biocompatible artificial liner surfaces.

Abstract
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) exhibits excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability and has been widely used in medical fields for the preparation of implantable medical devices. However, the implantation of PTFE in living systems results in inflammation reactions and infections at the surface thus limits its long-term applications. For PTFE surface modification, we examined the effects of mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) coating and the further introduction of functional groups. During PDA coating, the plasma pretreatment on PTFE enhanced the stability of the PDA coating layer. Furthermore, the introduction of functional groups on the PDA layer was carried out using reactive functional groups for the photoinduced graft polymerization of methacrylate. For instance, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) could be polymerized from the surface of the substrate. These chemical modifications were confirmed step by step using spectroscopes to obtain the hydrophilic surface of the poly(MPC)-modified PTFE. The protein adsorption behaviors on PTFE and poly(MPC)-modified PTFE were compared to understand biocompatibility characteristics of these substrates. The surface of PTFE was immediately covered with albumin and the contact between the substrate and the serum resulted in an increase in the fibrinogen composition with time. On the other hand, fewer proteins were adsorbed on the poly(MPC)-modified PTFE substrate. Thus, this modification procedure would serve as a strategy for safer alterations in PTFE surfaces to expand the life span of the PTFE-carrying medical devices in living systems.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer coating with various concentrations onto acrylic resin denture base material on surface characteristics such as contact angle and surface roughness and on Candida albicans adhesion which is the major factor of denture stomatitis. Specimens, prepared from heat-polymerized acrylic denture base material, were divided into control and three test groups, randomly. Surfaces of the specimens in test groups were coated with poly(MPC) (PMPC) by graft polymerization of MPC in different concentrations (0.25 mol/L; 0.50 mol/L and 0.75 mol/L), while no surface treatment was applied to the control group. Contact angles and surface roughness were examined, and chemical composition of the surfaces was analyzed by Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to verify the presence of PMPC coatings. Then, specimens were incubated with C. albicans for 18 h and the number of adhered cells was determined. Upon PMPC coating, the contact angle values statistically decreased, but no difference was found in surface roughness values. A statistically significant decrease was observed in C. albicans adhesion in parallel with the increase in the MPC polymer concentration. There was no significant difference between 0.50 mol/L and 0.75 mol/L groups in terms of adhesion. These findings indicated that graft polymerization of MPC on acrylic denture base material reduces the adhesion of C. albicans, and may be evaluated as a coating for prevention of denture stomatitis.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has an elastic modulus similar to that of the bone; however, its use as a material for bone repair is limited by bio-inert surface chemistry and poor osteogenesis-inducing capacity. To address this issue, the PEEK surface was activated by ultraviolet radiation-induced grafting of methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers via a one-step process. The modified PEEK surface was characterized by X-ray photoelectron and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and the extent of surface modification was evaluated by measuring static contact angles. Atomic force microscopy revealed that the PEEK surface grafted with electrospun TiO2 had abundant nanofibers and a roughness that was comparable to that of human cortical bone. In vitro experiment, rat bone mesenchymal stem cells showed increased adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation capacity on TiO2-modified as compared to unmodified PEEK. Thus, PEEK that is surface-modified with electrospun TiO2 and MeHA has enhanced biocompatibility and can be an effective material for use in orthopedic implants and medical devices.

[PMID: 29109026 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2017.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 66] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2017] [Revised: 11/01/2017] [Accepted: 11/02/2017] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Partial joint repair is a surgical procedure where an artificial material is used to replace localised chondral damage. These artificial bearing surfaces must articulate against cartilage, but current materials do not replicate both the biphasic and boundary lubrication mechanisms of cartilage. A research challenge therefore exists to provide a material that mimics both boundary and biphasic lubrication mechanisms of cartilage. In this work a polymeric network of a biomimetic boundary lubricant, poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC), was incorporated into an ultra-tough double network (DN) biphasic (water phase + polymer phase) gel, to form a PMPC triple network (PMPC TN) hydrogel with boundary and biphasic lubrication capability. The presence of this third network of MPC was confirmed using ATR-FTIR. The PMPC TN hydrogel had a yield stress of 26 MPa, which is an order of magnitude higher than the peak stresses found in the native human knee. A preliminary pin on plate tribology study was performed where both the DN and PMPC TN hydrogels experienced a reduction in friction with increasing sliding speed which is consistent with biphasic lubrication. In the physiological sliding speed range, the PMPC TN hydrogel halved the friction compared to the DN hydrogel indicating the boundary lubricating PMPC network was working. A biocompatible, tough, strong and chondral lubrication imitating PMPC TN hydrogel was synthesised in this work. By complementing the biphasic and boundary lubrication mechanisms of cartilage, PMPC TN hydrogel could reduce the reported incidence of chondral damage opposite partial joint repair implants, and therefore increase the clinical efficacy of partial joint repair. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This paper presents the synthesis, characterisation and preliminary tribological testing of a new biomaterial that aims to recreate the primary chondral lubrication mechanisms: boundary and biphasic lubrication. This work has demonstrated that the introduction of an established zwitterionic, biomimetic boundary lubricant can improve the frictional properties of an ultra-tough hydrogel. This new biomaterial, when used as a partial joint replacement bearing material, may help avoid damage to the opposing chondral surface-which has been reported as an issue for other non-biomimetic partial joint replacement materials. Alongside the synthesis of a novel biomaterial focused on complementing the lubrication mechanisms of cartilage, your readership will gain insights into effective mechanical and tribological testing methods and materials characterisation methods for their own biomaterials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate denture-base-resin coatings prepared with a crosslinkable co-polymer containing sulfobetaine methacrylamide (SBMAm) and the relationship between their surface characteristics and the initial adhesion of Candida albicans (C. albicans). METHODS Acrylic resin discs were coated with co-polymers containing various concentrations of SBMAm and N,N'-(4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecadiamine) diacrylamide (JDA) as crosslinking agent. Uncoated discs were used as controls. An acquired pellicle was formed on each disc using artificial saliva, and the discs were immersed in a suspension of C. albicans (JCM2085) cells. After incubation, tetrazolium salt (XTT-reduction) and colony forming unit (CFU) assays were performed and the morphogenesis of C. albicans was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface roughness, film thickness, and the water contact angle of each disc surface were measured. RESULTS All coating groups showed significantly lower amounts of adhered C. albicans in the XTT-reduction and CFU assays than the control, confirmed by the SEM images. Many wrinkle structures were observed on the surfaces coated with co-polymers containing more than 30% SBMAm. There were no significant differences in surface roughness among all groups. The co-polymer films on the coated discs were less than 5.0 μm in thickness, and these surfaces exhibited significantly lower mean water contact angles than the control. CONCLUSION Crosslinkable co-polymers containing SBMAm can enhance the hydrophilicity of the surface of denture-base resins and reduce the initial adhesion of C. albicans.

Abstract
Since octafluoropentyl methacrylate is an antifouling polymer, surface modification of polyether ether ketone with octafluoropentyl methacrylate is a practical approach to obtaining anti-biofilm biocompatible devices. In the current study, the surface treatment of polyether ether ketone by the use of ultraviolet irradiation, so as to graft (octafluoropentyl methacrylate) polymer chains, was initially implemented and then investigated. The Fourier-transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra corroborated the appearance of new signals associated with the fluoroacrylate group. Thermogravimetric curves indicated enhanced asymmetry in the polymer structure due to the introduction of the said new groups. Measuring the peak area in differential scanning calorimetry experiments also showed additional bond formation. Static water contact angle measurements indicated a change in wettability to the more hydrophobic surface. The polyether ether ketone–octafluoropentyl methacrylate surface greatly reduced the protein adsorption. This efficient method can modulate and tune the surface properties of polyether ether ketone according to specific applications.

Abstract
The keys of biomaterials application in artificial joints are good hydrophilicity and wear resistance. One kind of the potential bio-implant materials is polyetheretherketone (PEEK), which has some excellent properties such as non-toxic and good biocompatibility. However, its bioinert surface and inherent chemical inertness hinder its application. In this study, we reported an efficient method for improving the surface wettability and wear resistance for PEEK, a layer of acrylic acid (AA) polymer brushes on PEEK surface was prepared by UV-initiated graft polymerization. The effects of different grafting parameters (UV-irradiation time/AA monomer solution concentration) on surface characteristics were clearly investigated, and the AA-g-PEEK specimens were examined by ATR-FTIR, static water contact angle measurements and friction tests. Our results reveal that AA can be successfully grafted onto the PEEK surface after UV irradiation, the water wettability and tribological properties of AA-g-PEEK are much better than untreated PEEK because that AA is a hydrophilic monomer, the AA layer on PEEK surface can improve its bearing capacity and reduce abrasion. This detailed understanding of the grafting parameters allows us to accurately control the experimental products, and this method of surface modification broadens the use of PEEK in orthopedic implants.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to: (1) synthesize an anti-biofilm and protein-repellent dental composite by combining 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) with quaternary ammonium dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM); and (2) evaluate the effects of water-aging for 180 days on protein resistance, bacteria-killing ability, and mechanical properties of MPC-DMAHDM composite. MPC and DMAHDM were added into a resin composite. Specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 1, 30, 90, and 180 days. Mechanical properties were measured in three-point flexure. Protein attachment onto the composite was evaluated by a micro bicinchoninic acid approach. An oral plaque microcosm biofilm model was employed to evaluate oral biofilm viability vs. water-aging time. Mechanical properties of the MPC-DMAHDM composite after 180-day immersion matched those of the commercial control composite. The composite with 3% MPC + 1.5% DMAHDM had much stronger resistance to protein adhesion than control (p < 0.05). MPC + DMAHDM achieved much stronger biofilm-eradicating effects than MPC or DMAHDM alone (p < 0.05). Biofilm colony-forming units on the 3% MPC + 1.5% DMAHDM composite were three orders of magnitude lower than commercial control. The protein-repellent and antibacterial effects were durable and showed no loss in water-aging from 1 to 180 days. The novel MPC-DMAHDM composite possessed strong and durable resistance to protein adhesion and potent bacteria-eradicating function, while matching the load-bearing ability of a commercial dental composite. The novel MPC-DMAHDM composite represents a promising means of suppressing oral plaque growth, acid production, and secondary caries.

Abstract
Biocompatibility of intraocular lens (IOL) is critical to vision reconstruction after cataract surgery. Foldable hydrophobic acrylic IOL is vulnerable to the adhesion of extracellular matrix proteins and cells, leading to increased incidence of postoperative inflammation and capsule opacification. To increase IOL biocompatibility, we synthesized a hydrophilic copolymer P(MPC-MAA) and grafted the copolymer onto the surface of IOL through air plasma treatment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and static water contact angle were used to characterize chemical changes, topography and hydrophilicity of the IOL surface, respectively. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) showed that P(MPC-MAA) modified IOLs were resistant to protein adsorption. Moreover, P(MPC-MAA) modification inhibited adhesion and proliferation of lens epithelial cells (LECs) in vitro. To analyze uveal and capsular biocompatibility in vivo, we implanted the P(MPC-MAA) modified IOLs into rabbits after phacoemulsification. P(MPC-MAA) modification significantly reduced postoperative inflammation and anterior capsule opacification (ACO), and did not affect posterior capsule opacification (PCO). Collectively, our study suggests that surface modification by P(MPC-MAA) can significantly improve uveal and capsular biocompatibility of hydrophobic acrylic IOL, which could potentially benefit patients with blood-aqueous barrier damage.
