The adhesive interactions of block copolymers composed of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) with the proteins fibronectin, bovine serum albumin and collagen were studied by atomic force microscopy. Adhesion experiments were performed both at physiological pH and at a slightly more acidic condition (p...

The incorporation of self-assembled nanoparticles, a.k.a. hydroxylated nanoballs, into poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)(PHEMA) gives rise to a cross-linked network/hydrogel with enhanced interfacial interaction, whereas its inclusion in poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) results in plasticization.

We study systematically the topography behavior of PHEMA-b-PMMA block as a function of the PHEMA and PMMA block lengths after selectively collapsing the top (PMMA) block by using surface-anchored assemblies of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-b-methyl methacrylate), PHEMA-b-PMMA, block copolymer with orthogonally varying lengths of each block. Our experimental results are in excellent qualitati...

Starch-g-polyacrylonitrile (starch-g-PAN) copolymers were prepared by ceric ammonium nitrate initiation, and the major portion of the starch in these graft copolymers was then removed by acid hydrolysis to yield PAN with oligosaccharide end groups. Although these PAN-oligosaccharide samples reacted with methyl methacrylate in the presence of eerie ammonium nitrate, the resulting products were l...

Chitosan and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites were synthesized by polymerization with heating mechanochemical method. The obtained polymer analyzed the ATR FT-IR spectroscopy presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds hydrophobic interactions in formation PMMA chitosan was shown.

The poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/poly(methyl methacrylate)–poly(methyl acrylate acid) copolymer (PMMA–PMAA) composite polymer latex were synthesized by the method of soapless seeded emulsion polymerization. The morphology of the composite polymer latex was core–shell structure. The core was PMMA and shell was PMMA–PMAA copolymer. Because the PMMA–PMAA copolymer was shell, the carboxylic aci...

A series of ABA triblock copolymers, consisting of double-bond-containing poly(phenoxyallene) (PPOA), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), or poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) segments, were synthesized by sequential free radical polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). A new bifunctional initiator bearing azo and halogen-containing ATRP initiating groups was first prepared followe...

The in situ ATRP (atom transfer radical polymerization) "grafting from" approach was successfully applied to graft poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) onto the convex surfaces of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). The thickness of the coated polymer layers can be conveniently controlled by the feed ratio of MMA to preliminarily functionalized MWNT (MWNT-Br). The resulting MWNT-based polymer brus...
