Biomimetic bottle-brush polymer coatings for fabrication of ultra-low fouling surfaces
(Wiley, 2018-11-13)
The increasing demand for long lasting antifouling surfaces has steered the development of accessible, novel, biocompatible and environmentally-friendly materials. Inspired by lubricin (LUB), a component of mammalian ...
Lubrication and wear protection of micro-structured hydrogels using bioinspired fluids
(American Chemical Society, 2018-11-21)
We report the fabrication and the use of a bioinspired synovial fluid acting as a lubricant fluid
and anti-wear agent at soft and porous chitosan hydrogel tribopairs. This synthetic synovial
fluid is composed of sodium ...
Effect of surface chemistry of polymeric nanoparticles on cutaneous penetration of cholecalciferol
(Elsevier, 2018-10-11)
We investigated the influence of nanoparticle (NP) surface composition on different aspects of skin delivery of a lipophilic drug: chemical stability, release and skin penetration. Cholecalciferol was chosen as a labile ...
Bioinspired microstructures of chitosan hydrogel provide enhanced wear protection
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-02-16)
We describe the fabrication of physical chitosan hydrogels exhibiting a layered structure. This
bilayered structure, as shown by SEM and confocal microscopy, is composed of a thin dense
superficial zone (SZ), covering a ...
Intermolecular interactions between Bottlebrush Polymers boost the protection of surfaces against frictional wear
(ACS Publications, 2018-05-30)
Polymers exhibiting the bottlebrush (BB) architecture have excellent lubricating properties. However, to motivate their use in real life systems, they must also protect surfaces against frictional damage. In this article, ...
