چکیده

We have prepared thermoresponsive chromatographic matrices by introducing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) chains onto silica beads for separation of bioactive compound in aqueous media [1]. This system is highly useful to control function and properties of the stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) by only change in column temperature, and has advantages in maintaining biological activity for peptides and proteins and reduced pollution by organic solvents. We have investigated the preparation and characterization of a series of thermoresponsive polymer modified surfaces as the chromatographic stationary phase. Properties of thermoresponsive modifier on the silica surfaces influence the separation efficiency. In addition, polymer grafting method has also significant importance, because graft conformation of PIPAAm on silica surfaces, determined by grafting method, greatly influences the temperature-responsive wettability changes and elution behavior of solutes [2,3]. In the present paper, we prepared high-density PIPAAm brushes on silica beads surfaces using surface-immobilized ATRP initiator in order to characterized the densely PIPAAm grafted silica beads as a chromatographic stationary phase (Figure 1). Property of densely PIPAAm grafted silica as a novel stationary phase is investigated with elution behavior of steroids and peptides.

Modulation of graft architectures for enhancing hydrophobic interaction of biomolecules with thermoresponsive polymer-grafted surfaces.

This paper describes the effects of graft architecture of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) brush surfaces on thermoresponsive aqueous wettability changes and the temperature-dependent hydrophobic interaction of steroids in silica capillaries (I.D.: 50 μm). PIPAAm brushes were grafted onto glass substrates by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) that is one of the li...

The Conformation of Thermoresponsive Polymer Brushes Probed by Optical Reflectivity.

We describe a microscope-based optical setup that allows us to perform space- and time-resolved measurements of the spectral reflectance of transparent substrates coated with ultrathin films. This technique is applied to investigate the behavior in water of thermosensitive polymer brushes made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted on glass. We show that spectral reflectance measurements yield ...

Thermoresponsive Micropatterned Substrates for Single Cell Studies

We describe the design of micropatterned surfaces for single cell studies, based on thermoresponsive polymer brushes. We show that brushes made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted at high surface density display excellent protein and cell anti-adhesive properties. Such brushes are readily patterned at the micron scale via deep UV photolithography. A proper choice of the adhesive pattern shap...
