Abstract
Introduction Vascular tissue engineering is a key technology in the field of regenerative medicine. In tissue engineering, the separation of vascular cells without cell modification is required, as cell modifications affect the intrinsic properties of the cells. In this study, we have developed an effective method for separating vascular cells without cell modification, using a thermoresponsive anionic block copolymer. Methods A thermoresponsive anionic block copolymer, poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(N-isopropylacryl-amide) (PAAc-b-PNIPAAm), with various PNIPAAm segment lengths, was prepared in two steps: atom transfer radical polymerization and subsequent deprotection. Normal human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), normal human dermal fibroblasts, and human aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were seeded onto the prepared thermoresponsive anionic block copolymer brush-modified glass. The adhesion behavior of cells on the copolymer brush was observed at 37 °C and 20 °C. Results A thermoresponsive anionic block copolymer, poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PAAc-b-PNIPAAm), with various PNIPAAm segment lengths was prepared. The prepared copolymer-modified glass exhibited anionic properties attributed to the bottom PAAc segment of the copolymer brush. On the PAAc-b-PNIPAAm, which had a moderate PNIPAAm length, a high adhesion ratio of HUVECs and low adhesion ratio of SMCs were observed at 37 °C. By reducing temperature from 37 °C to 20 °C, the adhered HUVECs were detached, whereas the SMCs maintained adhesion, leading to the recovery of purified HUVECs by changing the temperature. Conclusions The prepared thermoresponsive anionic copolymer-modified glass could be used to separate HUVECs and SMCs by changing the temperature without modifying the cell surface. Therefore, the developed cell separation method will be useful for vascular tissue engineering.

Abstract
In recent decades, various bioanalytical technologies have been investigated for appropriate medical treatment and effective therapy. Temperature-responsive chromatography is a promising bioanalytical technology owing to its functional properties. Temperature-responsive chromatography uses a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm) modified stationary phase as the column packing material. The hydrophobic interactions between PNIPAAm and the analyte could be modulated by changing the column temperature because of the temperature-responsive hydrophobicity of PNIPAAm. Thus, the chromatography system does not require organic solvents in the mobile phase, making it suitable for therapeutic drug monitoring in medical settings such as hospitals. This review summarizes recent developments in temperature-responsive chromatography systems for therapeutic drug monitoring applications. In addition, separation methods for antibody drugs using PNIPAAm are also summarized because these methods apply to the therapeutic drug monitoring of biopharmaceutics. The temperature-responsive chromatography systems can also be utilized for clinical diagnosis, as they can assess multiple medicines simultaneously. This highlights the significant potential of temperature-responsive chromatography in medicine and healthcare.

Mater Today Bio 2023; 20:100627.

Abstract
During the last few decades, thermoresponsive materials for modulating cell adhesion have been investigated for the application of tissue engineering. In this study, we developed thermoresponsive mixed polymer brushes consisting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and poly(N,N-dimethylaminopropylacrylamide) (PDMAPAAm). The mixed polymer brushes were prepared on a glass substrate via the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of DMAPAAm and subsequent atom transfer radical polymerization of NIPAAm. The mixed polymer brushes grafted to glass exhibited increased cationic properties by increasing the grafted PDMAPAAm length. The shrinking and extension of PNIPAAm exposed and concealed PDMAPAAm, respectively, indicating that the surface cationic properties can be controlled by changing the temperature. At 37 °C, the prepared mixed polymer brushes enhanced cell adhesion through their electrostatic interactions with cells. They also exhibited various thermoresponsive adhesion and detachment properties using various types of cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells. Temperature-controlled cell adhesion and detachment behavior differed between cell types. Using the prepared mixed polymer brush, we separated MSCs from adipocytes and HeLa cells by simply changing the temperature. Thus, the thermoresponsive mixed polymer brushes may be used to separate mesenchymal stem cells from their differentiated or contaminant cells by altering the temperature.

Abstract
The microstructure of the binary polymer brushes in the selective solvent was studied using the numerical lattice self-consisting field approach. The case was considered when the selectivity to the solvent (the Flory-Huggins parameter χ) was varied only for one type of chains (responsive chains) while the others (non-responsive chains) remained hydrophilic (χ = 0). In such a brush, with an increase in the hydrophobicity of the responsive chains, a transition occurs between two two-layer microstructures. In the initial state the ends of the longer responsive chains are located near the external surface of the brush and those of non-responsive chains are inside the brush. When the hydrophobicity of the responsive chains becomes high enough then the reversed two-layer microstructure is formed, when the ends of non-responsive chains are located near the brush surface and the responsive chains collapse on the brush bottom. In contrast to previous works, the stiffness parameter (Kuhn segment length p) for one or for both types of chains was varied and its effect on the mechanism and characteristics of the transition was studied. If the stiffness of only responsive chains increases, then the transition occurs with the formation of an intermediate three-layer microstructure, where a layer of responsive chains is located between layers formed by non-responsive ones. If both types of chains have the same p, then the transition occurs gradually without the formation of an intermediate three-layer microstructure. For both cases, the effect of p on the critical value of χ*, corresponding to the transition point and on the steepness of the transition was investigated.

Abstract
The existing methods for exosome isolation, such as ultracentrifugation, size exclusion, and affinity separation, suffer from some limitations. Herein, we aimed to develop temperature-modulated exosome-capturing materials using thermoresponsive polymers and peptides with affinity for exosomes. Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-propargyl acrylate)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (P(HEMA-co-PgA)-b-PNIPAAm) was grafted on silica beads via a two-step process of activator regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization. Peptides with affinity for exosomes were conjugated to the propargyl group of the bottom P(HEMA-co-PgA) segment of the copolymer via a click reaction. The prepared copolymer-grafted beads were characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, gel permeation chromatography, and the turbidity of the polymer solution. Results indicated that the copolymer and peptide were successfully modified on the silica beads. Exosomes from SK-BR-3 cells, a human breast cancer cell line, were selectively captured on the prepared beads at 37 °C, as the upper PNIPAAm segment shrank and the affinity between the peptide and exosome was enhanced. Upon lowering the temperature to 4 °C, the captured exosomes were released from the copolymer brush because of the extension of the PNIPAAm segment that reduced the affinity between peptides and exosomes. These findings demonstrated that the prepared copolymer brush-grafted silica beads can capture and release targeted exosomes via temperature modulation. Taken together, the developed copolymer brush-grafted silica beads would be useful for the separation of exosomes using simple procedures such as temperature modulation.

Abstract
Hepatic tissue engineering may be an effective approach for the treatment of liver disease; however, its practical application requires hepatic cell separation technologies that do not involve cell surface modification and maintain cell activity. In this study, we developed hepatocyte cell separation materials using a thermoresponsive polymer and a polymer with high affinity to hepatocytes. A block copolymer of poly(N-p-vinylbenzyl-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-gluconamide) (PVLA) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) [PVLA-b-PNIPAAm] was prepared through two steps of atom transfer radical polymerization. On the prepared PVLA-b-PNIPAAm brush, HepG2 cells (model hepatocytes) adhered at 37 °C and detached at 20 °C, attributed to the temperature-modulated affinity between PVLA and HepG2. Cells from the immortalized human hepatic stellate cell line (TWNT-1) did not adhere to the copolymer brush, and RAW264.7 cells (mouse macrophage; model Kupffer cells) adhered to the copolymer brush, regardless of temperature. Using the difference in cell adhesion properties on the copolymer brush, temperature-modulated cell separation was successfully demonstrated. A mixture of HepG2, RAW264.7, and TWNT-1 cells was seeded on the copolymer brush at 37 °C for adherence. By reducing the temperature to 20 °C, adhered HepG2 cells were selectively recovered with a purity of approximately 85% and normal activity. In addition, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived hepatocytes adhered on the PVLA-b-PNIPAAm brush at 37 °C and detached from the copolymer brush at 20 °C, whereas the undifferentiated iPS cells did not adhere, indicating that the prepared PVLA-b-PNIPAAm brush could be utilized to separate hepatocyte differentiated and undifferentiated cells. These results indicated that the newly developed PVLA-b-PNIPAAm brush can separate hepatic cells from contaminant cells by temperature modulation, without affecting cell activity or modifying the cell surface. Thus, the copolymer brush is expected to be a useful separation tool for cell therapy and tissue engineering using hepatocytes.

Abstract
Modern biomedical technologies predict the application of materials and devices that not only can comply effectively with specific requirements, but also enable remote control of their functions. One of the most prospective materials for these advanced biomedical applications are materials based on temperature-responsive polymer brush coatings (TRPBCs). In this review, methods for the fabrication and characterization of TRPBCs are summarized, and possibilities for their application, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the TRPBCs, are presented in detail. Special attention is paid to the mechanisms of thermo-responsibility of the TRPBCs. Applications of TRPBCs for temperature-switchable bacteria killing, temperature-controlled protein adsorption, cell culture, and temperature-controlled adhesion/detachment of cells and tissues are considered. The specific criteria required for the desired biomedical applications of TRPBCs are presented and discussed.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring, which is used to determine appropriate drug doses, is critical in pharmacological therapy. In this study, we developed thermoresponsive chromatography columns with various cationic properties for effective therapeutic drug monitoring. Thermoresponsive cationic copolymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-n-butyl methacrylate-co-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl acrylamide) (P(NIPAAm-co-BMA-co-DMAPAAm))-modified silica beads, which were used as the chromatographic stationary phase, were prepared by modifying the radical initiator of the silica beads, followed by radical polymerization. Characterization of the prepared silica beads demonstrated that thermoresponsive polymers with various cationic properties successfully modified the beads. The elution behavior of several steroids in the prepared bead-packed columns at various temperatures indicated that the optimal column operating temperature was 30 °C. Appropriate measurement conditions for 13 drugs were investigated by varying the cationic properties of the columns and the pH of the mobile phase. Drug concentrations in serum samples were determined using the developed columns and mobile phases with a suitable pH. Voriconazole concentrations in human serum samples were determined using the developed columns with all-aqueous mobile phases. We anticipate that the developed chromatography columns can be used for therapeutic drug monitoring because drug concentrations can be measured using all-aqueous mobile phases that are suitable in clinical settings.

Abstract
In this study, mixed-mode chromatography columns have been investigated using multiple analyte interactions. A mixed-mode chromatography column was developed using poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) brush-modified silica beads and poly(3-acrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride) (PAPTAC) brush-modified silica beads. PNIPAAm brush-modified silica beads and PAPTAC brush-modified silica beads were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization. The beads were then packed into a stainless-steel column in arbitrary compositions. The elution studies evaluated the column performance on hydrophobic, electrostatic, and therapeutic drug samples using steroids, adenosine nucleotide, and antiepileptic drugs as analytes, respectively. Steroids exhibited an increased retention time when the column temperature was increased. The retention of adenosine nucleotides increased with the increasing composition of the PAPTAC-modified beads in the column. The antiepileptic drugs were separated using the prepared mixed-mode columns. An effective separation of antiepileptic drugs was observed on a 10:1 PNIPAAm:PAPTAC column because the balance between the hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions with antiepileptic drugs was optimized for the bead composition. Oligonucleotides were also separated using mixed-mode columns through multiple hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. These results demonstrate that the developed mixed-mode column can modulate multiple hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions by changing the column temperature and composition of the packed PNIPAAm and PAPTAC beads.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is an effective pharmacological approach for controlling drug concentration in a patient's serum. Herein, a new two-dimensional chromatography system was developed using two poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)-modified bead-packed columns for effective and safe drug monitoring. PNIPAAm-modified silica beads were prepared as packing materials using atom transfer radical polymerization of NIPAAm. The increase in the retention times of the drugs requiring TDM with increasing temperature, was attributed to enhanced hydrophobic interactions at elevated temperatures. The drugs and serum proteins were separated on the prepared column at 40 °C using an all-aqueous mobile phase. Differences in the hydrophobic interactions accounted for the elution of the serum proteins and drugs at short and long retention times, respectively, and a primary column was employed to separate the serum proteins and drugs. After eluting the serum proteins from the column, the drug was introduced into the secondary column, leading to a peak of its purified form and enabling determination of the drug concentration. Two-dimensional temperature-responsive chromatography can benefit TDM by allowing the drug concentration in the serum to be measured in all-aqueous mobile phases without sample preparation.

Abstract
Polymer brushes possess unique changes in physical and chemical properties when they are exposed to external stimuli and have a wide range of applications. Self-oscillating polymers are anchored on surfaces of certain materials and are coupled with some self-oscillating reactions (with the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction as an example) to form self-oscillating polymer brushes. As an independent field of stimulus response functional surface research, the development of new intelligent bionic materials has good potential. This article reviews the oscillation mechanisms of self-oscillating polymer brushes and their classifications. First, the oscillation mechanisms of self-oscillating polymer brushes are introduced. Second, the research progress in self-oscillating polymers is discussed in terms of the type of self-oscillation reactions. Finally, possible future developments of self-oscillating polymer brushes are prospected. Polymer brushes possess unique changes in physical and chemical properties when they are exposed to external stimuli and have a wide range of applications.![]()

Temperature responsive chromatography for therapeutic drug monitoring with an aqueous mobile phase. Sci Rep 2021; 11:23508.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring is a key technology for effective pharmacological treatment. In the present study, a temperature-responsive chromatography column was developed for safe and simple therapeutic drug monitoring without the use of organic solvents. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogel-modified silica beads were prepared via a condensation reaction and radical polymerization. The temperature-dependent elution behavior of the drugs was observed using a PNIPAAm-modified silica-bead packed column and an all-aqueous mobile phase. Sharp peaks with reproducible retention times were observed at temperatures of 30 °C or 40 °C because the PNIPAAm hydrogel on the silica beads shrinks at these temperatures, limiting drug diffusion into the PNIPAAm hydrogel layer. The elution behavior of the sample from the prepared column was examined using a mixture of serum and model drugs. The serum and drugs were separated on the column at 30 °C or 40 °C, and the concentration of the eluted drug was obtained using the calibration curve. The results show that the prepared chromatography column would be useful for therapeutic drug monitoring because the drug concentration in serum can be measured without using organic solvents in the mobile phase and without any need for sample preparation.

Abstract
Temperature Responsive Liquid Chromatography (TRLC) offers an alternative and environmentally friendly way to perform reversed-phase like separations. Its use of temperature responsive polymers to control retention based on column temperature, instead of the fraction of organic modifier in the mobile phase mobile, eliminates the need for solvent composition gradients and allows, for example, for purely aqueous separations. In principle this temperature induced retention should allow for gradient elutions to be performed using downward temperature gradients to control retention and refocus the analyte peaks. Yet, the unavailability of dedicated commercial temperature controlling systems allowing suitable temperature control in TRLC limits implementations thereof often to isothermal or step gradient applications. In this work we study the potential of 1) a simple yet programmable water bath and of 2) a modified HPLC system allowing column temperature programming through controlled mixing of a warm and cold mobile phase streams. The performance of both systems was evaluated under both isocratic and gradient applications, resulting in a more thorough understanding of the influence of temperature gradients in TRLC. This knowledge is then applied to a sample of phenolic solutes, illustrating that, although both systems have some flaws, both are able to impose temperature gradients in TRLC resulting in significantly reduced retention and enhanced refocusing of the analyte peak.

Abstract
We present a temperature-responsive spin column using an all-aqueous eluent. The method is intended as a simple sample preparation method for protein removal from serum, which is required for serum drug analysis. As packing materials for the spin column, we prepared two types of silica beads via surface-initiated radical polymerization. The large beads (diameter, 40-63 μm) were grafted with a temperature-responsive cationic copolymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl acrylamide-co-n-butyl methacrylate) (P(NIPAAm-co-DMAPAAm-co-BMA)), and the small beads (diameter, 5 μm) were grafted with a temperature-responsive hydrophobic copolymer, P(NIPAAm-co-BMA). The beads were packed into the spin column as a double layer: P(NIPAAm-co-BMA) silica beads on the bottom and P(NIPAAm-co-DMAPAAm-co-BMA) silica beads on the top. The sample purification efficacy of the prepared spin column was evaluated on a model sample analyte (the antifungal drug voriconazole mixed with blood serum proteins). At 40 °C, the serum proteins and voriconazole were adsorbed on the prepared spin column via hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. When the temperature was decreased to 4 °C, the adsorbed voriconazole was eluted from the column with the pure water eluent, while the serum proteins remained in the column. This temperature-responsive spin column realizes sample preparation simply by changing the temperature.

Abstract
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) is the most well-known and widely used stimuli-responsive polymer in the biomedical field owing to its ability to undergo temperature-dependent hydration and dehydration with temperature variations, causing hydrophilic and hydrophobic alterations. This temperature-dependent property of PNIPAAm provides functionality to interfaces containing PNIPAAm. Notably, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic alterations caused by the change in the temperature-responsive property of PNIPAAm-modified interfaces induce temperature-modulated interactions with biomolecules, proteins, and cells. This intrinsic property of PNIPAAm can be effectively used in various biomedical applications, particularly in bioseparation and tissue engineering applications, owing to the functionality of PNIPAAm-modified interfaces based on the temperature modulation of the interaction between PNIPAAm-modified interfaces and biomolecules and cells. This review focuses on PNIPAAm-modified interfaces in terms of preparation method, properties, and their applications. Advances in PNIPAAm-modified interfaces for existing and developing applications are also summarized.

Abstract
As a novel functional surface, a self-oscillating polymer brush that undergoes autonomous, periodic swelling/deswelling during the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction has been developed. Although extensive research has revealed how the fundamental aspects of the BZ reaction can be regulated based on the surface design of the self-oscillating polymer brush, design strategies for the induction of mechanical oscillation remain unexplored. Herein, we investigated the graft density effects on the phase transition behavior, which is an important design parameter for the mechanical oscillation of the modified polymer. The self-oscillating polymer-modified substrates with controlled graft densities were prepared by immobilizing various compositions of an initiator and a noninitiator followed by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of the self-oscillating polymer chains. In addition to the characterization of each prepared substrate, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and digital holographic microscopy (DHM) were employed to evaluate the density effects on the static and dynamic surface structures. AFM revealed that equilibrium swelling as well as thermoresponsive behavior is profoundly affected by the graft density. Moreover, using DHM, autonomous mechanical oscillation was captured only on the self-oscillating polymer brush with adequate graft density. Notably, the oscillation amplitude (150 nm) and the period (20 s) in this study were superior to those in a previous report on the self-oscillating polymer modified through the grafting-to method by 10- and 3-fold, respectively. This study presents design guidelines for future applications, such as autonomous transport devices.

Abstract
Antibody drugs play an important role in biopharmaceuticals, because of the specificity for target biomolecules and reduction of side effects. Thus, separation and analysis techniques for these antibody drugs have increased in importance. In the present study, we develop functional chromatography matrices for antibody drug separation and analysis. Three types of polymers, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm)-co-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS)-co-N-phenyl acrylamide (PhAAm)), P(NIPAAm-co-AMPS-co-n-butyl methacrylate (BMA)), and P(NIPAAm-co-AMPS-co-tert-butylacrylamide (tBAAm)), were modified on silica beads through atom transfer radical polymerisation. Rituximab elution profiles were observed using the prepared beads-packed column. Rituximab adsorption at high temperature and elution at low temperature from the column were observed, as a result of the temperature-modulated electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Using the column, rituximab purification from contaminants was performed simply by changing the temperature. Additionally, three types of antibody drugs were separated using the column through temperature-modulated hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. These results demonstrate that the temperature-responsive column can be applied for the separation and analysis of biopharmaceuticals through a simple control of the column temperature.

Abstract
Temperature responsive liquid chromatography (TRLC) allows for separation of organic solutes in purely aqueous mobile phases whereby retention is controlled through temperature. The vast majority of the work has thus far been performed on poly[N-isopropylacrylamide] (PNIPAAm)-based columns, while the performance of other temperature responsive polymers has rarely been compared under identical conditions. Therefore, in this work, two novel TRLC phases based on poly[N-n-propylacrylamide] (PNNPAAm) and poly[N,N-diethylacrylamide] (PDEAAm) are reported and compared to the state of the art PNIPAAm based column. Optimal comparison is thereby obtained by the use of controlled radical polymerizations, identical molecular weights, and by maximizing carbon loads on the silica supporting material. Analysis of identical test mixtures of homologue series and pharmaceutical samples revealed that PNNPAAm performs in a similar way as PNIPAAm while offering enhanced retention and a shift of the useable temperature range toward lower temperatures. PDEAAm offers a range of novel possibilities as it depicts a different selectivity, allowing for enhanced resolution in TRLC in, for example, coupled column systems. Reduced plate heights of 3 could be obtained on the homemade columns, offering the promise for reasonable column efficiencies in TRLC despite the use of bulky polymers as stationary phases in HPLC.

Abstract
There is strong demand for cell separation methods that do not decrease cell activity or modify cell surfaces. Here, new temperature-modulated cell-separation columns not requiring cell-surface premodification are described. The columns were packed with temperature-responsive cationic polymer hydrogel-modified silica beads. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-n-butyl methacrylate-co-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl acrylamide) hydrogels with various cationic moieties were attached to silica-bead surfaces by radical polymerization using N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinking agent. The beads were packed into solid-phase extraction columns, and temperature-dependent cell elution from the columns was found using HL-60 and Jurkat cells. The retention HL-60 and Jurkat cells in columns containing cationic beads at 37 °C was 95.3% to 99.6% and 95.0% to 98.8%, respectively. By contrast, beads without cationic properties exhibited low cell retention (20.6% for HL-60 and 32.5% for Jurkat cells). The cells were mainly retained through both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The retained HL-60 (4.9%) and Jurkat cells (40%) were eluted at 4 °C from the column with a low composition of cationic monomer (DMAPAAm, 1 mol% in copolymer), because the temperature-responsive hydrogels on the beads became hydrophilic, decreasing the hydrophobic interactions between the cells and the beads. A higher number of Jurkat cells than HL-60 cells were eluted because of differences in their electrostatic properties (Jurkat cells: -2.53 mV; HL-60 cells: -20.7 mV). The results indicated that cell retention by the hydrogel-coated beads packed in a solid phase extraction column could be modulated simply by changing the temperature.

Abstract
Thermoresponsive surfaces, prepared by grafting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) or its copolymers, have been investigated for biomedical applications. Thermoresponsive cell culture dishes that show controlled cell adhesion and detachment following external temperature changes, represent a promising application of thermoresponsive surfaces. These dishes can be used to fabricate cell sheets, which are currently used as effective therapies for patients. Thermoresponsive microcarriers for large-scale cell cultivation have also been developed by taking advantage of the thermally modulated cell adhesion and detachment properties of thermoresponsive surfaces. Furthermore, thermoresponsive bioseparation systems using thermoresponsive surfaces for separating and purifying pharmaceutical proteins and therapeutic cells have been developed, with the separation systems able to maintain their activity and biological potency throughout the procedure. These applications of thermoresponsive surfaces have been improved with progress in preparation techniques of thermoresponsive surfaces, such as polymerization methods, and surface modification techniques. In the present review, the various types of PIPAAm-based thermoresponsive surfaces are summarized by describing their preparation methods, properties, and successful biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this report, we present a novel modular approach to the immobilization of a high density of boronic acid ligands on thermoresponsive block copolymer brushes for effective enrichment of glycoproteins via their synergistic multiple covalent binding with the immobilized boronic acids. Specifically, a two-step, consecutive surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) was employed to graft a flexible block copolymer brush, pNIPAm-b-pGMA, from an initiator-functionalized nanosilica surface, followed by postpolymerization modification of the pGMA moiety with sodium azide. Subsequently, an alkyne-tagged boronic acid (PCAPBA) was conjugated to the polymer brush via a Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction, leading to a silica-supported polymeric hybrid material, Si@pNIPAm-b-pBA, with a potent glycol binding affinity. The obtained core-brush nanocomposite was systematically characterized with regard to particle size, morphology, organic content, brush density, and number of immobilized boronic acids. We also studied the characteristics of glycoprotein binding of the nanocomposite under different conditions. The nanocomposite showed high binding capacities for ovalbumin (OVA) (98.0 mg g-1) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (26.8 mg g-1) in a basic buffer (pH 9.0) at 20 °C. More importantly, by adjusting the pH and temperature, the binding capacities of the nanocomposite can be tuned, which is meaningful for the separation of biological molecules. In general, the synthetic approach developed for the fabrication of block copolymer brushes in the nanocomposite opened new opportunities for the design of more functional hybrid materials that will be useful in bioseparation and biomedical applications.

Abstract
The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical properties of interfaces and has given rise to great advances in surface and interface engineering. Polymer brushes are defined as thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. Significant advances have been made over the past years in the field of polymer brushes. This includes novel developments in SI-CRP, as well as the emergence of novel applications such as catalysis, electronics, nanomaterial synthesis and biosensing. Additionally, polymer brushes prepared via SI-CRP have been utilized to modify the surface of novel substrates such as natural fibers, polymer nanofibers, mesoporous materials, graphene, viruses and protein nanoparticles. The last years have also seen exciting advances in the chemical and physical characterization of polymer brushes, as well as an ever increasing set of computational and simulation tools that allow understanding and predictions of these surface-grafted polymer architectures. The aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive review that critically assesses recent advances in the field and highlights the opportunities and challenges for future work.
