Functionalized Antifouling Polymer Brushes for Biospecific Surfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Modern biosensors offer high sensitivity but often struggle with long‐term stability and selectivity for specific targets. Antifouling polymer brushes help enhance both stability and selectivity. In this review, we compare recent antifouling coatings, their design parameters, and how they are integrated with biorecognition elements for improved ...

Polymer Nanogels with Albumin Reporting Interface Created Using RAFT Precipitation Polymerization for Disease Diagnosis and Food Testing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Herein, polymer nanogels with a reporting interface for albumin are synthesized through reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) precipitation polymerization of di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate and N,N’‐methylenebis(acrylamide) using a poly(2‐methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) macro‐RAFT agent, followed by dansyl ...

Well‐Defined Poly(HPMAm) Brushes via Surface‐Initiated RAFT Polymerization; A Mixed‐Chain Transfer Agent (CTA) Approach

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A simple method relying on surface‐initiated RAFT polymerization is presented using a mixed‐chain transfer agent (mixed‐CTA) approach to grow well‐defined poly(HPMAm) brushes with precise control, achieving >70 nm thickness in 4 h at moderate temperature, 50 °C. Abstract Over three decades, efforts to prevent non‐specific protein adsorption on surfaces

Implantable Microarray Patch: Engineering at the Nano and Macro Scale for Sustained Therapeutic Release via Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...
