Films of electroactive polymers, such as polyaniline (PAN) in its emeraldine base form, and poly(3-alkylthiophene), poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P6TH), poly(3-octylthiophene) (P8TH), and poly(3-dodecylthiophene) (P12TH) can be readily functionalized via thermal or near ultraviolet-light-induced surface graft copolymerization with monomers of polyelectrolyte, polyampholyte and polymeric acids. The monomers used in the present work include dimethyl sulphate quaternized dimethylamino-ethylmethacrylate (DMAEM·C2H6SO4), 3-dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl)ammonium propane sulphonate (DMAPS), acrylic acid (AAc) and a sodium salt of styrene sulphonic acid (NaSS). The surface structures and compositions of the electroactive polymer films after functionalization via graft copolymerization were characterized by angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Graft copolymerization of poly(3-alkylthiophene) films, but not PAN films, with the hydrophilic monomers readily results in a stratified surface microstructure arising from the migration of the hydrophilic graft chains beneath a thin surface layer which is much richer in the substrate chains. On the other hand, graft copolymerization of PAN films with AAc and NaSS readily gives rise to a self-protonated (and thus conductive) surface structure. 相似文献
Liquid chromatography at the critical condition (LCCC) is a chromatographic technique that allows for the isolation of one area of the polymer matrix so that other areas of the polymer may be probed with size-exclusion or adsorptive chromatographic modes. This technique has been successfully applied to the analysis of functionality distributions in functionalized oligomers and to polymer distributions within copolymers. Herein, the critical conditions of two polar polymers, poly(acrylic acid) and polystyrene sulfonate, are determined. These conditions were identified by varying buffer concentration, organic modifier within the mobile phase, or both. At the critical condition of poly(acrylic acid), the retention characteristics of a copolymer of acrylic acid and vinyl pyrrolidinone were determined. This extension to water-based mobile phase conditions will substantially broaden the possible applications of LCCC. 相似文献
In this work, acrylic acid (AAc) monomer was grafted onto low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films by the direct method to obtain acid (LDPE-grafted poly(acrylic acid) (LDPE-g-PAAc)) graft copolymers. The presence of the grafted PAAc with COOH groups allows coupling with Fe2+/3+ ions. The stabilization of Fe3O4 particles onto the graft copolymers was done by in situ reduction of LDPE-g-PAAc/Fe2+/3+ with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in aqueous solution. The LDPE-g-PAAc graft copolymer and LDPE-g-PAAc/Fe3O4 composite films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and electron spin resonance (ESR). The synthesized composites exhibit excellent magnetic properties. The results indicated that the magnetic oxide (Fe3O4) was embedded and homogenously dispersed into the surfaces of the graft copolymer films as indicated by SEM. The FT-IR analysis clearly suggests that an AAc monomer was effectively grafted onto LDPE. The XRD studies elucidate the change in the crystallinity of the graft copolymers.
Purpose: A series of β-CD amphiphilic star-shaped copolymers with exceptional characteristics were synthesized and their potential as carriers for micelles drug delivery was investigated.
Methods: A series of amphiphilic copolymers based on β-CD were synthesized by introducing poly (acrylic acid)-co-poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) or poly (acrylic acid)-co-poly(methyl methacrylate)-co-poly(monoacylated-β-CD)-poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) blocks to the primary hydroxyl group positions of β-CD. The micellization behavior of the copolymers, the synthesis conditions, characteristics, drug release in vitro and tissue distribution of vinpocetine (VP) micelles in vivo were investigated.
Results: Around 60 types of β-CD amphiphilic star-shaped copolymers were successfully synthesized and the critical micelle concentration ranged from 9.80?×?10?4 to 5.24?×?10?2g/L. The particle size, drug loading and entrapment efficiency of VP-loaded β-CD-P4 micelles prepared with optimal formulation were about 65?nm, 21.44?±?0.14%, and 49.05?±?0.36%, respectively. The particles had good sphericity. The cumulative release rates at 72?h of VP-loaded β-CD-P4 micelles in pH 1.0, pH 4.5, pH 6.5, or pH 7.4 media were 93%, 69%, 49%, and 43%, respectively. And, the lung targeting efficiency of VP-loaded β-CD-P4 micelles was 8.98 times higher than that of VP injection.
Conclusion: The VP-loaded β-CD-P4 micelles exhibited controlled-release property, pH-induced feature and lung targeting capacity compared with VP injection, suggesting that the β-CD-P4 copolymers are an excellent candidate for micelles drug delivery. 相似文献
