Hydrogels in drug delivery: progress and challenges

This paper provides a third update to the review of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds (ZC(=S)SR) by a mechanism of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) that was published in June 2005 (Aust. J. Chem. 2005, 58, 379). The first update was published in November 2006 (Aust. J. Chem. 2006, 59, 669) and the second in December 2009 (Aust. J. Chem. 2009, 62, 1402). This review cites over 700 publications that appeared during the period mid 2009 to early 2012 covering various aspects of RAFT polymerization which include reagent synthesis and properties, kinetics and mechanism of polymerization, novel polymer syntheses, and a diverse range of applications. This period has witnessed further significant developments, particularly in the areas of novel RAFT agents, techniques for end-group transformation, the production of micro/nanoparticles and modified surfaces, and biopolymer conjugates both for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Siloxane-polyurethane fouling-release (FR) coatings based on aminopropyl terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) macromers were prepared and characterized for FR performance via laboratory biological assays. These systems rely on self-stratification, resulting in a coating with a siloxane-rich surface and polyurethane bulk. Previously, these coating systems have used PDMS with multiple functional groups which react into the polyurethane bulk. Here, aminopropyl terminated PDMS macromers were prepared, where a single amine group anchors the PDMS in the coating. Coatings were prepared with four molecular weights (1000, 5000, 10,000, and 15,000 g mol⁻¹) and two levels of PDMS (5% and 10%). High water contact angles and low surface energies were observed for the coatings before and after water immersion, along with low pseudobarnacle removal forces. Laboratory bioassays showed reduced biofilm retention of marine bacteria, good removal of diatoms from coatings with low molecular weight PDMS, high removal of algal sporelings (young plants), and low removal forces of live barnacles.
