Thermally controlled wettability of a nanoporous membrane grafted with catechol-tethered poly(N-isopropylacrylamide).
نویسندگان
چکیده
A nanoporous membrane is coated with catechol-tethered poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). The thermosensitive variation of surface wettability determines the hindered diffusivity of dextran (40 kDa) through the nanopores.

Preparation and Investigation of Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide) Membranes in Temperature Responsive Drug Delivery
Objective(s) Physiological changes in the body may be utilized as potential triggers for controlled drug delivery. Based on these mechanisms, stimulus-responsive drug delivery has been developed. Materials and Methods In this study, a kind of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide) membrane was prepared by radical copolymerization. Changes in swelling ratios and diameters of the membrane wer...
متن کاملNanometric grafting of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) onto polystyrene film by different doses of gamma radiation
Poly N-isopropylacrylamide was successfully grafted onto a polystyrene cell culture dish by gamma ray. In this study, the effect of a radiation dose (radiation absorbed dosages of 10, 20, 30, 40 KGy) under appropriate temperature and grafting conditions was investigated. The FTIR analysis showed the existence of the graft PNIPAAm on the substrate. The optimal value of the dose for grafting was ...

متن کاملThermally responsive microcarriers with optimal poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted density for facilitating cell adhesion/detachment in suspension culture.
Large-scale cell culture of anchorage-dependent cells based on microcarriers is a crucial method for industrial-scale cell culture and large-scale expansion of therapeutic cells. Previously, the authors developed temperature-responsive microcarriers bearing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm)-grafted chains on their outer surface for the non-invasive detachment of cultured cells through temper...
متن کاملAntimicrobial surface grafted thermally responsive PNIPAM-co-ALA nano-gels.
Thermally responsive Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) co-allylamine (PNIPAM-co-ALA) nano-gels were synthesised and grafted onto non-woven polypropylene. Silver nitrate was incorporated into the nano-gels in their expanded state and their antimicrobial properties tested. Bacterial growth was measured before and after the Lower Critical Solution Temperature. Below the LCST, bacteria grew, above the LC...
