Rare-earth metal-mediated group-transfer polymerization was employed to synthesize precise AB and ABB′ block copolymers from 2-vinylpyridine and dialkyl vinylphosphonates (DAVP, alkyl = ethyl, allyl) as siRNA nanocarriers. Modifying the allyl group of the vinylphosphonate unit transformed these polymers into cationic, amphiphilic copolymers. All polymers showed maximum siRNA encapsulation at a low N/P ratio of 2. The cationic unit distribution along the PDAVP chain influences the encapsulation capacity and the stability of the polyplexes. A less dense distribution of cationic units led to increased amounts of free siRNA, even at higher N/P ratios, but to a better stability of the polyplexes. Diffused calcein signals observed from cells treated with ABB′/siRNA polyplexes revealed an endosomal escape capability while maintaining excellent <em>in vitro</em> cell viability.

Because of their multipotent, self-renewing nature, they have also been used for several decades to treat hematological disorders. However, HSCs are scarce and difficult to maintain <em>ex vivo</em>, demonstrating the need for developing novel <em>in vitro</em> methods to expand HSCs that mimic the complex <em>in vivo</em> microenvironment in suitable culture tissue plates, in extracellular matrix scaffolds, or on a biochip. One component to include in such an artificial microenvironment is HSC-related growth factors (GFs) immobilized on surfaces that mimic membrane-bound GFs <em>in vivo</em>. In this paper, we have initiated the development of an <em>ex vivo</em> system to study the immobilization of growth factors that sustain HSC maintenance and possibly expansion. However, since HSC-related GFs are expensive we have developed a proof-of-concept model using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as an alternative. Polypyrrole (PPy) was electrochemically synthesized in the presence of dicarboxylic acids with different hydrocarbon chain lengths and polycarboxylic acids with different molecular weights as dopants. BSA was immobilized on the PPy surface using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and <em>N</em>-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) to couple BSA to the carboxylic acid dopant of PPy. These PPy films with different dopants showed different abilities to immobilize BSA using EDC/NHS coupling and also different surface properties. In addition, owing to the interesting switchable properties of PPy upon alteration of the oxidation/reduction potential, the immobilized BSA could change its presentation on the PPy surface depending on the redox state. To characterize the PPy surfaces and to study the different immobilization results of BSA on these PPy variants with different dopants and different presentation behavior upon redox switching, the electrochemical properties, hydrophobicity, thickness, roughness, surface COOH density and fluorescence labeling were investigated. The results indicate that the polycarboxylic acid dopants could immobilize more BSA on the PPy surface. Moreover, the BSA in the as-fabricated state shows a “collapsed” presentation on the PPy surface, a “less collapsed” presentation in the oxidized state and an “erected” presentation in the reduced state. Cell viability studies using hematopoietic cells showed that the developed PPy-BSA surfaces did not negatively alter cell viability or cell proliferation compared to the control.</p>","PeriodicalId":101139,"journal":{"name":"RSC Applied Polymers","volume":" 2","pages":" 391-406"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/lp/d4lp00207e?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modification of PI is achieved by a TAD-based click reaction using 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PhTAD). The formation of cross-linking <em>via</em> the TAD units and ZDMA is demonstrated by the increase in the elastic-torque curves of the resulting rubber composites at elevated temperature. The addition of the radical-trapping agent <em>N</em>-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-<em>N</em>′-phenyl-<em>p</em>-phenylenediamine to the cross-linking system suppresses the increase in its elastic torque, indicating that cross-linking between the TAD units and ZDMA proceeds by a radical mechanism. This mechanism is supported by the fact that the use of either zinc chloride or zinc acetate instead of ZDMA did not show an increase in the elastic torque, excluding the possibility of coordination cross-linking between TAD units and zinc centres. The obtained TAD–ZDMA cross-linked rubbers show unique temperature dependence in dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), reflecting the dissociation of the ionic cross-linking at elevated temperatures. Strain–sweep DMA tests showed a typical Payne effect with an increasing amount of TAD units in the PI, supporting the formation of ZDMA–ZDMA filler interactions. Tensile tests revealed that the fracture energies of the TAD-PI/ZDMA composites are comparable to those of samples prepared using a peroxide-based curing system, and a tensile strength of up to 18.2 MPa at 525% elongation was achieved when 3.1 mol% of TAD was incorporated into the PI with 40 phr of ZDMA. A direct adhesion is demonstrated using T-peel tests, in which the adhesion-peeling force reached up to 6.55 N mm<small>⁻¹</small> when 4.3 mol% of TAD was incorporated into the PI with 40 phr of ZDMA. The maximum peeling force shows a good correlation with the difference between the <em>E</em>′ values at 25 °C and 145 °C in the DMA tests, except in the case of the sample with a too-high degree of cross-linking, indicating that the degree of dissociative cross-linking is the main factor determining the adhesion strength in the TAD–ZDMA cross-linking system.</p>","PeriodicalId":101139,"journal":{"name":"RSC Applied Polymers","volume":" 2","pages":" 347-360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/lp/d4lp00331d?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Synthetic polymer foams such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyethylene (PE), and polyurethane (PU), contribute significantly to plastic waste, often ending up in landfills after short service lives. In this article, we present a comprehensive investigation of bacterial cellulose (BC)/pectin composite foams, focusing on how modifications to the biopolymer network and macromolecular interactions influence colloidal and solid-state properties. By treating BC with a citric acid-based deep eutectic solvent (DES), we enhance its colloidal stability, achieving a zeta potential 81.2% more negative, and improve the compressive strength of the resulting foams by 23.8%. Introducing pectin further transforms the structure of the BC network, and significantly alters its electrostatic and rheological properties. The zeta potential reaches absolute values as high as 30.3 mV at 80% pectin, while the recoverability increases and the storage and loss moduli decrease with increasing pectin concentration. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) reveals modifications in the network structure that provide insight into the substantial changes in the morphological and mechanical properties of the foams. The resulting binary biopolymer foams demonstrate strength and stiffness rivaling those of synthetic polymer foams of similar density.
