Super-hydrophilic silicone hydrogels with interpenetrating poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) networks

Cell membrane-inspired phospholipid polymers for developing medical devices with excellent biointerfaces

“…For the surface modification of materials, the formation of blending [44][45][46][47][48][49] and interpenetrating networks (IPNs) [50][51][52][53][54] is effective in reducing the elution of MPC polymers from the substrate. Segmented polyurethane (SPU) and polysulfone (PSf) are engineered polymers that are suitable for this task because of their good mechanical properties [44][45][46].…”

“…MPC polymers have been developed for coatings to improve the surface wettability of silicone hydrogels; the surfaces also show good antifouling properties. Through the formation of interpenetrating poly(MPC) networks, Ishihara and co-workers have succeeded in preparing superhydrophilic silicone hydrogels with a high degree of transparency [52].…”

ATP-mediated Release of a DNA-binding Protein from a Silicon Nanoneedle Array

“…After rinsing with ultrapure water and EtOH, the nanoneedle array was immersed for 30 min in MPC polymer solution which is comprised of 7% of C-methacryloxypropyl triethoxysilane (MPTES), which binds to silicon, 86% of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), which inhibits the non-specific absorption of protein, 18 and 7% of N-succinimidyloxycarbonyl di(ethyleneglycol) methacrylate, which binds to amino The Electrochemical Society of Japan http://dx.doi.org/10.5796/electrochemistry.84.305 groups in protein. Next, the streptavidin (1 µM) amino groups were reacted with the MPC polymer active esters at r.t. for 1 hr.…”

Super-amphiphilic surface of nano silica/polyurethane hybrid coated PET film via a plasma treatment

“…The wetting properties of solid substrates, more specifically two extreme limits including anti-wetting or super-wetting, are of considerable interest to researchers [1] due to their strong potential in a wide range of practical applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Control of the wetting properties has been applied for depositing process [2], adhesion and selective absorption [3], self-cleaning and anti-fogging [1,4], transportation of fluids in micro-fluidic devices [5,6], and development of bio-medical materials [7].…”
