Photopatterned polymer brushes promoting cell adhesion gradients.
The ability to spatially control cellular adhesion in a continuous manner on a biocompatible substrate is an important factor in designing new biomaterials for use in wound healing and tissue engineering applications. In this work, a novel method of engineering cell-adhesive RGD-ligand density gradients to control specific cell adhesion across a substrate is presented. Polymer brushes exhibitin...
متن کاملSupramolecular surface adhesion mediated by azobenzene polymer brushes.
Surface immobilised polymer brushes containing azobenzene units were prepared using a combination of microcontact chemistry and surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerisation (SI-ATRP). These brushes were investigated using AFM, XPS and UV/vis spectroscopy. It was shown that two surfaces bearing azobenzene brushes can be glued together in the presence of a β-cyclodextrin polymer and hol...
متن کاملSurface anchoring on liquid crystalline polymer brushes
We present a Monte Carlo study of the surface anchoring of a nematic fluid on swollen layers of grafted liquid crystalline chain molecules. The liquid crystalline particles are modeled by soft repulsive ellipsoids, and the chains are made of the same particles. An appropriately modified version of the configurational bias Monte Carlo algorithm is introduced, which removes and redistributes chai...
متن کاملIn Vitro Effects of Four Porcelain Surface Treatment Methods on Adhesion of Lactobacilli Acidophilus
Objective: Adhesion of Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) to dental porcelain surface may lead to gingival inflammation and secondary caries. Surface roughness is among the factors affecting this adhesion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of four different surface treatment methods on adhesion of L. acidophilus to dental porcelain. Methods: Sixty specimens (3x10...
متن کاملDensity effects on collapse, compression, and adhesion of thermoresponsive polymer brushes.
We probe, using the surface forces apparatus, the thermal response of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brushes of various grafting densities, grown from plasma-activated mica by means of surface-initiated polymerization. We thus show that dense thermoresponsive brushes collapse gradually as temperature is increased and that grafting density greatly affects their ability to swell: the swelli...
