Concentration effects on peptide elution from pendant PEO layers.
In earlier work, we have provided direction for development of responsive drug delivery systems based on modulation of structure and amphiphilicity of bioactive peptides entrapped within pendant polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers. Amphiphilicity promotes retention of the peptides within the hydrophobic inner region of the PEO brush layer. In this work, we describe the effects of peptide surf...
متن کاملComplete surface control of peptide nanospheres with detachable and attachable polymer brush layers.
The surfaces of biodegradable peptide nanospheres with density-controllable poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) brush layers were amenable to high levels of control, from hydrophilic 'stealth' properties to hydrophobic adsorptive properties depending on the PEG density in response to environmental conditions -'intelligent' properties that are expected to be useful for novel drug delivery systems.
متن کاملVoice attributes affecting likability perception
Ratings of voices’ likability were collected in two successive studies. A single scale seems to be sufficient for assessing such ratings. Based on limited but controlled data, spectral parameters as well as f0 and articulation rate correlate with the ratings obtained. An automatic classification confirms the relevance of spectral features for the perception of likability. As a simple method of ...
متن کاملSelf-Organization of Polymer Brush Layers in a Poor Solvent
Synthesis of densely grafted polymer brushes from good solvent polymer solutions is difficult when the surface interaction is only weakly attractive because of the strong stenc repulsion between the polymer chains To circumvent this difficulty we graft polymer layers in a poor solvent to exploit attractive polymer-polymer interactions which largely nullify the repulsive stenc interactions. This...
متن کاملFriction between brush layers of charged and neutral bottle-brush macromolecules. molecular dynamics simulations.
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the lubricating properties of neutral and charged bottle-brush coatings as a function of the compression and shear stresses and brush grafting density. Our simulations have shown that in charged bottle-brush systems under shear there is a layer with excess counterions located in the middle between brush-bearing surfaces. The main deformation mode o...
