Osteoconductive protamine-based polyelectrolyte multilayer functionalized surfaces.
The integration of orthopedic implants with host bone presents a major challenge in joint arthroplasty, spinal fusion and tumor reconstruction. The cellular microenvironment can be programmed via implant surface functionalization allowing direct modulation of osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation at the implant--bone interface. The development of layer-by-layer assembled polye...
متن کاملDual functional polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings for implants: permanent microbicidal base with controlled release of therapeutic agents.
Here we present a new bifunctional layer-by-layer (LbL) construct made by combining a permanent microbicidal polyelectrolyte multilayered (PEM) base film with a hydrolytically degradable PEM top film that offers controlled and localized delivery of therapeutics. Two degradable film architectures are presented: (1) bolus release of an antibiotic (gentamicin) to eradicate initial infection at the...
متن کاملWetting transition on hydrophobic surfaces covered by polyelectrolyte brushes.
We study the wetting by water of complex "hydrophobic-hydrophilic" surfaces made of a hydrophobic substrate covered by a hydrophilic polymer brush. Polystyrene (PS) substrates covered with polystyrene- block-poly(acrylic acid) PS- b-PAA diblock copolymer layers were fabricated by Langmuir-Schaefer depositions and analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ellipsometry. On bare PS substrate, ...
متن کاملAmphiphilic silver particles for conductive inks with controlled wetting behavior
Silver inks find applications in printed electronics as conductive electrodes. Amphiphilic silver microparticles are prepared by modifying PAA-capped particles with functional amines via an amidation reaction. These modified silver particles can be dispersed in a wide variety of solvents ranging from water (ε 1⁄4 80.4) to lipophilic alcohols (ε 1⁄4 3e17) to yield conductive inks with tunable we...
متن کاملControlled switching of the wetting behavior of biomimetic surfaces with hydrogel-supported nanostructures†
An important feature of biological systems is their response to external stimuli with subsequent changes in properties and function. The ability to ‘‘engineer’’ adaptiveness into next-generation materials is becoming a key requirement and challenge in chemistry, materials science and engineering. Recently we have described new hybrid nano/microstructures capable of dynamic actuation by a hydrog...
