TL;DR: Host polymers were synthesized and cased into thin films using functional monomers such as methacrylic acid (MAA), CdSe/ZnS core-shell derivatized with 4-vinyl pyridine and ethylene glycol dimethac acrylic acid (EGDMA) as a cross-linker.

TL;DR: The colloidal stability of aqueous barium titanate (BaTiO3) suspensions with the ammonium salt of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA-NH4) as a function of pH has been investigated in this article.
Abstract: The colloidal stability of aqueous barium titanate (BaTiO3) suspensions with the ammonium salt of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA-NH4), as a function of pH, has been investigated The concentration of PMAA-NH4 required to stabilize aqueous BaTiO3 suspensions decreases as the pH increases A stability map that delineates the critical amount of PMAA-NH4 necessary to achieve colloidal stability, as a function of pH, has been constructed

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that functional sustainable nanomaterials can be used for small scale oil-water separations, particularly for oil droplet transportation and harvesting of lipophilic compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reactively fibrous adsorbent was prepared by graft copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA)/acrylamide (AAm) monomer mixture onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fiber and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis.

TL;DR: Although platelet adhesion was largely reduced by the surface graft polymerization, a definite amount of protein was always adsorbed to the grafted surface.
Abstract: Graft polymerization of methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate, an ester of methacrylic acid and monomethoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEO), was performed onto a polyetherurethane (PU) film and tube under different polymerization conditions by a plasma treatment technique. The surface of grafted PU film was characterized by staining with dye, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle, and zeta potential. All these measurements indicated that water-soluble chains were immobilized on the PU surface, their location being restricted to the film surface region. The PU surface showed reduced protein adsorption in vitro and reduced platelet adhesion in vitro and ex vivo. The optimum graft density suppressing the protein adsorption was as low as 5 μg cm−2. When a small amount of dimethacrylate was added to the monomer solution for graft polymerization to introduce crosslinking in the grafted layer, protein adsorption was further slightly reduced. The extent of reduction in serum albumin adsorption was always less than that of γ-globulin. Although platelet adhesion was largely reduced by the surface graft polymerization, a definite amount of protein was always adsorbed to the grafted surface. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
