Strong, stretchable, and durable biomaterials with shape memory properties can be useful in different biomedical devices, tissue engineering, and soft robotics. However, it is challenging to combine these features. Semi-crystalline polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been used to make hydrogels by conventional methods such as freeze–thaw and chemical crosslinking, but it is formidable to produce strong materials with adjustable properties. Herein, a method to induce crystallinity and produce physically crosslinked PVA hydrogels via applying high-concentration sodium hydroxide into dense PVA polymer is introduced. Such a strategy enables the production of physically crosslinked PVA biomaterial with high mechanical properties, low water content, resistance to injury, and shape memory properties. It is also found that the developed PVA hydrogel can recover 90% of plastic deformation due to extension upon supplying water, providing a strong contraction force sufficiently to lift objects 1100 times more than their weight. Cytocompatibility, antifouling property, hemocompatibility, and biocompatibility are also demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The fabrication methods of PVA-based catheters, injectable electronics, and microfluidic devices are demonstrated. This gelation approach enables both layer-by-layer and 3D printing fabrications.

Tremendous attention has been paid to the structure and properties of silk fibroin/sodium alginate (SF/SA) composite films . However, there is no report devoted to study the formation of hydrogen bonds and their effects on the structures and properties. Herein, SF/SA blends with different mass ratios were obtained and the technic of Gaussian multi-peaks-fitting of Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) was used to analyze their hydrogen bonds. From the results, the existence of the intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds was manifested, and the relative strength of the intermolecular hydrogen bond enhanced with the increase of SA content. The contribution of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding was as follows: OH⋯O (ether) > OH … π > OH⋯N. Meanwhile, the increase of intermolecular hydrogen bonding led to the increase of apparent viscosity of the SF/SA blend solutions. Moreover, the relationship between the hydrogen bond and properties (e.g, crystallinity , thermal stability, mechanical properties, morphology and etc.) of SF/SA composite films with different mass ratios were analyzed in detail.

A novel large-volume immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) on small column was prepared with organic–inorganic hybrid silica particles and applied for fast (10 min) and oriented digestion of protein. At first, a thin enzyme support layer was formed in the bottom of the small column by polymerization with α-methacrylic acid and dimethacrylate. After that, amino SiO 2 particles was prepared by the sol–gel method with tetraethoxysilane and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Subsequently, the amino SiO 2 particles were activated by glutaraldehyde for covalent immobilization of trypsin. Digestive capability of large-volume IMER for proteins was investigated by using bovine serum albumin (BSA), cytochrome c (Cyt- c ) as model proteins. Results showed that although the sequence coverage of the BSA (20%) and Cyt- c (19%) was low, the large-volume IMER could produce peptides with stable specific sequence at 101–105, 156–160, 205–209, 212–218, 229–232, 257–263 and 473–451 of the amino sequence of BSA when digesting 1 mg/mL BSA. Eight of common peptides were observed during each of the ten runs of large-volume IMER. Besides, the IMER could be easily regenerated by reactivating with GA and cross-linking with trypsin after breaking the –C N– bond by 0.01 M HCl. The sequence coverage of BSA from regenerated IMER increased to 25% comparing the non-regenerated IMER (17%). 14 common peptides. accounting for 87.5% of first use of IMER, were produced both with IMER and regenerated IMER. When the IMER was applied for ginkgo albumin digestion, the sequence coverage of two main proteins of ginkgo, ginnacin and legumin, was 56% and 55%, respectively. (Reviewer 2) Above all, the fast and selective digestion property of the large-volume IMER indicated that the regenerative IMER could be tentatively used for the production of potential bioactive peptides and the study of oriented protein digestion.

The present work is aimed to improve the antibody adsorption performance of phenyl-based mixed-mode adsorbents by adjusting the functional group of ligand. Two new mixed-mode adsorbents coupled with 4-(aminomethyl)phenol (AMP) and 4-(aminomethyl)benzonic acid (AMA) were designed based on the structure of benzylamine (BA), where a hydroxyl or carboxyl group was introduced. Bovine serum Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were used as the model proteins. The adsorption isotherms of IgG and BSA were investigated at different pH values ranging from 4.0–8.9 to evaluate the adsorption performance, and protein-ligand molecular interactions were explored through addition of sodium chloride and glycerol. The results showed that both of adsorbents coupled with AMP or AMA had lower saturated binding capacities ( Q m ) towards BSA and higher adsorption capacity ratio of IgG to BSA when compared to BA-based adsorbents. The contributions of electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interactions to proteins binding were different among these phenyl-based mixed mode adsorbents. Finally, AMP-based adsorbent possessing high adsorption capacity ratio of IgG to BSA and salt tolerance was selected to separate IgG from mimetic serum with purity higher than 96 %. The results indicated adjusting the functional groups of ligand to regulate the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions of protein-ligand was useful to improve the antibody separation performance of mixed-mode adsorbents.

In this paper, porous microcapsules with tunable pore sizes were prepared using interfacial polymerization by employing a temperature-responsive cross-linking agent above its so-called cloud point temperature ( T scp ). The influences of porosity on the surface morphology , release profile and biological activity of the microcapsules were investigated. The results showed that both pore size and pore density could be controlled by regulating either the amount of cross-linking agent or the ratio of core material to shell material. Furthermore, the porosity of the microcapsules determined their release properties and further regulated the bioactivity of the microcapsules. In addition, the mechanism of pore formation was confirmed by investigating the morphology of microcapsules below the T scp . The microencapsulation methodology described here is convenient and versatile, which can be easily extended to encapsulate a broad range of lipophilic core materials.

In this study, novel 1-methylpropargyl alcohol derivatives containing leucine side groups on their side chains were successfully synthesized and polymerized using (nbd)Rh + [η 6 -C 6 H 5 B − (C 6 H 5 ) 3 ] as catalyst. Circular dichroism (CD) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectra revealed that the polymers took predominantly one-handed helical structures that were stable under heat. Deprotection of the t-butyloxycarboryl (Boc) groups in the homopolymers under acidic conditions produced polymers with primary amine moieties on the side chains. The polymers were soluble in aqueous medium, and turbidity test revealed that they were pH-responsive. Amino acid-based polymers were further used in the enantionselective crystallization of alanine enantiomers and l -alanine was preferably induced to crystallize with the l -leucine-based polymer.

Targeted and sustained delivery of drugs to diseased tissues/organs, where body fluid exchange and catabolic activity are substantial, is challenging due to the fast cleansing and degradation of the drugs by these harsh environmental factors. Herein, a multifunctional and bioadhesive polycaprolactone-β-cyclodextrin (PCL-CD) polymersome is developed for localized and sustained co-delivery of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug molecules. This PCL-CD polymersome affords multivalent crosslinking action via surface CD-mediated host–guest interactions to generate a supramolecular hydrogel that exhibits evident shear thinning and efficient self-healing behavior. The co-delivery of small molecule and proteinaceous agents by the encapsulated PCL-CD polymersomes enhances the differentiation of stem cells seeded in the hydrogel. Furthermore, the PCL-CD polymersomes are capable of in situ grafting to biological tissues via host–guest complexation between surface CD and native guest groups in the tissue matrix both in vitro and in vivo, thereby effectively extending the retention of loaded cargo in the grafted tissue. It is further demonstrated that the co-delivery of small molecule and proteinaceous drugs via PCL-CD polymersomes averts cartilage degeneration in animal osteoarthritic (OA) knee joints, which are known for their biochemically harsh and fluidically dynamic environment.

A series of environmental pH-responsive block copolymers PEG-polyurethane with tertiary amine groups in the main chain and free carboxyl groups in the side chain were synthesized, including poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), 1,4-bis (hydroxyethyl) piperazine, 1,6-diisocyanato hexamethylene, and 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid. The chemical structure, molecular weight, and pH-dependent capacity of pH-responsive PEG-polyurethane were examined by 1 H-NMR, FTIR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and an acid-base titration. Moreover, the fluorescent dye fluorescein isothiocyanate was conjugated with PEG-polyurethane by the similar polymerization method and the obtained polymer was measured by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and fluorescent spectroscopy. The results indicated that the pH-responsive PEG-polyurethane showed a pH-buffering phenomenon and fluorescent imaging in a range of pH values. As a result, we demonstrated its potential application for optical imaging; however, it is believed that more applications in the areas of biomedicine will be possible owing to its free carboxyl acid terminal residues in the stimuli-responsive polymer. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tirapazamine (TPZ), an antitumor prodrug, can be activated in hypoxic environment. It specifically targets the hypoxic microenvironment of tumors and produces toxic free radicals. However, due to the tumor is not completely hypoxic, TPZ often fails to effectively treat the entire tumor tissue, resulting in suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. Herein, a low pathogenic Escherichia coli TOP10 is utilized to selectively colonize tumor tissues, disrupt blood vessels, and induce thrombus formation, leading to the expansion of hypoxic region and improving the therapeutic effect of TPZ. Additionally, a thermosensitive hydrogel is constructed by Pluronic F-127 (F127), which undergoes gelation in situ at the tumor site, resulting in sustained release of TPZ. To monitor the therapeutic process, it is genetically modified TOP10 by integrating the bioluminescent system luxCDABE (TOP10-Lux). The bioluminescent signal is associated with tumor hypoxia enhancement and thrombus formation, which is beneficial for therapeutic monitoring with bioluminescence imaging. In the murine colon cancer model, the TOP10-Lux combined with TPZ-loaded F127 hydrogel effectively suppressed tumor growth, and the treatment process is efficiently monitored. Together, this work employs genetically modified TOP10-Lux to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of TPZ and monitor the treatment process, providing an effective strategy for bacteria-based tumor-targeted chemotherapy and treatment monitoring.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is a kind of natural, renewable, and biocompatible materials that can be functional via the surface modification. A covalently bonded CNCs-g-PDMAEMA was prepared by grafting 2-(dimethyl-amino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) on the CNCs’ surface via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Subsequently, the tertiary amino groups of the CNCs-g-PDMAEMA were transferred to quaternary ammonium groups by adding alkyl bromides with different carbon chain lengths (C10-C18). It was found that the antibacterial activity of the prepared materials is related to the quaternary group structure. The material containing C10 alkyl in quaternary group exhibited the best antibacterial efficiency, which was closely associated with the wettability of the quaternary CNCs-based polymers. The lower wettability of materials with higher hydrophobicity may impose a restriction on the polymeric antibacterial groups’ accessibility to the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. The antimicrobial CNCs-based composites may be potential to apply as coating agents for aseptic packaging.

Sodium alginate (SA) was combined with poly( N -isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) to prepare thermosensitive hydrogels through semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) and fully interpenetrating polymer network (full-IPN). The thermosensitive, swelling, mechanical, and thermal properties of pure PNIPAAm, SA/PNIPAAm semi-IPN, and Ca-alginate/PNIPAAm full-IPN hydrogels were investigated. The formation of semi-IPN and full-IPN significantly improved the hydrogels’ swelling capability and mechanical properties without altering their thermosensitivity. 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) was selected as a model drug to study the release behaviors of the hydrogels. It was found that in vitro controlled drug release from semi-IPN hydrogels showed an initial release burst, followed by a slower and sustained release, before reaching equilibrium. Full-IPN hydrogels showed slow and sustained release during the whole process. Temperature and pH were found to affect the rate of drug release. Ca-alginate/PNIPAAm full-IPN hydrogels have potential application as drug delivery matrices in controlled drug release.

A novel double-hydrophilic block copolymer P(MEO 2 MA- co -OEGMA)- b -PAMA has been successfully synthesized by two-step RAFT polymerization. Then, the amino groups of PAMA blocks in the copolymers react with 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde via a “Schiff-base” reaction, and the resulting copolymers are self-assembled to form spherical micelles in aqueous solution. Because the “Schiff-base” linkage is pH sensitive, the release rate of pyrene depends upon the pH of solution. Complete release is achieved at pH 1, and the control release is much faster at pH 5.5 than that at pH 7.4. With progress of pyrene release, the micelles are disassembled gradually and disappeared completely at last. This double-hydrophilic copolymer is a promising candidate of drug carrier for the aldehyde- containing hydrophobic drugs.
