Abstract
A dip-coating technique is designed for deposition of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) from water/2-propanol mixture, avoiding the use of traditional toxic solvents. Solutions of PMMA macromolecules with high molecular weight (MW) are obtained for a water/2-propanol ratio of 0.15-0.33 and the solubilization mechanism is discussed. The ability to use concentrated PMMA solutions and high MW of the polymer are the key factors for the successful dip coating deposition. The coating mass for 10 g L-1 polymer solutions shows a maximum at a water/2-propanol ratio of 0.25. The deposition yield increases with the polymer concentration increase and with an increasing number of the deposited layers. PMMA deposits protect stainless steel from aqueous corrosion. The coating technique allows for the fabrication of composite coatings, containing flame-retardant materials (FRMs), such as commercial halloysite, huntite, hydrotalcite, and synthesized Al(OH)3, in the PMMA matrix. The FRM content in the coatings is modified by variation of the FRM content in colloidal suspensions. A fundamentally new method is developed, which is based on the salting out aided dispersive extraction of Al(OH)3 from the aqueous synthesis medium to 2-propanol. It is based on the use of hexadecylphosphonic acid molecules as extractors. The method offers advantages of reduced agglomeration.

Abstract
For the first time, an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method has been developed for the deposition of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and PMMA-alumina films for biomedical implant applications. The proposed biomimetic approach was based on the use of a bile salt, sodium cholate (NaCh), which served as a multifunctional solubilizing, charging, dispersing and film-forming agent. Investigations revealed PMMA-Ch- and PMMA-alumina interactions, which facilitated the deposition of PMMA and PMMA-alumina films. This approach allows for the use of a non-toxic water-ethanol solvent for PMMA. The proposed deposition strategy can also be used for co-deposition of PMMA with other functional materials. The PMMA and composite films were tested for biomedical implant applications. The PMMA-alumina films showed statistically improved metabolic results compared to both the bare stainless steel substrate and pure PMMA films. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity affirmed the bioactivity and osteoconductive potential of PMMA and composite films. PMMA-alumina films showed greater ALP activity than both the PMMA-coated and uncoated stainless steel.

Abstract
The influence of pore size, relative block size, and solvent quality on the extent of diblock copolymer adsorption on alumina surfaces was determined. To this end, the block copolymer that was chosen was poly(styrene)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA), in which the PMMA block strongly chemisorbs to the surface and the PS block weakly physisorbs. Several architectures (i.e., different ratios of M(n(PMMA)) and M(n)((PS))) of the PS-b-PMMA copolymers were adsorbed from various solvents onto porous alumina membranes with various pore sizes. It was determined that the diblock copolymer coverage decreased significantly as the pore size decreased, similar to the behavior of the PMMA homopolymer under the same conditions. However, the coverage decreased as the molecular weight of the anchoring block (PMMA) increased for all pore sizes, which is in contrast to the behavior of the PMMA homopolymer under the same conditions. The dependence of the coverage on the relative block size and solvent quality is analyzed on the basis of the anchor-buoy model and the deviation from it in a nonideal system. The results presented in this work are relevant to the study of block copolymer conformation in solutions and on surfaces, adsorption chromatography, and solvent sensors and controls.

Abstract
Micrometer- and submicrometer-scale surface roughness enhances osteoblast differentiation on titanium (Ti) substrates and increases bone-to-implant contact in vivo. However, the low surface wettability induced by surface roughness can retard initial interactions with the physiological environment. We examined chemical modifications of Ti surfaces [pretreated (PT), R(a) ≤ 0.3 μm; sand blasted/acid etched (SLA), R(a) ≥ 3.0 μm] in order to modify surface hydrophilicity. We designed coating layers of polyelectrolytes that did not alter the surface microstructure but increased surface ionic character, including chitosan (CHI), poly(L-glutamic acid) (PGA), and poly(L-lysine) (PLL). Ti disks were cleaned and sterilized. Surface chemical composition, roughness, wettability, and morphology of surfaces before and after polyelectrolyte coating were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact mode profilometry, contact angle measurement, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). High-resolution XPS spectra data validated the formation of polyelectrolyte layers on top of the Ti surface. The surface coverage of the polyelectrolyte adsorbed on Ti surfaces was evaluated with the pertinent SEM images and XPS peak intensity as a function of polyelectrolyte adsorption time on the Ti surface. PLL was coated in a uniform thin layer on the PT surface. CHI and PGA were coated evenly on PT, albeit in an incomplete monolayer. CHI, PGA, and PLL were coated on the SLA surface with complete coverage. The selected polyelectrolytes enhanced surface wettability without modifying surface roughness. These chemically modified surfaces on implant devices can contribute to the enhancement of osteoblast differentiation.

Controlling surface porosity and release from hydrogels using a colloidal particle coating. J Colloid Interface Sci 2010; 349:498-504.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that coating microcapsules by a shell composed of impenetrable colloidal particles (thereby forming 'colloidosomes') can be used to control surface porosity, and therefore, permeability. The voids between the particles in the coating define the size of the surface pores available for transport. However, to date, data demonstrating this selectivity has been largely qualitative. In this paper we examine, quantitatively, the effect of a surface coating (shell), composed of colloidal particles, on release from hydrogels. We find that the presence of a colloidal shell does indeed reduce the rate of transport of three model molecules: Aspirin, caffeine, and FITC-dextran with MW of approximately 3000-5000. Contrary to expectation, however, we find that for all three molecules the reduction in transport rate is largely independent of the dimensions of the particles composing the shell, despite differences that range over three orders of magnitude. In the case of the small molecules, caffeine and aspirin, the colloidal shell reduces the effective diffusion coefficient by a factor of 3. In the case of dextran, the suppression in the release rate due to the colloidal shell was much larger. These results are explained using a simple diffusion model that accounts for the volume fraction and diameter of the colloidal particles in the shell, and the size of the diffusing molecules.
