Polyacrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives based on butyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, and acrylic acid were prepared by a bulk polymerization process triggered by a radical photoinitiator under UV irradiation and UV-crosslinking.
Amyloid-β protein (Aβ) is a fatal cause of Alzheimer's disease, which can trigger a series of cytotoxicity by the abnormal aggregation of Aβ in human brain. The strategies for inhibition and disaggregation of Aβ fibrillation are mostly based on the interaction between monomers, oligomers, fibrils, and materials. This review summarizes recent researches of materials and regulation of interactions for inhibiting Aβ aggregation and disaggregating Aβ fibrils. The materials have been reviewed and divided into several kinds according to molecular type. And the regulation of interactions between materials and Aβ protein mainly focuses on covalent interaction, non-covalent interaction and photoactivated effect based on covalent and non-covalent interaction. In this review, the photodynamic effect and photothermal effect on regulation of Aβ aggregation are summarized in detail. In the end, the challenges and outlook of the application prospects on the strategies for inhibition and disaggregation of Aβ fibrillation are estimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
