[PMID: 38669089 PMCID: PMC11082838 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c19189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
We present the development of a platform of well-defined, dynamic covalent amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCN) based on an α,ω-dibenzaldehyde end-functionalized linear amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(propylene glycol)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-b-PPG-b-PEG, Pluronic) copolymer end-linked with a triacylhydrazide oligo(ethylene glycol) triarmed star cross-linker. The developed APCNs were characterized in terms of their rheological (increase in the storage modulus by a factor of 2 with increase in temperature from 10 to 50 °C), self-healing, self-assembling, and mechanical properties and evaluated as a matrix for gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) in both the stretched and unstretched states. Our results show that water-loaded APCNs almost completely self-mend, self-organize at room temperature into a body-centered cubic structure with long-range order exhibiting an aggregation number of around 80, and display an exceptional room temperature stretchability of ∼2400%. Furthermore, ionic liquid-loaded APCNs could serve as gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), displaying a substantial ion conductivity in the unstretched state, which was gradually reduced upon elongation up to a strain of 4, above which it gradually increased. Finally, it was found that recycled (dissolved and re-formed) ionic liquid-loaded APCNs could be reused as GPEs preserving 50-70% of their original ion conductivity.

Abstract
We report the preparation of dense and porous amphiphilic conetwork (APCN) membranes through the covalent interconnection of poly(vinylidene fluoride)-graft-poly[(2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PVDF-g-PDMAEMA) copolymers with telechelic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or α,α-dichloro-p-xylene (XDC). The dense APCN membranes exhibit varying solvent swelling and mechanical properties depending on the compositions and overall crystallinity. The crystallinity of both PVDF (20-47%) and PEG (9-17%) is significantly suppressed in the dense APCNs prepared through the interconnection of PVDF-g-PDMAEMA with reactive PEG as compared to the APCN membranes (48-53%) prepared with XDC as well as mechanical blend of PVDF-g-PDMAEMA plus nonreactive PEG. The dense APCN membranes exhibit a good transport number of monovalent ions and ionic conductivity. The APCN membrane interconnected with PEG and containing binary ionic liquids exhibits a room-temperature lithium ion conductivity of 0.52 mS/cm. On the other hand, APCN ultrafiltration (UF) membranes exhibit organic solvent-resistant behavior. The UF membrane obtained by interconnecting PVDF-g-PDMAEMA with telechelic PEG shows low protein fouling propensity, higher hydrophilicity, and water flux as compared to membranes prepared using XDC as the interconnecting agent. The significant effect of the covalent interconnection of the amphiphilic graft copolymers with telechelic PEG or XDC on the overall properties provides a good opportunity to modulate the properties and performance of APCN membranes.

Abstract
This study reveals the unique role on Janus particles of the solid-solid interface at the boundary in determining particle interactions and assembly. In an aqueous ionic liquid (IL) solution, Janus spheres adopt intriguing orientations with their boundaries pinned on the glass substrate. It was further discovered that the orientation was affected by the particle amphiphilicity as well as the chemical structure and concentration of the IL. Further characterization suggests that the adsorption on the hydrophilic side is due to both an electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding, while adsorption on the hydrophobic side is due to hydrophobic attraction. Through the concerted interplay of all these interactions, the amphiphilic boundary may attract an excessive amount of IL cations, which guide the unique orientations of the Janus spheres. The results highlight the importance of the Janus boundary that has not been recognized previously. Adsorption at the solid-solid interfaces may inspire new applications in areas such as separation and catalysis.

Abstract
Traditional hydrogels are commonly limited by poor mechanical properties and low oxygen permeability. Bimodal amphiphilic co-networks (β-APCNs) are a new class of materials that can overcome these limitations by combining hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer chains within a network of co-continuous morphology. Applications that can benefit from these improved properties include therapeutic contact lenses, enzymatic catalysis supports, and immunoisolation membranes. The continuous hydrophobic phase could potentially increase the adsorption of plasma proteins in blood-contacting medical applications and compromise in vivo material performance, so it is critical to understand the surface characteristics of β-APCNs and adsorption of plasma proteins on β-APCNs. From real-time spectroscopic visible (Vis) ellipsometry measurements, plasma protein adsorption on β-APCNs is shown to be transport-limited. The adsorption of proteins on the β-APCNs is a multistep process with adsorption to the hydrophilic surface initially, followed by diffusion into the material to the internal hydrophilic/hydrophobic interfaces. Increasing the cross-linking of the PDMS phase reduced the protein intake by limiting the transport of large proteins. Moreover, the internalization of the proteins is confirmed by the difference between the surface-adsorbed protein layer determined from XPS and bulk thickness change from Vis ellipsometry, which can differ up to 20-fold. Desorption kinetics depend on the adsorption history with rapid desorption for slow adsorption rates (i.e., slow-diffusing proteins within the network), whereas proteins with fast adsorption kinetics do not readily desorb. This behavior can be directly related to the ability of the protein to spread or reorient, which affects the binding energy required to bind to the internal hydrophobic interfaces.

Abstract
Breathable and waterproof membranes that self-seal damaged areas are prepared by modifying a poly(ether ester) membrane with an amphiphilic polymer co-network. The latter swells in water and the gel closes punctures. Damaged composite membranes remain water tight up to pressures of at least 1.6 bar. This material is useful for applications where water-vapor permeability, self-sealing properties, and waterproofness are desired, as demonstrated for a medical cooling device.

Abstract
Protein resistance is the central issue in marine antibiofouling. We have prepared poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based polyurethane with 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DEM) as pendant groups by a combination of the thiol-ene click reaction and the condensation reaction. By the use of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR), we have investigated the adsorption of fibrinogen, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and lysozyme on the polymer surface. The polymer exhibits protein resistance in seawater but not in fresh water because DEM pendant groups carry net neutral charges in the former. The evaluation of antibacterial adhesion of the polymer by using Micrococcus luteus demonstrates that the polymer can effectively inhibit the settlement of marine bacteria. Our studies also show that the polymer is degradable in marine environments.

Abstract
Amphiphilic conetworks (APCNs), consisting of hydrophilic poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ester acrylate] (PPEGMEA) and hydrophobic stereocomplex of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(D-lactide) (PDLA), were prepared by free radical copolymerization of PEGMEA with acrylate macromonomer of the PLA stereocomplex. The effects of stereocomplexation and the amount of PLA stereocomplex on the rheology properties of APCNs were investigated. The results indicated that the APCNs was stronger in the presence of stereocomplexation compared with the that of nonstereocomplex system, and the strength of the APCNs increased with the increasing of the amount of PLA stereocomplex. The storage modulus of the APCNs could be easily tuned from 1200 to 4300 Pa by incorporating 2-10% of stereocomplex PLA. On the other hand, the swelling behavior of APCNs decreased with the increasing content of hydrophobic PLA cross-linker.

Abstract
The use of enzymes as biocatalysts in organic media is an important issue in modern white biotechnology. However, their low activity and stability in those media often limits their full-scale application. Amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCNs) have been shown to greatly activate entrapped enzymes in organic solvents. Since these nanostructured materials are not porous, the bioactivity of the conetworks is strongly limited by diffusion of substrate and product. The present manuscript describes two different APCNs as nanostructured microparticles, which showed greatly increased activities of entrapped enzymes compared to those of the already activating membranes and larger particles. We demonstrated this on the example of APCN particles based on PHEA-l-PDMS loaded with α-Chymotrypsin, which resulted in an up to 28,000-fold higher activity of the enzyme compared to the enzyme powder. Furthermore, lipase from Rhizomucor miehei entrapped in particles based on PHEA-l-PEtOx was tested in n-heptane, chloroform, and substrate. Specific activities in smaller particles were 10- to 100-fold higher in comparison to the native enzyme. The carrier activity of PHEA-l-PEtOx microparticles was tenfold higher with some 25-50-fold lower enzyme content compared to a commercial product.
