Single step assembly of biomolecule-loaded sub-micron polysulfone fibers

Abstract

12Enrichment of chemically resistant hydrophobic polymers with polar biomolecules is relevant to 13 the production of fibre-based drug delivery devices, adsorptive filtration media, as well as fibres 14 for selective molecular recognition of antibodies, enzymes and nucleic acids.

A new approach for the functionalisation of polysulfone with β-cyclodextrin

“…[14,15] It has also been in combinationwith biomolecules. [16] Without degrading basic polymer properties, chemical modifications of the end-groups or backbone of PSU polymer can yield good results compared with blended systems in which two or more different polymers are combined to introduce hybrid polymeric systems for specific purposes. [17] Recently, two ways have been widely applied for the modification of PSU: (i) introduction of functional monomers and (ii) postpolymerisation approaches.…”
