Journal ArticleDOI
Thiol-ol Chemistry for Grafting of Natural Polymers to Form Highly Stable and Efficacious Antibacterial Coatings.
TL;DR: Thiol-ol reaction involving oxidative conjugation between thiol and hydroxyl groups is demonstrated as a facile technique to graft two natural polymer derivatives, agarose (AG) and quaternized chitosan (QCS), as antibacterial coatings on polymer and metal substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A fluorescence technique to investigate the interactions between bacterial membranes and an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen-decorated AMP (TPE-AMP) was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyacrylamide hybrid nanogels for targeted cancer chemotherapy via co-delivery of gold nanoparticles and MTX.
TL;DR: In this paper, a cancer-targeting gold/polyacrylamide (Au-PAm) hybrid nanogels were successfully synthesized via water/oil microemulsion polymerization followed by in situ reduction of gold and chemical modification with methotrexate (MTX).
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of Polyaniline from Insulating to Conducting State in Aqueous Viologen Solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of polyaniline coatings on low-density polyethylene films with aqueous viologen solutions was investigated, and the results showed that the polyaniniline coating can be converted from the insulating base form to the electrically conducting salt form after reaction with the viologens solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modification of natural rubber latex films via grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) for reduction in protein adsorption and platelet adhesion.
TL;DR: Water contact angle measurements revealed that the hydrophilicity of the NR latex film surface was greatly enhanced by the grafting of the PEG chains, and the NR surface with a high density of grafted PEG was very effective in reducing protein adsorption and platelet adhesion.
