An influence of different functional groups of polymer, its molecular weight, polydispersity ratio (M(w)/M(n)) and presence of impurities on its adsorption in different pH values (3, 6 and 9) onto synthesized hematite (Fe(2)O(3)) was measured. A structure of adsorbed macromolecules of PMA and PEI was obtained according to S-F theory. Two polymers were used: polymethacrylic acid (PMA) of 6500 and 75,100 molecular weight as well as polyethyleneimine (PEI) 25,000 commercial and fractionated. Electrokinetic properties of the interface oxide-polymer solution (surface charge density and zeta potential) were also measured as well as adsorption layer thicknesses (with use of viscosimetric measurements). Obtained data show, that all above-mentioned factors do influence not only the adsorption process itself but also a surface charge, zeta potential and structure of adsorbed polymer layers on polymer/hematite interface.

Postoperative adhesion (PA) caused by the combination of proteins, inflammatory response and bacterial infection poses substantial challenges for polypropylene meshes (PPMs) based hernioplasty. Herein, inspired by the peritoneum, a Janus PPMs with side-specific functions was developed via a surface-initiated photoiniferter-mediated polymerization technology. A physical barrier composed of zwitterionic polymer brushes (PS) was firstly constructed on the one side of the PPMs, while the polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) brushes acting as the linker for bioactive nanoparticles (HAP) were precisely situated on the opposite surface subsequently.

Implant-associated Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) osteomyelitis (IASO) leads to high orthopedic implant failure rates due to the formation of Staphylococcal abscess community within the bone marrow and bacterial colonization in the osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network (OLCN). To address this, antimicrobial peptides (HHC36)-loaded titania nanotubes (NTs) are developed on titanium screws (Ti-NTs-P-A), which integrate pH-responsive polymethacrylic acid to control HHC36 release for eradicating bacteria in IASO.

Article Synopsis
- A new magnetic and pH-responsive nanocarrier was created to deliver curcumin (CUR) specifically to breast cancer cells, using a combination of natural and synthetic polymers.
- The nanocarrier, called CuFeO@PMAA@Lig-ADH, has a spherical shape with a diameter of about 15 nm and shows good magnetic responsiveness and pH-dependent drug release.
- In laboratory tests, this nanocarrier significantly reduced the survival of breast cancer cells (MCF-7), with effective IC values indicating strong cytotoxic effects, while also showing high intracellular uptake of the nanoparticles.

There is currently a great need for rigid, high-performance and processable bio-based polymers and plastics as alternatives to the fossil-based materials used today. Here, we report on the straightforward synthesis and polymerization of lignin-derived methacrylate monomers based on the methyl esters of 4-hydroxybenzoic, vanillic, and syringic acid, respectively. The corresponding homopolymethacrylates exhibit high glass transition temperatures (Ts) at 106, 128, and 197 °C, respectively.

Objectives: To test the biological properties of a novel non-restorative treatment method for arresting dentin caries based on silver nanoclusters (AgNCls) synthesized in polymethacrylic acid (PMAA).
Methods: Synthesis of AgNCls was performed by photoreduction of AgNO in PMAA with 355 nm/wavelength light. AgNCls/PMAA was characterized by absorption/fluorescence spectroscopy and optical and atomic force microscopy.
