Evaluating polymeric biomaterial–environment interfaces by Langmuir monolayer techniques

Abstract: Polymeric biomaterials are of specific relevance in medical and pharmaceutical applications due to their wide range of tailorable properties and functionalities. The knowledge about interactions of biomaterials with their biological environment is of crucial importance for developing highly sophisticated medical devices. To achieve optimal performance, a description at the molecular level is required to gain better understanding about the surface of synthetic materials for tailoring their properties. This is s… Show more

“…Phospholipid monolayers are extensively used as a model for one leaflet of the cell membrane (Brockman 1999;Więcek et al 2008;Flasinski et al 2014). The surface concentration and charge density of the layer prepared on water surface can be easily adjusted by altering the composition and surface pressure of the monolayer (Kiss et al 2012;Hegedüs et al 2012;Pénzes et al 2012;Schöne et al 2017). The ordered lipid monolayer formed in a Langmuir trough or the supported lipid bilayers (Cranfield et al 2017;Marek et al 1999;Mohai et al 2002) obtained by liposome spreading or LB technique although much less complex than biological membranes are particularly suitable for studying the molecular interactions (Horvath et al 2013;Lohr et al 2014;Ábrahám et al 2016;Ábrahám et al 2017).…”

“…The isotherms presented the various regimes that can be ascribed to the OEG conformational transitions [7,19,20], by analogy to the behavior observed for diblock copolymers (for example, poly(styrene)-poly(ethylene oxide) [25]. At large molecular areas, liquid-expanded monolayers were observed in which the dendrons were anchored at the interface by the phenyl groups, while the OEG chains lay flat at this interface, forming a so-called “pancake” structure [19,26,27,28].…”

“…In Langmuir monolayer degradation experiments, ultrathin polymer films at the air–water interface are used to study the degradation behavior of polymer materials . A thin polymer film, when exposed to a degrading medium, is a direct representation of the surface of a degrading polymeric object.…”
