Effects of Chemical Modifications on the Thermoresponsive Behavior of a PDMAEA-b-PNIPAM-b-POEGA Triblock Terpolymer. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12061382. [PMID: 32575556 PMCID: PMC7361810 DOI: 10.3390/polym12061382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 06/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, the synthesis, selective chemical modifications, and self-assembly behavior in aqueous media of a novel poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate)20-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)11-b-poly(oligo ethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate)18 (PDMAEA20-b-PNIPAM11-b-POEGA18) dual-responsive (pH and temperature) and triply hydrophilic amino-based triblock terpolymer are reported. The amine functional triblock terpolymer was synthesized by sequential reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) polymerization and molecularly characterized by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and 1H-NMR spectroscopy that evidenced the success of the three-step polymerization scheme. The tertiary amine pendant groups of the PDMAEA block were chemically modified in order to produce the Q1PDMAEA20-b-PNIPAM11-b-POEGA18 as well as the Q6PDMAEA20-b-PNIPAM11-b-POEGA18 quaternized triblock terpolymers (Q1 and Q6 prefixes show the number of carbon atoms (C1 and C6) attached on the PDMAEA groups) using methyl iodide (CH3I) and 1-iodohexane (C6H13I) as the quaternizing agents and the SPDMAEA20-b-PNIPAM11-b-POEGA18 sulfobetainized triblock terpolymer using 1,3 propanesultone (C3H6O3S) as the sulfobetainization agent. The self-assembly properties of the triblock terpolymers in aqueous solutions upon varying temperature and solution pH were studied by light scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy experiments. The novel triblock terpolymers self-assemble into nanosized aggregates upon solution temperature rise above the nominal lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the temperature-responsive PNIPAM block. The remarkable stimuli-responsive self-assembly behavior of the novel triblock terpolymers in aqueous media make them interesting candidates for biomedical applications in the fields of drug and gene delivery.

Abstract
The tunable swelling and mechanical properties of nanostructures polymers are crucial parameters for the creation of adaptive devices to be used in diverse fields, such as drug delivery, nanomedicine, and tissue engineering. We present the use of anodic aluminum oxide templates as a nanoreactor to copolymerize butyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate under radical conditions. The copolymer obtained under confinement showed significant differences with respect to the same copolymer obtained in bulk conditions. Molecular weights, molecular weight dispersities, Young's modulus, and wetting behaviors were significantly modified. The combination of selected monomers allowed us to obtain nanopillar structures with an interesting softening surface and extraordinary swelling capacity that could be of special interest to surface science and specifically, cell culture.

Abstract
The increasing price of barrels of oil, global warming, and other environmental problems favor the use of renewable resources to replace the petroleum-based polymers used in various applications. Recently, fatty acids (FAs) and their derivatives have appeared among the most promising candidates to afford novel and innovative bio-based (co)polymers because of their ready availability, their low toxicity, and their high versatility. However, the current literature mostly focused on FA-based polymers prepared by condensation polymerization or oxypolymerization, while only a few works have been devoted to radical polymerization due to the low reactivity of FAs through radical process. Thus, the aim of this Review is to give an overview of (i) the most common synthetic pathways reported in the literature to provide suitable monomers from FAs and their derivatives for radical polymerization, (ii) the available radical processes to afford FA-based (co)polymers, and (iii) the different applications in which FA-based (co)polymers have been used since the past few years.

Abstract
We explored in detail the ordered nanostructures and the ternary phase diagram of the polystyrene-polybutadiene-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (PS-PB-PtBMA) triblock copolymer via dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations and coarse-grained models. The mesoscopic simulations show that the PS-PB-PtBMA copolymer in the bulk state can generate eight equilibrium phase regions with well-defined morphologies such as core-shell variations of spheres, cylinders, perforated layers, lamellar, gyroid, as well as cylinder-in-lamella, spheres-in-lamella, and cylinders in hexagonal lattice. The ordered phases exhibit high dependence on the chemical nature and volume fraction, thus portraying specific composition regions with high thermodynamic stability over a ternary phase diagram. The ternary phase diagram, including all equilibrium and metastable nanostructures detected, is described, and analysed in this work in detail. Finally, our dynamic simulation outcomes agree with experimental results. Our aim is to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between block volume fractions and bulk morphologies in ternary polymer systems.

Abstract
Titanium and stainless steel materials are widely used in numerous devices or in custom parts for their excellent mechanical properties. However, their lack of biocompatibility seriously limits their usage in the biomedical field. This study focuses on the grafting of triblock copolymers on titanium and stainless steel metal susbtrates for improving their general biofouling resistance. The series of copolymers that we designed is composed of two blocks of zwitterionic sulfobetaine (SBMA) monomers and one block of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The number of repeat units forming each block, n, was finely tuned and controlled to 25, 50, 75, or 100, permitting regulation of the grafting thickness, the morphology, and the dependent properties such as the surface hydrophilicity and biofouling resistance. It was shown that the copolymer possessing n = 50 repeat units in each block, corresponding to a molecular weight of about 15.2 kDa, led to the best nonfouling properties, assessed using plasma proteins, blood cells, fibroblasts cells, and various bacteria. This was explained by an optimized grafting degree and chain organization of the copolymer. Lower value (n = 25) and higher values (n = 75, 100) led to low surface coverage and the formation of aggregates, respectively. The best copolymer was grafted onto scalpels (steel) and dental roots (titanium), and antifouling properties demonstrated using Escherichia coli and HT1080 cells. Results of this work show that this unique triblock copolymer holds promise as a potential material for surface modification of biomedical metallic devices, provided a fine-tuning of the blocks organization and length.
