The reorientation of poly(2-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate) after environment stimuli improves hydrophilicity and resistance of protein adsorption

Adsorption of Cr(VI) using silica-based adsorbent prepared by radiation-induced grafting

“…4(A) shows the Si 1s core-level spectrum of the original silica. Attributing to the Si-O 2 species, Si 1s spectrum could be curve-fitted with one peak component with BE at 103.7 eV, [40][41][42]. No obvious spectrum of C 1s was observed, indicating that the silica had not been modified or contaminated.…”

Self‐Supporting, Double Stimuli‐Responsive Porous Membranes From Polystyrene‐block‐poly(N,N‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) Diblock Copolymers

“…[19] There have been attempts to incorporate PDMAEMA into ultrafiltration membranes through random copolymerization with acrylonitrile, [20] but the content of switchable material was rather low, and the recovery of the PDMAEMA conformation after stimuli-response was hampered. [21] 2. Results and Discussion…”

The biocompatability of mesoporous inorganic–organic hybrid resin films with ionic and hydrophilic characteristics

“…The nonspecifically adsorbed proteins, as well as the adherence of microorganisms are known to induce adverse biological responses which interfere with medical device function, as is often the case with contact and intraocular lenses, blood contacting devices, bacteria-resistant implants and surgical tools [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Therefore, the prevention of such the protein adsorptions and the bacterial adherence are the major issues for successful implantation of biomaterials.…”

“…In general, the improvement of surface hydrophilicity is one of the most important factors in materials for various biomedical applications [1,2,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. It is a well-known fact that the promotion of surface hydrophilicity resists the nonspecific adsorption of proteins and the adherence of microorganisms, but enhances cell adhesion and growth.…”
