Force-Clamp Rheometry for Characterizing Protein-based Hydrogels

7.4K
A new force-clamp rheometry technique is used to investigate the mechanical properties of low-volume protein-based hydrogel samples tethered between a voice-coil motor and a force sensor. An analog proportional-integral-derivative (PID) system allows for the 'clamping' of the force experienced to the desired...

Surface Plasmon Resonance to Study Biomolecular Interactions Using a Sensor Chip

1.1K
This video describes the surface plasmon resonance, or SPR, technique for studying the interaction between two molecules using a sensor chip. The change in resonance angle and the intensity of the reflected light are detected as a function of the association and dissociation of two molecules, and this provides information about the interactions between the two...

Hydrostatic Pressure Force on a Plane Surface

1.4K
When a plane surface is submerged in a fluid, hydrostatic forces develop on the surface due to the fluid's pressure. For horizontal surfaces, the pressure exerted by the fluid is uniform because the depth remains constant. The resultant force is determined by the pressure at the given depth multiplied by the area of the surface, and it acts through the centroid of the surface. For vertical surfaces, the pressure varies with depth, increasing as the distance from the fluid's free surface...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Charge-balanced polymers with tunable properties were created using self-initiated photografting and photopolymerization (SIPGP). These materials exhibit protein resistance due to surface hydration in charge-neutral regions, with steric forces dominating elsewhere.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Surface Chemistry
  • Polymer Science

Background:

  • Developing effective antifouling coatings requires understanding surface-fouling interactions.
  • Complex materials like composites and zwitterionic polymers necessitate advanced characterization methods.
  • Charge-balanced polymers offer potential for advanced antifouling applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the properties of layered polyelectrolytes for antifouling applications.
  • To investigate the interactions of charge-balanced polymers with charged surfaces.
  • To characterize the influence of polymer swelling and forces on antifouling properties.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of layered polyelectrolytes using self-initiated photografting and photopolymerization (SIPGP).
  • Characterization of chemical composition and swelling using infrared microscopy and imaging spectroscopic ellipsometry.
  • Force measurements between polymer gradients and charged probes via colloidal probe atomic force microscopy.

Main Results:

  • Distinct swelling behaviors of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) were observed.
  • Steric and electrostatic forces varied non-trivially along the polymer gradient.
  • A tunable, protein-resistant, charge-neutral region was formed, attributed to surface hydration.

Conclusions:

  • The protein resistance of the charge-neutral region is primarily due to strong surface hydration, not bulk swelling.
  • Steric forces dominate in highly swollen regions, showing similarities to polymer brushes but with cross-linked characteristics.
  • SIPGP-fabricated layered polyelectrolytes offer tunable antifouling properties based on controlled hydration and force interactions.
