Temperature and pH dual-responsive coatings of oligoperoxide-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide): Wettability, morphology, and protein adsorption

Layered composite based on halloysite and natural polymers: a carrier for the pH controlled release of drugs

“…1 Hence, the design of new smart materials with sustainable characteristics was exploited for a wide range of applications. 2,3 Since the use of petrochemicalbased plastic has to be restricted, bio-derived polymers represent a valid alternative for the preparation of new eco-friendly architectures. 4,5 Mostly, organic raw materials derive from agricultural or marine sources that can be functionalized in order to tune their main features such as the hydrophilic character, the thermal stability and the solubilization capability towards other compounds.…”

Multifunctional cholesterol-based peroxide for modification of amino-terminated surfaces: Synthesis, structure and characterization of grafted layer

“…In addition, multifunctional surface modifiers attract increasing interest as precursors for fabrication of grafted Y-shape molecules [11]. In our previous papers [14,15], the method of fabrication of polymer coatings using multifunctional oligoperoxide, grafted to a native glass surface functionalized with APTES, was reported. Inspired by strong progress on synthesis of new surface modifiers [11][12][13]16,17], we have developed and report in this paper a synthetic approach to a new multifunctional cholesterol-based peroxide modifier -monoperoxided monocholesteryl pyromellitate with residual acid chloride groups.…”

Controlled sub‐10‐nanometer poly(N‐isopropyl‐acrylamide) layers grafted from silicon by atom transfer radical polymerization

“…Starting from the lowest fragment mass, distinct peaks were observed at m/z = 27, 43, 55, 58, 72, and 114. Because similar mass patterns have been reported in the literature for PNIPAM, we used these results as a starting point to obtain peak assignment for PNIPAM grafts studied here . We propose the assignment of the corresponding chemical structures of these most important fragments in Figure B.…”
