New peptidomimetic polymers for antifouling surfaces.
Exposure of therapeutic and diagnostic medical devices to biological fluids is often accompanied by interfacial adsorption of proteins, cells, and microorganisms. Biofouling of surfaces can lead to compromised device performance or increased cost and in some cases may be life-threatening to the patient. Although numerous antifouling polymer coatings have enjoyed short-term success in preventing...
متن کاملProtein Mimicry with Bioinspired Peptoid Polymers
Despite the fact that proteins and bulk polymers share a common linear polymeric architecture, the fields of Structural Biology and Polymer Science are presently separated by a great divide [1]. In fact, there are relatively few non-natural polymer systems that include even the most fundamental of biopolymer attributes: chemical diversity and sequence specificity. The chemical information encod...
متن کاملAntifouling Activity of Synthetic Alkylpyridinium Polymers Using the Barnacle Model
Polymeric alkylpyridinium salts (poly-APS) isolated from the Mediterranean marine sponge, Haliclona (Rhizoniera) sarai, effectively inhibit barnacle larva settlement and natural marine biofilm formation through a non-toxic and reversible mechanism. Potential use of poly-APS-like compounds as antifouling agents led to the chemical synthesis of monomeric and oligomeric 3-alkylpyridinium analogues...
متن کاملSpectroscopic dimensions of silver nanoparticles and clusters in ZnO matrix and their role in bioinspired antifouling and photocatalysis.
Silver doped zinc oxide nanoparticles are synthesized by a solution combustion method. The samples characterized by a variety of spectroscopic and other techniques clearly reveal the presence of silver nanoparticles as well as silver clusters. The silver in the two forms was identified by careful deconvolution of X-ray photoelectron spectral results. Their formation was also confirmed by the pr...
متن کاملBioinspired affinity DNA polymers on nanoparticles for drug sequestration and detoxification.
Nanomaterials with the ability of sequestering target molecules hold great potential for a variety of applications. To ensure the stable sequestration, most of these nanomaterials have been traditionally designed with a clear boundary or compact structures and behave as closed systems. While this feature is beneficial to applications such as drug delivery, it may pose a challenge to application...
