Stable Permanently Hydrophilic Protein-Resistant Thin-Film Coatings on Poly(dimethylsiloxane) Substrates by Electrostatic Self-Assembly and Chemical Cross-Linking

Abstract: Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is a biomaterial that presents serious surface instability characterized by hydrophobicity recovery. Permanently hydrophilic PDMS surfaces were created using electrostatic self-assembly of polyethyleneimine and poly(acrylic acid) on top of a hydrolyzed poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) base layer adsorbed on PDMS. Cross-linking of the polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMS) by carbodiimide coupling and covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains to the PEMS produced stab… Show more

“…Building a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) film coating on top of the PDMS surface increases surface wettability and imparts lasting hydrophilicity, thereby improving adhesion and proliferation of cells on PDMS surfaces. [31][32][33] This method holds promise because of the ease with which these films can coat PDMS surfaces, and the thickness of the films can easily be controlled. PEM is a strikingly simple method that allows formation of nanoscale structures by alternate adsorption of poly-anions and poly-cations on virtually any substrate.…”

“…More recently, Makamba et al [186] reported the grafting of PEG on a PDMS microchannel, in order to obtain a permanently hydrophilic surface suitable for electrophoretic separation of proteins. A hydrolyzed poly(styrenealt-maleic anhydride) base layer was first adsorbed on the oxidized PDMS.…”

“…Several other PDMS hydrophilic surface modification strategies have been explored, such as UV treatment [21,22], chemical vapor deposition [23], layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition [24,25], sol-gel coatings [26], silanization [27], dynamic modification with surfactants [28], and protein adsorption [29], but all result in the formation of what can be seen as a bilayer system unstable over time.…”
