Hydrophobic Polyelectrolyte: Surface Activity and Membrane Binding
We have previously observed that the hydrophobic polyeleclyte poly(2-ethylacryfic aad) solubilizes lipid mnembranes in a pH-dependent manner, and we have explited this phenomenon to prepare lipid vesicles that release their contents in response to pH, light, or glucose (Thomas, J. L., and D. A. Tirrell. Acc. Chem. Res. 25:336-342, 1992.) The physical basis for the interacfion between poly(2-eth...
متن کاملCorrelation length of hydrophobic polyelectrolyte solu - tions
– The combination of two techniques (Small Angle X-ray Scattering and Atomic Force Microscopy) has allowed us to measure in reciprocal and real space the correlation length ξ of salt-free aqueous solutions of highly charged hydrophobic polyelectrolyte as a function of the polymer concentration Cp, charge fraction f and chain length N . Contrary to the classical behaviour of hydrophilic polyelec...
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 کاملFabrication of MgF2-SiO2 Nanocomposite Thin Films and Investigation of Their Optical and Hydrophobic Properties
In this research, MgF2-2%SiO2/MgF2 thin films were applied on a glass substrate. At first, MgF2 thin films with the optical thickness were deposited on the glass slide substrates. Then, MgF2-2%SiO2 thin films were deposited on the glass coated with MgF2 thin films. Finally, the nanocomposite thin films were surface treated by the PFTS solution. Characterization of the thin film was done by X-Ra...
متن کاملDrastically lowered protein adsorption on microbicidal hydrophobic/hydrophilic polyelectrolyte multilayers.
Polyelectrolyte multilayer films assembled from a hydrophobic N-alkylated polyethylenimine and a hydrophilic polyacrylate were discovered to exhibit strong antifouling, as well as antimicrobial, activities. Surfaces coated with these layer-by-layer (LbL) films, which range from 6 to 10 bilayers (up to 45 nm in thickness), adsorbed up to 20 times less protein from blood plasma than the uncoated ...
