Covalent layer-by-layer assembly of hyperbranched polymers on alginate microcapsulesto impart stability and permselectivity.
The microencapsulation of cells has shown promise as a therapeutic vehicle for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. While alginate microcapsules provide an ideal cell encapsulation material, polycations coatings are commonly employed to enhance stability and impart permselectivity. In this study, functionalized hyperbranched alginate and dendrimer polymers were used to generate discreet...
متن کامل(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate/gelatin layer-by-layer assembled films and microcapsules.
A new type of protein/polyphenol microcapsules on the basis of naturally occurring polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and gelatin, type A, was obtained using the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly method. The microcapsules show a more pronounced dependence of permeability on molecular weight of permeating substances than commonly used polyallylamine/polystyrene sulfonate capsules. The re...
متن کاملLayer-by-Layer Assembly of Thin Film Zener Diodes from Conducting Polymers and CdSe Nanoparticles
Ultrathin films have been prepared by self-assembling trioctylphosphine oxide, TOPO, capped n-type 20-40 Å diameter CdSe nanoparticles and 1,6-hexadecanethiol, HDT, onto p-doped semiconducting polymers, chemically deposited poly(3-methylthiophene), PMeT (for DeWice A), and electrochemically deposited poly(pyrrole), Ppy (for DeWice B). The semiconducting polymers have, in turn, been electrochemi...
متن کاملSubstrate-Independent Layer-by-Layer Assembly by Using Mussel-Adhesive-Inspired Polymers.
Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly has attracted much attention because of its ability to create multifunctional films on surfaces while maintaining bulk properties. The method relies on sequential adsorption of polymers onto bulk surfaces from solution, giving rise to complex multilayered films. LbL assembly is simple to implement and offers extensive control over film properties and composition du...
متن کاملImproved and targeted delivery of bioactive molecules to cells with magnetic layer-by-layer assembled microcapsules.
Despite our increasing knowledge of cell biology and the recognition of an increasing repertoire of druggable intracellular therapeutic targets, there remain a limited number of approaches to deliver bioactive molecules to cells and even fewer that enable targeted delivery. Layer-by-layer (LbL) microcapsules are assembled using alternate layers of oppositely charged molecules and are potential ...
