Abstract

Star polymers with well-defined molecular architectures have been widely studied in the last few decades. Of particular interest has been processing-structure-property relationships of star polymers in the thin film form and their potential applications in the field of biology and medicine. This review presents the state-of-the-art of research on nano- and microlayers of star polymers on solid substrates explored in the last two decades. We start the discussion with a short introduction to the general features of star polymers to introduce the reader to the subject. Subsequently, methods for the preparation of star polymer nano- and microlayers on solid surfaces and their resulting properties are discussed. Special emphasis will be given to the differences between the properties of layers obtained from star polymers and their linear analogues. The potential of star polymer nano- and microlayers to drive innovations in polymer technology will be illustrated with examples in areas such as antibacterial films, tissue engineering, or in systems delivering bioactive substances. Finally, a brief summary of challenges and future perspectives in the field of this interesting generation of polymeric materials is given.

迈向新一代聚合物表面:明星大分子的纳米和微层及其在生物学和医学中的应用设计

在过去的几十年里，具有明确分子结构的星形聚合物得到了广泛的研究。特别感兴趣的是薄膜形式的星形聚合物的加工-结构-性能关系及其在生物学和医学领域的潜在应用。本文综述了近二十年来固体基质上星形聚合物纳米层和微层的研究进展。我们以对星形聚合物的一般特征的简短介绍开始讨论，以向读者介绍这一主题。随后，讨论了在固体表面上制备星形聚合物纳米层和微层的方法及其性能。将特别强调星形聚合物及其线性类似物所获得的层的性质之间的差异。明星聚合物纳米和微层在推动聚合物技术创新方面的潜力将通过抗菌膜、组织工程或传递生物活性物质的系统等领域的例子来说明。最后，简要总结了这一代有趣的聚合物材料在该领域面临的挑战和未来的展望。

期刊介绍： Progress in Polymer Science is a journal that publishes state-of-the-art overview articles in the field of polymer science and engineering. These articles are written by internationally recognized authorities in the discipline, making it a valuable resource for staying up-to-date with the latest developments in this rapidly growing field. The journal serves as a link between original articles, innovations published in patents, and the most current knowledge of technology. It covers a wide range of topics within the traditional fields of polymer science, including chemistry, physics, and engineering involving polymers. Additionally, it explores interdisciplinary developing fields such as functional and specialty polymers, biomaterials, polymers in drug delivery, polymers in electronic applications, composites, conducting polymers, liquid crystalline materials, and the interphases between polymers and ceramics. The journal also highlights new fabrication techniques that are making significant contributions to the field. The subject areas covered by Progress in Polymer Science include biomaterials, materials chemistry, organic chemistry, polymers and plastics, surfaces, coatings and films, and nanotechnology. The journal is indexed and abstracted in various databases, including Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, Current Contents, FIZ Karlsruhe, Scopus, and INSPEC.
