Brushing up from "anywhere" under sunlight: a universal surface-initiated polymerization from polydopamine-coated surfaces.

ABSTRACT: We describe a simple yet extremely versatile and generalized surface polymer modification approach based on a surface initiated polymerization from a polydopamine (PDA) layer. PDA deposits on virtually any substrate independent of specific surface chemistries and can act as a photoinitiating layer to initiate the radical polymerization of a variety of (methyl)acrylic/styrene monomers. It does not require any metal/ligand catalyst, additional photoinitiator or dye sensitizer. Another attractive feature of this novel strategy is the ability to spatially control the architectures (pattern, gradient) of the polymer films by altering the areas of light irradiation. It is also adaptable to large area grafting with an ultra-small amount of monomer solution (a thin monomer solution layer).

Semiconductor nanoparticle-based hydrogels prepared via self-initiated polymerization under sunlight, even visible light.

Project description:Since ancient times, people have used photosynthesized wood, bamboo, and cotton as building and clothing materials. The advantages of photo polymerization include the mild and easy process. However, the direct use of available sunlight for the preparation of materials is still a challenge due to its rather dilute intensity. Here, we show that semiconductor nanoparticles can be used for initiating monomer polymerization under sunlight and for cross-linking to form nanocomposite hydrogels with the aid of clay nanosheets. Hydrogels are an emerging multifunctional platform because they can be easily prepared using solar energy, retain semiconductor nanoparticle properties after immobilization, exhibit excellent mechanical strength (maximum compressive strength of 4.153 MPa and tensile strength 1.535 MPa) and high elasticity (maximum elongation of 2784%), and enable recyclable photodegradation of pollutants. This work suggests that functional nanoparticles can be immobilized in hydrogels for their collective application after combining their mechanical and physiochemical properties.

Universal surface-initiated polymerization of antifouling zwitterionic brushes using a mussel-mimetic peptide initiator.

Project description:We report a universal method for the surface-initated polymerization (SIP) of an antifouling polymer brush on various classes of surfaces, including noble metals, metal oxides, and inert polymers. Inspired by the versatility of mussel adhesive proteins, we synthesized a novel bifunctional tripeptide bromide (BrYKY) that combines atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiating alkyl bromide with l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and lysine. The simple dip-coating of substrates with variable wetting properties and compositions, including Teflon, in a BrYKY solution at pH 8.5 led to the formation of a thin film of cross-linked BrYKY. Subsequently, we showed that the BrYKY layer initiated the ATRP of a zwitterionic monomer, sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA), on all substrates, resulting in high-density antifouling pSBMA brushes. Both BrYKY deposition and pSBMA grafting were unambiguously confirmed by ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and goniometry. All substrates that were coated with BrYKY/pSBMA dramatically reduced bacterial adhesion for 24 h and also resisted mammalian cell adhesion for at least 4 months, demonstrating the long-term stability of the BrYKY anchoring and antifouling properties of pSBMA. The use of BrYKY as a primer and polymerization initiator has the potential to be widely employed in surface-grafted polymer brush modifications for biomedical and other applications.

Controlled Nutrient Delivery to Pancreatic Islets Using Polydopamine-Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Project description:In the present study, we designed a nanoscale platform for the sustained and controlled delivery of nutrients to pancreatic islets-upon transplantation. Our platform consists of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP), loaded with glutamine (G), an essential amino acid required for islet survival and function, and capped with polydopamine (PD). To control the release of glutamine, various concentrations (0.5 - 2 mg/mL) of PD and incubation times (0.5 – 2 h) with MSNPs were investigated in terms of pharmacological properties and biological functions. After extensive testing, PD-G-MSNPs made using PD coating of 0.5 mg/mL incubated for 0.5 h resulted in the optimal platform to maintain the islet viability and functionality in vitro. Following syngeneic renal sub-capsule islet transplantation in STZ-diabetic mice, PD-G-MSNPs improved the engraftment of pancreatic islets as well as their function, resulting in re-establishment of glycemic control. Collectively, our data shows that PD-G-MSNPs can support transplanted islets by providing them with a controlled and sustained supply of nutrients.

Investigation of titanium coated imprinted polystyrene surfaces

Project description:In this study the gene expression differences between two titanium surfaces produced at Maastricht University were investigated. These two surfaces were: flat titanium-coated polystyrene and a titanium-coated polystyrene surface imprinted with a pattern selected from an earlier screening study (Ti1018). This pattern was selected based on the osteoinductive properties observed. As a positive control cells on the flat surface were treated with dexamethasone.

Supramolecular Additive-Initiated Controlled Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization of Zwitterionic Polymers on Ureido-pyrimidinone-Based Biomaterial Surfaces.

Project description:Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization is a popular technique for the modification of biomaterials with, for example, antifouling polymers. Here, we report on the functionalization of a supramolecular biomaterial with zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) via atom transfer radical polymerization from a macroinitiator additive, which is embedded in the hard phase of the ureido-pyrimidinone-based material. Poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) was successfully polymerized from these surfaces, and the polymerized sulfobetaine content, with corresponding antifouling properties, depended on both the macroinitiator additive concentration and polymerization time. Furthermore, the polymerization from the macroinitiator additive was successfully translated to functional electrospun scaffolds, showing the potential for this functionalization strategy in supramolecular material systems.

Microwave-Induced Chemotoxicity of Polydopamine-Coated Magnetic Nanocubes.

Project description:Polydopamine-coated FeCo nanocubes (PDFCs) were successfully synthesized and tested under microwave irradiation of 2.45 GHz frequency and 0.86 W/cm(2) power. These particles were found to be non-toxic in the absence of irradiation, but gained significant toxicity upon irradiation. Interestingly, no increase in relative heating rate was observed when the PDFCs were irradiated in solution, eliminating nanoparticle (NP)-induced thermal ablation as the source of toxicity. Based on these studies, we propose that microwave-induced redox processes generate the observed toxicity.

Palladium-Supported Polydopamine-Coated NiFe2O4@TiO2: A Sole Photocatalyst for Suzuki and Sonogashira Coupling Reactions under Sunlight Irradiation.

Project description:The effective utilization of solar energy in synthetic organic chemistry has gained extensive attention owing to its enormous energy and environmentally benign nature. In this context, we designed and synthesized a magnetically retrievable, sole palladium (Pd)-supported polydopamine-coated core@shell (NiFe2O4@TiO2) heterogeneous nanophotocatalyst for Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling reactions under sunlight irradiation. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier-transform infrared, UV-vis, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer analysis. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanocatalyst under sunlight irradiation was assessed for both Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling reactions, where it worked excellently well with a high yield of the product up to 98 and 96%, respectively. Its efficacy was also investigated in the conversion of substituted substrates in both the coupling reactions into desired biaryls and diarylacetylenes. Unique features of the synthesized catalyst are (i) its effective performance for both the aforesaid coupling reactions under ambient reaction conditions for a short reaction time in polar protic solvents (ethanolic water/EtOH) with good yield without any byproduct, (ii) magnetic retrieval of the catalyst from the reaction mixture employing an external magnet is an added advantage, and (iii) the retrieved catalyst could potentially be reutilized for up to five consecutive runs without appreciable diminution of catalytic efficacy, and its stability was confirmed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy analysis and XRD.

Using γ-Ray Polymerization-Induced Assemblies to Synthesize Polydopamine Nanocapsules.

Project description:This work reports a simple and robust strategy for synthesis of polydopamine nanocapsules (PDA NCs). First, polymer assemblies were synthesized by a γ-ray-induced liquid-liquid (H2O-acrylate) interface polymerization strategy, in the absence of any surfactants. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analysis and molecular dynamics simulation reveal that the generation of polymer assemblies largely depends on the hydrophilicity of acrylate and gravity of the oligomers at the interface. By virtue of the spherical structure and mechanic stability of the polymer assemblies, PDA NCs are next prepared by the interfacial polymerization of dopamine onto the assemblies, followed by the removal of templates by using ethanol. The polydopamine nanocapsules are shown to load and release ciprofloxacin (CIP, a model drug), such that the CIP-loaded PDA NCs are able to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli.

Fabrication of Defined Polydopamine Nanostructures by DNA Origami-Templated Polymerization.

Project description:A versatile, bottom-up approach allows the controlled fabrication of polydopamine (PD) nanostructures on DNA origami. PD is a biosynthetic polymer that has been investigated as an adhesive and promising surface coating material. However, the control of dopamine polymerization is challenged by the multistage-mediated reaction mechanism and diverse chemical structures in PD. DNA origami decorated with multiple horseradish peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme motifs was used to control the shape and size of PD formation with nanometer resolution. These fabricated PD nanostructures can serve as "supramolecular glue" for controlling DNA origami conformations. Facile liberation of the PD nanostructures from the DNA origami templates has been achieved in acidic medium. This presented DNA origami-controlled polymerization of a highly crosslinked polymer provides a unique access towards anisotropic PD architectures with distinct shapes that were retained even in the absence of the DNA origami template.
