Journal ArticleDOI
One-step self-assembly of biogenic Au NPs/PEG-based universal coatings for antifouling and photothermal killing of bacterial pathogens
Xiaodong He,Gnanasekar Sathishkumar,Kasi Gopinath,Kai Zhang,Zhisong Lu,Chang Ming Li,En-Tang Kang,En-Tang Kang,Liqun Xu +8 more
TL;DR: This work developed a strategy of combining antifouling and photothermal therapy (PTT) in a single platform for antibacterial applications and provides an efficient strategy for the design of high-performance antifOUling and antibacterial materials to fight against medical device-associated infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protonation and deprotonation of polyaniline films and powders revisited
TL;DR: In this article, the changes in the intrinsic oxidation states of thin films of emeraldine base as a function of treatment time in aqueous acid during the protonation-deprotonation cycle were quantitatively assessed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of stimuli-responsive hydrogel networks with threaded β-cyclodextrin end-capped chains via combination of controlled radical polymerization and click chemistry
TL;DR: The as-synthesized PEG-b-PPG- b-PEG-thread-βCD-capped-PMES hydrogels have a well-defined PEG/PPG/PEG network and tunable PMES chain length and have potential applications as biomaterials and biomedical materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Switchable Antimicrobial and Antifouling Coatings from Tannic Acid-Scaffolded Binary Polymer Brushes
TL;DR: In this study, pH-sensitive poly(2-diisopropylaminoethyl methacrylate)-b-poly (PDPA-b-PMPC) and cationic polylysine (PLYS) chains are grafted on tannic acid (TA) to impart switchable antimicrobial and antifouling functionalities on substrate surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modification of polymers for adhesion enhancement
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface microstructure and composition of the modified film surfaces were studied by angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and it was demonstrated that the graft-modified LDPE and PTFE films are capable of exhibiting adhesive-free adhesion or auto-adhesion.
