Area of Science:

  • Polymer Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Thermosensitive polymers offer controllable biomolecular interactions.
  • Hysteresis in these polymers limits their reversibility and repeated application.
  • Understanding and quantifying this hysteresis is crucial for designing advanced biomaterials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify temperature-dependent interactions and hysteresis effects in thermosensitive glycopolymers.
  • To investigate how glycopolymer properties (carbohydrate type, density, linker) influence adhesion and hysteresis.
  • To assess the potential of these materials for applications like bacterial capture.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of thermoresponsive glycopolymers with varied properties.
  • Grafting glycopolymers onto poly(ethylene glycol) microgels (soft colloidal probes).
  • Utilizing an optical adhesion assay to measure temperature-dependent carbohydrate-mediated adhesion.
  • Testing bacterial adhesion and capture using Escherichia coli.

Main Results:

  • Carbohydrate-mediated adhesion increased above the polymer's lower critical solution temperature (LCST).
  • Significant hysteresis was observed; adhesion did not fully reverse upon cooling below the LCST.
  • Hysteresis was more pronounced with hydrophobic linkers and lower carbohydrate densities, suggesting hindered polymer reswelling.
  • Enhanced capture of Escherichia coli above LCST, with limited detachment upon cooling.

Conclusions:

  • Quantitative data on switchable adhesion and hysteresis in specific binding polymers were obtained.
  • Hydrophobic interactions and insufficient polymer reswelling contribute to hysteresis.
  • Findings provide insights for designing next-generation interactive biomaterials with tunable adhesion properties.
