Article Synopsis
  • Ionic liquids (ILs) are versatile solvents that can be customized for specific tasks, making them appealing substitutes for traditional solvents in biological applications.
  • This study focused on carboxylate anion-based ILs to assess their potential as cryoprotectants, which help prevent cell damage during freezing, using two different mammalian cell lines.
  • Results indicated that while ILs generally showed high cytotoxicity, ethylammonium acetate stood out for its effective cryoprotective properties, suggesting that understanding the interactions of IL pairs is crucial for predicting their overall behavior in biological contexts.

A single additive, a grafted copolymer, is designed to ensure the stability of suspensions of highly loaded iron oxide nanoparticles (IOPs) and to facilitate three-dimensional (3D) printing of these suspensions in the filament form. This poly (ethylene glycol)-grafted copolymer of N-[3(dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide and acrylic acid harnesses both electrostatic and steric repulsion to realize an optimum formulation for 3D printing. When used at 1.
