Encapsulated Dye/Polymer Nanoparticles Prepared via Miniemulsion Polymerization for Inkjet Printing.

ABSTRACT: Owing to its simple operation and minimal generation of pollutants, miniemulsion polymerization has attracted increasing interest in the field of inkjet printing. In this study, different dyes were encapsulated with styrene-co-butyl acrylate copolymers via miniemulsion polymerization. The encapsulated dye/polymer nanoparticles were spherical with an apparent shell-core structure, narrow size distributions, and good thermal stability. These nanoparticles were used as miniemulsion inks that could remain unchanged with good photostability for a long time. The miniemulsion ink was successfully applied to inkjet printing on paper with bright colors and good fluency, and the dyeing of cotton fabrics indicated that these nanoparticles possessed good rubbing and washing fastness. All of these results suggest that the miniemulsion ink is a potential substitute for inks based on traditional dyes in inkjet printing.

Tailored Composite Polymer-Metal Nanoparticles by Miniemulsion Polymerization and Thiol-ene Functionalization.

Project description:A simple and modular synthetic approach, based on miniemulsion polymerization, has been developed for the fabrication of composite polymer-metal nanoparticle materials. The procedure produces well-defined composite structures consisting of gold, silver or MnFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles (?10 nm in diameter) encapsulated within larger spherical nanoparticles of poly(divinylbenzene) (?100 nm in diameter). This methodology readily permits the incorporation of multiple metal domains into a single polymeric particle, while still preserving the useful optical and magnetic properties of the metal nanoparticles. The morphology of the composite particles is retained upon increasing the inorganic content, and also upon redispersion in organic solvents. Finally, the ability to tailor the surface chemistry of the composite nanoparticles and incorporate steric stabilizing groups using simple thiol-ene chemistry is demonstrated.

Cellular uptake of functional nanogels prepared by inverse miniemulsion ATRP with encapsulated proteins, carbohydrates, and gold nanoparticles.

Project description:Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used to produce a versatile drug delivery system capable of encapsulating a range of molecules. Inverse miniemulsion ATRP permitted the synthesis of biocompatible and uniformly cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide)-based nanogels entrapping gold nanoparticles, bovine serum albumin, rhodamine B isothiocyanate-dextran, or fluoresceine isothiocyanate-dextran. These moieties were entrapped to validate several biological outcomes and to model delivery of range of molecules. Cellular uptake of nanogels was verified by transmission electron microscopy, gel electrophoresis, Western blotting, confocal microscopy, and flow cytometry. Fluorescent colocalization of nanogels with a fluorophore-conjugated antibody for clathrin indicated clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Furthermore, internalization of nanogels either with or without GRGDS cell attachment-mediating peptides was quantified using flow cytometry. After 45 min of incubation, the uptake of unmodified FITC-Dx-loaded nanogels was 62%, whereas cellular uptake increased to >95% with the same concentration of GRGDS-modified FITC-Dx nanogels. In addition, a spheroidal coculture of human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) validated cell endocytosis. Application of ATRP enabled the synthesis of a functionalized drug delivery system with a uniform network that is capable of encapsulating and delivering inorganic, organic, and biological molecules.

Diarylbibenzofuranone-Based Dynamic Covalent Polymer Gels Prepared via Radical Polymerization and Subsequent Polymer Reaction.

Project description:Diarylbibenzofuranone (DABBF) is a dynamic covalent bonding unit, which is in equilibrium with the corresponding radicals at room temperature, and polymers with DABBF linkages show notable properties such as self-healing. The preparation routes have been strictly limited, however, and no polymer with the linkages has been synthesized via radical polymerization because of the strong antioxidant activity of DABBF. Here we present a new method to prepare DABBF-containing polymers via radical polymerization of the precursor, arylbenzofuranone (ABF), and subsequent polymer reaction, dimerization of ABF units in the linear polymers. Polymer gels cross-linked by DABBF linkages were obtained against the relatively strong antioxidant activity of ABF and showed dynamic network reorganization at room temperature.

Design of highly stabilized nanocomposite inks based on biodegradable polymer-matrix and gold nanoparticles for Inkjet Printing.

Project description:Nowadays there is a worldwide growing interest in the Inkjet Printing technology owing to its potentially high levels of geometrical complexity, personalization and resolution. There is also social concern about usage, disposal and accumulation of plastic materials. In this work, it is shown that sugar-based biodegradable polyurethane polymers exhibit outstanding properties as polymer-matrix for gold nanoparticles composites. These materials could reach exceptional stabilization levels, and demonstrated potential as novel robust inks for Inkjet based Printing. Furthermore, a physical comparison among different polymers is discussed based on stability and printability experiments to search for the best ink candidate. The University of Seville logo was printed by employing those inks, and the presence of gold was confirmed by ToF-SIMS. This approach has the potential to open new routes and applications for fabrication of enhanced biomedical nanometallic-sensors using stabilized AuNP.

Hybrid nanostructured particles via surfactant-free double miniemulsion polymerization.

Project description:Double emulsions are complex fluid systems, in which droplets of a dispersed liquid phase contain even smaller dispersed liquid droplets. Particularly, water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions provide significant advantages over simple oil-in-water emulsions for microencapsulation, such as carrier of both aqueous and oily payloads and sustained release profile. However, double emulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems consisting typically of relatively large droplets. Here we show that nanoscale water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions can be prepared by adding a silica precursor polymer, hyperbranched polyethoxysiloxane, to the oil phase without any additional surfactants. The resulting double miniemulsions are transformed to robust water@SiO2@polymer@SiO2 nanocapsules via conversion of the precursor to silica and polymerization of the oil phase. Other intriguing nanostructures like nanorattles and Janus-like nanomushrooms can also be obtained by changing preparation conditions. This simple surfactant-free double miniemulsion polymerization technique opens a promising avenue for mass production of various complex hybrid nanostructures that are amenable to numerous applications.

Facile Control of Structured ZnO Polymeric Nanoparticles through Miniemulsion Polymerization: Kinetic and UV Shielding Effects.

Project description:Zinc oxide polymeric nanoparticles (ZPPs) of poly (styrene-co-acrylic acid) P(St/AA), containing oleic acid modified zinc oxide nanoparticles (OA-ZnO NPs), were synthesized via miniemulsion polymerization. By simply adjusting the quantity of reactants, i.e., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant, potassium persulfate (KPS) initiator, and divinyl benzene (DVB) crosslinking agent, the location of ZnO NPs were altered from the inner (core) to the outer (shell), leading to core-shell and Pickering-like morphologies, respectively. The Pickering-like ZPPs were obtained when using SDS at below or equal to the critical micelle concentration (CMC). At above the CMC, the complete encapsulation of OA-ZnO NPs within the ZPPs depicted a kinetically controlled morphology. The transition to Pickering-like ZPPs also occurred when reducing the KPS from 2 to 0.5-1%. Whereas the DVB accelerated the polymerization rate and viscosity in the growing monomer-swollen nanodroplets and, hence, contributed to kinetic parameters on particle morphology, i.e., an increase in the DVB content increased the rate of polymerization. A hollow structure was obtained by replacing styrene with the more hydrophilic monomer, i.e., methyl methacrylate. All ZPPs-incorporated poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films greatly improved shielding performance over the UV region and were relatively transparent on a white paper background. Due to the large number of ZnO NPs in the central region and, hence, the ease of electron transfer, composite films containing core-shell ZPPs possessed the highest UV blocking ability. ZnO NPs in the outer part of the hollow and Pickering-like ZPPs, on the other hand, facilitated the multiple light scattering according to the difference of refractive indices between the inorganic shell and organic/air core. These results confirm the advantage of structured ZPPs and their potential use as transparent UV shielding fillers.

Inkjet Printing of Drug-Loaded Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles-A Platform for Drug Development.

Project description:Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have shown great potential in improving drug delivery of poorly water soluble (BCS class II, IV) and poorly permeable (BCS class III, IV) drugs, as well as facilitating successful delivery of unstable compounds. The nanoparticle technology would allow improved treatment by reducing adverse reactions of currently approved drugs and possibly reintroducing previously discarded compounds from the drug development pipeline. This study aims to highlight important aspects in mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) ink formulation development for digital inkjet printing technology and to advice on choosing a method (2D/3D) for nanoparticle print deposit characterization. The results show that both unfunctionalized and polyethyeleneimine (PEI) surface functionalized MSNs, as well as drug-free and drug-loaded MSN-PEI suspensions, can be successfully inkjet-printed. Furthermore, the model BCS class IV drug remained incorporated in the MSNs and the suspension remained physically stable during the processing time and steps. This proof-of-concept study suggests that inkjet printing technology would be a flexible deposition method of pharmaceutical MSN suspensions to generate patterns according to predefined designs. The concept could be utilized as a versatile drug screening platform in the future due to the possibility of accurately depositing controlled volumes of MSN suspensions on various materials.

Spontaneous Formation of Nanoparticles from Peptide-Vinyl Polymer Diblock Hybrids Prepared by RAFT Polymerization and Their Interactions with Cells.

Project description:Novel polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) with uniform sizes were prepared from peptide-vinyl polymer diblock hybrids by the self-organized precipitation method. Hybrid polymers of polystyrene (PSt) and tetrapeptide (cell-binding epitope RGDS, reverse SDGR, cationic KKKK, and anionic DDDD) were successfully synthesized by combining solid-phase peptide synthesis and reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization methods. Narrowly dispersed hybrid polymers (polydispersity index < 1.25, M n 14 000-17 000) were obtained. Altering the preparation conditions easily tuned the size and size distribution of the NPs. When the ζ-potentials for the NP suspensions were measured at pH 6.0, the obtained values corresponded to the net charge of each peptide segment. More importantly, the NPs could encapsulate fluorescent Nile red (NR) and magnetic iron oxide NP (MNP), which might be suitable for fluorescent imaging and magnet-induced patterning of cells, respectively. The interactions of NPs with cells (NIH/3T3 fibroblast) and the magnetic effects were examined for NR/MNP-loaded PSt-RGDS and -SDGR NPs. Both NPs were readily incorporated into cells, but only NR/MNP-loaded PSt-RGDS NP showed magnetic responsiveness in cell adhesion and cultures.

Inkjet printing of NiO films and integration as hole transporting layers in polymer solar cells.

Project description:Stability concerns of organic solar cell devices have led to the development of alternative hole transporting layers such as NiO which lead to superior device life times over conventional Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) Polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) buffered solar cells. From the printability of such devices, it is imperative to be able to print NiO layers in the organic solar cell devices with normal architecture which has so far remained unreported. In this manuscript, we report on the successful ink-jet printing of very thin NiO thin films with controlled thickness and morphology and their integration in organic solar cell devices. The parameters that were found to strongly affect the formation of a thin yet continuous NiO film were substrate surface treatment, drop spacing, and substrate temperature during printing. The effect of these parameters was investigated through detailed morphological characterization using optical and atomic force microscopy and the results suggested that one can achieve a transmittance of ~89% for a ~18 nm thin NiO film with uniform structure and morphology, fabricated using a drop spacing of 50 μm and a heat treatment temperature of 400 °C. The devices fabricated with printed NiO hole transporting layers exhibit power conversion efficiencies comparable to the devices with spin coated NiO films.
