Controlling cell behavior through the design of polymer surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Polymers have gained a remarkable place in the biomedical fi eld as materials for the fabrication of various devices and for tissue engineering applications. The initial acceptance or rejection of an implantable device is dictated by the crosstalk of

Investigating Hydrogel Structural Parameters in the Flory–Rehner Model Using Bayesian Optimization

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels exhibit tunable solvent absorption driven by environmental stimuli such as temperature, pH, and light. While prior work established connections between synthesis processes and swelling behavior of temperature‐responsive hydrogels, the current study bridges the internal structure and the temperature‐responsive swelling behavior. First,

Sliding Crosslinked Thermoresponsive Materials: Polypseudorotaxanes Made of Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) and Acrylamide-γ-Cyclodextrin

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2018
Novel polypseudorotaxanes (PPR) based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and acrylamide-γ-cyclodextrin (AγCD) are successfully synthesized. AγCD gives rise to sliding crosslinking systems and influences the thermoresponsive and swelling behavior of

Bioartificial polymeric materials based on collagen and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2007
Films of collagen (CLG) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAAm, were prepared by casting from water solutions. These bioartificial polymeric materials were studied to examine the influence of PNIPAAm content and glutaraldehyde vapor cross-linking on ...

Surface Modification of Silicon Nanowire Based Field Effect Transistors with Stimuli Responsive Polymer Brushes for Biosensing Applications

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
We demonstrate the functionalization of silicon nanowire based field effect transistors (SiNW FETs) FETs with stimuli-responsive polymer brushes of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA).

Influence of polyelectrolyte on the thermosensitive property of PNIPAAm-based copolymer hydrogels

open access: yesJournal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2007
A new family of poly(NIPAAm-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) [P(NIPAAm-co-AMPSA)] hydrogels was synthesized by incorporating negative charged AMPSA to the backbone of the PNIPAAm-based hydrogel. The effect of polyelectrolyte (i.e., PAMPSA) on the thermosensitive property of PNIPAAm hydrogels was investigated.
