A novel hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified gold surface has been designed, fabricated, and investigated with respect to its ability to resist non-specific adsorption of proteins. The facile synthesis strategy, based on self-assembly, involves immobilization of polyethyleneimine to gold surfaces modified with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MuDA) monolayers using traditional carbodiimide chemistry. The hyperbranched polymer brushes were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) and ellipsometry measurements showed the thickness of the PEI brushes increases with adsorption solution ionic strength. Polymer brush surface concentrations can be improved from 2560 to 3880chains/μm(2) by changing the ionic strength of the adsorption solution (PBS) by varying NaCl concentration from 0 to 650mM. Protein adsorption (pH 7.4) was evaluated under flow injection analysis (FIA) conditions using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The PEI brushes suppress protein adsorption, for example, cytochrome C, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and ribonuclease A, to less than 0.08μg/cm(2) and the protein resistance increases with increasing ionic strength of the carrier solution, performance comparable to that achieved with comparable PEG-coated surfaces. The PEI brushes were exceptionally stable, with adsorption characteristics maintained after 6months storage in aqueous conditions (pH 7.4, 25°C, PBS). The potential of hyperbranched PEI structures as protein-resistant surfaces is discussed.

The development of numerous diseases, such as renal cyst, cancer, and viral infection, is closely associated with the pathological changes and defects in the cellular peripheral brush. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a potential new method to detect lesions of cellular peripheral brush. Here, a piecewise linear viscoelastic constitutive model of cell is established considering the joint contribution of the peripheral brush and intra-cellular structure.

Integrating CO capture and electrochemical conversion has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the net energy required for CO regeneration in traditional CO capture and conversion schemes and can be coupled with carbon-free renewable electricity. Polyethylenimine (PEI)-based materials have been previously studied as CO capture materials and can be integrated in these reactive capture processes. PEI-based electrolytes have been found to significantly increase the CO loading, and impact selectivity and rate of product formation when compared to the conventional aqueous electrolytes.

It produces adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and nucleosides through glucose metabolic and pentose phosphate pathways. These processes require many transporter proteins to assist in transferring glucose across cells, and the most notable ones are glucose transporter-2 (GLUT-2) and sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1).

Nonfouling surfaces are crucial in applications such as biosensors, medical implants, marine coatings, and drug delivery vehicles. However, their long-term coating stability and robust surface binding strength in physiological media remain challenging. Herein, a phosphonate-grafted, PEGylated copolymer on the hydroxyapatite (HA) surface is proposed to significantly improve the adsorption stability and thus enhance the biofunction durability accordingly.
