Abstract

Thirty clinical tests on PVC drain tubes coated with hydrophilic copolymer with long poly(ethylene oxide) chains (PEO-COAT®) were carried out. Controls were non-coated PVC drain tubes. Thrombogenesis was observed in 24 out of 30 non-coated PVC drain tubes (80%) and in only 4 out of 30 PEO-COAT drain tubes (13%). PEO-COAT drain tubes significantly suppressed absorption of plasma proteins and adhesion of platelets. The excellent antithrombogenic property of this hydrophilic polymer, already suggested by in vitro and in vivo experiments, was demonstrated here clinically.

High density star poly HEMA containing bis-indole rich dendrimer inner core for integrated anti-fouling and anti-bacterial coating applications
2022, European Polymer Journal
Multi-arm star polymers with controlled molecular architecture suitable to be used as biomaterials are rapidly developing area of research. Herein, G2 and G3 polyurethane dendrimers containing bio-active bis-indolyl building blocks were converted into corresponding multifunctional ATRP initiators via a single-step reaction and characterized thoroughly. Polymerization of 2-hydroxethyl methacrylate (HEMA) monomer for different time duration using these initiators and CuBr/2,2′-bpy ATRP system yielded star PHEMAs with molecular weight (M_n) in the range of 2.79 × 10⁴ – 4.52 × 10⁵ g mol⁻¹; the poly dispersity indices were in the range of 1.16–1.49. Glass transition temperature of these star PHEMAs was found significantly low compared to the linear PHEMA. Contact angle measurements carried out on the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film coated with these polymers confirmed that these polymers are more hydrophilic compared to the un-coated PET surface. The integrated anti-fouling and anti-bacterial properties of these polymer coatings were studied with two common pathogens namely E. coli and P. aeruginosa and found that the binding of both of these bacterial cells either in live or dead form was negligibly low in the polymer coated PET surface compared to un-coated films and also found that the percentage of live cells was low compared to dead cells.
The synergistic effect between crystal planes and promoters on Ag-catalyzed ethylene epoxidation
2019, Applied Surface Science

Due to the wide application of ethylene oxide (EO) in industry [1–3], the ethylene epoxidation which can selectively generate the EO is a significant chemical reaction.
It is well-known that the promoter can enhance the selectivity to ethylene oxide (EO) of Ag catalyzed ethylene epoxidation. However, the selectivity enhancement on different crystal planes of Ag catalysts derived from various promoters is still indistinct. In this work, in order to get an atomistic insight into the synergistic effect between crystal planes and promoters on catalytic performance of Ag catalysts, we study ethylene epoxidation on Ag (1 1 1), (1 1 0) and (1 0 0) surfaces with the promoters of Re, Cs and Cu by density functional theory calculations. It is found that selectivity enhancement introduced by the promoters on Ag (1 1 1) surfaces is more obvious compared with that on Ag (1 1 0) and (1 0 0) surfaces. The sequence of EO selectivity on Ag (1 1 0) surfaces is Re < no promoter < Cs < Cu while it is Re < no promoter < Cu < Cs on Ag (1 1 1) and (1 0 0) surface. The adsorption strength of oxametallacycle intermediate works as a selectivity descriptor and has a negative correlation with valence electron depletion of surface Ag atoms. Therefore, the promoters can cause charge redistribution of Ag crystal surfaces and lead to the corresponding effect on the selectivity toward EO. In addition, the synergistic effect between promoter and crystal surface would affect the eletrophilicity of the surface atomic oxygen. We believe that this works would provide guidance to enhance the EO selectivity of Ag catalyzed ethylene epoxidation by rationally choosing suitable promoter for specific Ag crystal surfaces.
Facet-dependent diffusion of atomic oxygen on Ag surfaces
2018, Computational Materials Science
It has been proposed that the introduction of surface and subsurface atomic oxygen into Ag catalysts is crucial for selectivity enhancement of ethylene epoxidation towards ethylene oxide. However, the diffusion of atomic oxygen on various Ag crystal surfaces, which is an essential process to form surface and subsurface atomic oxygen, has not been systematically investigated. In this work, we have employed density functional theory (DFT) to study the horizontal diffusion as well as downward diffusion of oxygen atom on different crystal facets of Ag, including (1 1 1), (1 1 0), (1 0 0) and (2 1 1) surfaces. Among all studied crystal facets, the horizontal diffusion of surface atomic oxygen is most favorable on Ag (1 1 1) surface, while Ag (1 1 0) surface is the most beneficial to horizontal diffusion of subsurface atomic oxygen. It is also found that the atomic oxygen prefers to downward diffuse on Ag (1 1 0) surface rather than downward diffuse on other surfaces. The deep insight revealed here may guide to engineer Ag surface to promote the formation of surface and subsurface atomic oxygen, and accordingly pave the avenue for the rational design of Ag catalyst for ethylene epoxidation.
Control of the gastrointestinal digestion of solid lipid nanoparticles using PEGylated emulsifiers
2018, Food Chemistry
We prepared solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) with tristearin and various emulsifiers which had different chain length PEGs (10–100 times-repetition of ethylene glycol) to control their digestion fate in the gastrointestinal tract. Fabricated SLNs after acidic/high-ionic-strength media treatment were stable regardless of the ζ-potential (ZP) disappearance. Additionally, highly PEGylated SLNs successfully hindered the adsorption of both bile acid (BA) and lipase on the SLN surface, while lowly PEGylated SLNs interrupted that of only lipase. In simulated small intestinal fluid, lipolysis of highly PEGylated SLNs increased with decrease of the emulsifier density on the SLNs, whereas lipolysis of lowly PEGylated SLNs increased with decrease of the particle size. These results suggested that high PEGylation was more efficient than low PEGylation to hinder the lipolysis initiated from the competitive replacement of the SLN-covering emulsifiers with BAs. Consequently, the SLN digestion could be controlled by choosing the length and concentration of PEGylated emulsifiers.
Biocompatibility of hydrogel-based scaffolds for tissue engineering applications

Also adding PEG, both in vitro and in vivo, can suppress platelet adhesion. This suppression in turns minimizes the risk of thrombus formation, tissue damage, and other cytotoxic effects (Alcantar et al., 2000; Nagaoka and Nakao, 1990). Researchers have also incorporated RGD sequences to PEG to increase cell attachment and spreading (Bezwada et al., 1995; Yang et al., 2005; Zhu, 2010).
Recently, understanding of the extracellular matrix (ECM) has expanded rapidly due to the accessibility of cellular and molecular techniques and the growing potential and value for hydrogels in tissue engineering. The fabrication of hydrogel-based cellular scaffolds for the generation of bioengineered tissues has been based on knowledge of the composition and structure of ECM. Attempts at recreating ECM have used either naturally-derived ECM components or synthetic polymers with structural integrity derived from hydrogels. Due to their increasing use, their biocompatibility has been questioned since the use of these biomaterials needs to be effective and safe. It is not surprising then that the evaluation of biocompatibility of these types of biomaterials for regenerative and tissue engineering applications has been expanded from being primarily investigated in a laboratory setting to being applied in the multi-billion dollar medicinal industry. This review will aid in the improvement of design of non-invasive, smart hydrogels that can be utilized for tissue engineering and other biomedical applications. In this review, the biocompatibility of hydrogels and design criteria for fabricating effective scaffolds are examined. Examples of natural and synthetic hydrogels, their biocompatibility and use in tissue engineering are discussed. The merits and clinical complications of hydrogel scaffold use are also reviewed. The article concludes with a future outlook of the field of biocompatibility within the context of hydrogel-based scaffolds.
Protein interactions with biomaterials
2017, Comprehensive Biomaterials II
Proteins adsorb to biomaterial surfaces from body fluids. The result is activation of complex cascade events such as coagulation, immune complement, and cell recruitment to a wound site. The events are of special importance in direct blood-contacting applications and eventually for tissue healing around biomaterials. The events are rapid or slow and proceed during seconds to hours and determine cell differentiation, proliferation, cytoskeleton organization as well as the wound healing processes at large. Desorbed surface deposited proteins display more than 150 electrophoretic bands and indicate these bands are comprised of thousands of proteins. The vast majority of performed protein adsorption studies deal with the most abundant plasma proteins, “The Big Twelve,” because these compete effectively for the interfacial space. This article reviews basics of protein adsorption and surface properties, protein-resistant surfaces, and complex cascade reactions with specific emphasis on coagulation- and immune complement activation. Finally, a short review of consequences of protein adsorption is discussed.
