Synthesis and Surface Properties of Poly(methyl methacrylate)/Poly(ethylene glycol) Binary Brushes

A new kind of binary polymer brushes was synthesized from two immiscible polymers, PMMA and PEG, on GPS‐modified silicon wafers. Surface composition, layer thickness, coverage, chain density, wetting ability, morphology and protein adsorption of the binary brushes were investigated by XPS, ellipsometry, AFM and contact angle measurements. The results show that both PMMA and PEG were successfully grafted onto the surface. The surface coverage and the chain density of PMMA and PEG brushes can be controlled by modulating the reaction temperature and time. This kind of binary polymer brushes exhibits a distinct microphase‐separated structure and excellent protein‐preventing property.

Properties of Poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(ethylene oxide)/polyaniline Conductive Films: The Effect of Poly(ethylene glycol) Diglycidyl Ether

The effect of polyaniline and poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether on tensile properties, morphology, thermal degradation, and electrical conductivity of poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(ethylene oxide)/polyaniline conductive films was studied. The poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(ethylene oxide)/polyaniline conductive films were prepared using a solution casting technique at room temperature until a homogeneous solution was produced. Poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(ethylene oxide)/polyaniline/poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether conductive films exhibit higher electrical properties, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity but lower final decomposition temperature than poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(ethylene oxide)/polyaniline conductive films. Scanning electron microscopy morphology showed that the polyaniline more widely dispersed in the poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(ethylene oxide) blends with the addition of poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether as surface modifier.     

Improvement of Permeability of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Hydrogel by Using Poly(ethylene glycol) as Porogen

The porous structure of PVA hydrogel achieved with varying content and varying molecular weight of PEG was investigated. It was found that with increasing content or molecular weight of PEG, the diffusion coefficient D _e and UV transmission of ink solution increased, indicating that the permeability and mass transfer capability of the gel beads were enhanced. The swelling rate constant k and equilibrium swelling rate of the gel were significantly improved by addition of PEG, and many pores formed inside the gel to provide channels for microbial metabolites. With increasing molecular weight of PEG, the size of pores became increasingly large.     

聚乙二醇对聚乳酸纤维性能的改善

采用在双螺杆中熔融共混,以不同相对分子质量聚乙二醇(PEG)作为增塑剂,对聚乳酸(PLA)进行增塑改性,并把改性后的PLA进行熔融纺丝。用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、熔体流动速率仪(MFR)、单纤维电子强力仪(EYST)和差示扫描量热仪(DSC)对改性PLA纤维进行表征。讨论了不同相对分子质量的PEG对PLA纤维性能的影响,发现随着PEG含量的增加,改性PLA的流动性增加。当PEG质量分数≤8%时,随着PEG含量的增加,改性PLA纤维强度增加,断裂伸长率增加,玻璃化转变温度(Tg)和熔点(Tm)下降。PLA与PEG组分间表现出较好的相容性。PEG200改性的PLA纤维综合效果最好。

介绍了在纤维素/聚乙二醇体系中加入维生素C制备成药物缓释膜的过程,并研究了其在水中的药物缓释性能。结果表明,固液比、pH和温度这三个条件都对药物缓释有非常明显的影响。例如,药物在中性条件下的缓释一般是随着固液比的增大和温度的升高而加快的,但在高分子材料的结晶温度区域进行时也受到抑制。此外,在酸性环境中药物缓释在初始时是受到抑制而后逐渐以脉冲式进行。值得指出的是,药物缓释在碱性条件下完全不发生,并出现与缓释相反的吸附现象。     

Effects of pH and Neutral Salts on the Adsorption of the Poly(ethylene glycol terephthalate) Condensates Toward Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Fiber

This study deals with the effects of pH and neutral salts on the adsorption of PET fiber with four kinds of poly(ethylene glycol terephthalate) condensated from dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The surface properties of the aqueous solution, the contact angle of polyol‐treated PET fabrics, and its parameters were also discussed. The pH of the solution or the adding of neutral salt in the polyol solution largely affected the contact angle of polyol‐treated PET fabrics as well as the surface tension of the solution. A lower pH of the polyol solution or adding neutral salts in the solution showed a lower surface tension and a lower contact angle that resulted in a better adsorption between polyol and poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers. The lower pH of the solutions and a higher valence of the added neutral salt in the solution showed a largely positive effect on the adsorption parameters, and the order of effectiveness is Al₂(SO₄)₃ > MgSO₄ > Na₂SO₄.     

Preparation and characterization of poly(ethylene glycol) crosslinked chitosan films

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) crosslinked chitosan films with various PEG to chitosan ratio and PEG molecular weight were successfully prepared via the epoxy‐amine reaction between chitosan and PEG‐epoxy. The thermal and mechanical properties and swelling behavior were studied for the PEG crosslinked chitosan films. The mechanical strength of chitosan films were greatly enforced by the introduction of PEG‐epoxy, achieving an elongation of about 80%. It was found that the crosslinked chitosan films form hydrogel in water, achieving a swelling ratio higher than 20 times of original weight. The swelling behavior of chitosan films relied greatly on the molecular weight of the crosslinker PEG‐epoxy and the weight percent of PEG‐epoxy. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and Characterization of Copolymer Micelles Formed by Poly(ethylene glycol)-Polylactide Block Copolymers as Novel Drug Carriers

Diblock copolymer poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-polylactide (MePEG-PLA) micelles were prepared by dialysis against water. Indomethacin (IMC) as a model drug was entrapped into the micelles by dialysis method. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the prepared micelles in distilled water investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy was 0.0051 mg/mL which is lower than that of common low molecular weight surfactants. The diameters of MePEG-PLA micelles and IMC loaded MePEG-PLA micelles in number-averaged scale measured by dynamic light scattering were 52.4 and 53.7 nm respectively. Transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope observation showed that the appearance of MePEG-PLA micelles was in a spherical shape. The content of IMC incorporated in the core portion of the micelles was 18 wt.%. The effects of the synthesis method of the copolymer on the polydispersity of the micelles and the yield of the micelles formation were discussed.     

Swelling Properties of Chemically Crosslinked Poly(acrylamide-co-maleic acid) Hydrogels

ABSTRACT

Chemically crosslinked poly(acrylamide-co-maleic acid) [poly(AAm-co-MA)] hydrogels were prepared by simultaneous free radical copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) with maleic acid (MA) in presence of di or tri functional crosslinking agents using ammonium persulfate-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (APS-TMEDA) redox-initiating system. The poly(AAm-co-MA) hydrogels formation was confirmed by IR studies. The influence of crosslinkers such as N,N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) and 2,4,6-triallyloxy-1,3,5-triazine (TATA) on swelling/de-swelling characteristics were studied in detail for poly(AAm-co-MA) hydrogels containing different amounts of maleic acid. The present investigation also deals with the influence of concentration of crosslinker and initiator on the swelling behavior of poly(AAM-co-MA) hydrogels. The effect of various salts on swelling capacity was studied. In addition, the effect of simulated biological fluids and pH solutions on the swelling of hydrogels was also studied in detail.     

Physical Properties of Plasticized Poly(vinyl chloride) Blended with Poly(methyl methacrylate) Nanoparticles Synthesized by Differential Microemulsion Polymerization

In this work, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles synthesized by differential micro emulsion polymerization were used to improve the physical properties of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). PVC, plasticizer (40 phr), heat stabilizer (2 phr), and lubricant (0.2 phr) were melt-mixed with varied amount of the PMMA nanoparticles (3, 5, 7, and 9 phr) on a two-roll mill, followed by compression molding. The results showed that the tensile strength, Young's modulus, tear strength, and thermal stability were improved, but the elongation at break deteriorated with increased PMMA content. Moreover, the flammability of the plasticized PVC was not improved by the PMMA nanoparticles.     

Relaxational behavior and swelling‐pH master curves of poly[(diethylaminoethyl methacrylate)‐graft‐(ethylene glycol)] hydrogels

Poly[(diethylaminoethyl methacrylate)‐graft‐(ethylene glycol)] hydrogels were prepared with a molar ratio of 10:1 of diethylaminoethyl methacrylate to poly(ethylene glycol) of number‐average molecular weights (M_n) 200, 400 and 1000 g mol^?1 using tetra(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate to give a crosslinking ratio between 0.5 and 4.0 %. Glucose oxidase and catalase were immobilized in the matrix during polymerization. The maximum enzyme loading used was 6.6 × 10^?4 g of glucose oxidase per g of polymer. The equilibrium and dynamic swelling properties of these hydrogels were investigated. The pH‐dependent equilibrium swelling characteristics showed a sharp transition between the swollen and the collapsed state at pH 7.0. The dynamic response of the hydrogel discs to pH was analyzed in pulsatile pH conditions. The effects of particle size, crosslinking and molecular weight of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the dynamic swelling response were investigated. The pulsatile nature of the response was analyzed using Boltzmann superposition. Swelling–pH master curves were obtained. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry     

Drug release from poly(ortho esters)–poly(ethylene glycol) polyblend

A polyblend of poly(ortho esters)–poly(ethylene glycol) (POE–PEG) was prepared. The release behavior of the acetanilide‐loaded film of the POE–PEG polyblend was studied. Blending POE with water‐soluble PEG can promote the release of drug in pH 7.4 PBS buffer at 37°C, while POE has plasticizing effect on PEG. Infrared and X‐ray diffraction studies reveal that there is some interaction between POE and acetanilide. The SEM micrographs disclose that the porosity of the drug‐loaded film enhances with an increase immersing time. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 71: 303–309, 1999     

Ladder-Type Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Poly (ethylene glycol)-Polyurethane Supramolecular Network for Gel Polymer Electrolyte

A ladder-type poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly (ethylene glycol)-polyurethane (PEDOT-PEG-PU) supramolecular network was successfully synthesized using graft copolymerization of hydroxymethyl-EDOT with isocyanate-terminated PEG-PU prepolymer. PEDOT functionalized as the frame for a ladder-type supramolecular structure and PEG-PU as the rung. The successful formation of supramolecular network was confirmed by analyzing the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A series of PEDOT-PEG-PU gel polymer electrolyte by linking the LiClO₄ were prepared as a function of [O/Li⁺] ratios. The pH effect of their electrical capacitances was investigated using cyclic voltammetry. Ionic conductivities of different PEDOT-PEG-PU/Li⁺ complexes at a fixed pH were also evaluated through impedance analysis.
