Single Macromolecule Nanomechanical Design: Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-g-ethylene glycol) Graft Copolymers of Varying Architecture
With the advent of nanotechnology, the behavior of individual polymer chains is increasingly being studied due to their potential to act as molecular springs, switches, sensors, shock absorbers, and motors. Single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) or “tensile testing” is a powerful technique that is fast enabling rational nanomechanical design of synthetic polymers for such applications.1-3 Re...
متن کاملEvaluation of Polyethylene Glycol Diacrylate-Polycaprolactone Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering Applications
Polyethylene Glycol Diacrylate (PEGDA) tissue scaffolds having a thickness higher than 1 mm and without the presence of nutrient conduit networks were shown to have limited applications in tissue engineering due to the inability of cells to adhere and migrate within the scaffold. The PEGDA scaffold has been coated with polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospun nanofiber (ENF) membrane on both sides to...
متن کاملPhysically entrapped gelatin in polyethylene glycol scaffolds for three-dimensional chondrocyte culture
Developing tissue-engineered constructs for clinical use must satisfy the fundamental biologic parameters of biocompatibility, cell adhesiveness, and biodegradability. Physical entrapment of bioactive agents into synthetic polymers, as three-dimensional scaffolds, holds great promise for cell culture applications. Here, in an attempt to elucidate the effects of physical interlocking of natural ...
متن کاملSoft Tissue Response to the Presence of Polypropylene-G-Poly(ethylene glycol) Comb-Type Graft Copolymers Containing Gold Nanoparticles
The aim of this study is to evaluate the soft tissue response of the pure and Au-embedded PPg-PEG. PP-g-PEG2000, PP-g-PEG4000, Au-PP-g-PEG2000, and AuPP-g-PEG4000 were obtained via chlorination of polypropylene and polyethylene glycol in the presence of a base with a "grafting onto" technique. Solvent cast films of these four copolymers with PP as a control group were embedded into five differe...
متن کاملSynthesis and Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy of Graft Copolymers of Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-g-ethylene glycol)
In this study, an end-functionalized graft copolymer, thiol-terminated poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-g-ethylene glycol) or SH-poly(HEMA-g-EG), was synthesized by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method and then characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and light scattering (LS). The polymer was covalently end-grafted to an Au su...
