  • Biomimetic bottle-brush polymer coatings for fabrication of ultra-low fouling surfaces 

    Xia, Yinqiang; Adibnia, Vahid; Huang, Renliang; Murschel, Frederic; Faivre, Jimmy; Xie, Guojun; Olszewski, Mateusz; De Crescenzo, Gregory; Qi, Wei; He, Zhimin; Su, Rongxin; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Banquy, Xavier (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 synovial fluid with excellent ...
  • Deep tissue penetration of bottle-brush polymers via cell capture evasion and fast diffusion 

    Rabanel, Jean-Michel; Mirbagheri, Marziye; Olszewski, Mateusz; Xie, Guojun; Le Goas, Marine; Latreille, Pierre-Luc; Counil, Hermine; Hervé, Vincent; Oliveira Silva, Rummenigge; Zaouter, Charlotte; Adibnia, Vahid; Acevedo, Mariana; Servant, Marc; Martinez, Vincent A.; Patten, Shunmoogum A.; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Ramassamy, Charles; Banquy, Xavier (American Chemical Society, 2022-12-14)
    Drug nanocarriers (NCs) capable of crossing the vascular endothelium and deeply penetrating into dense tissues of the CNS could potentially transform the management of neurological diseases. In the present study, we investigated the interaction of ...
  • Intermolecular interactions between Bottlebrush Polymers boost the protection of surfaces against frictional wear 

    Faivre, Jimmy; Shrestha, Buddha R.; Xie, Guojun; Olszewski, Mateusz; Adibnia, Vahid; Moldovan, Florina; Montembault, Alexandra; Sudre, Guillaume; Delair, Thierry; David, Laurent; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Banquy, Xavier (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, we synthesized a library of ...
  • Superlubricity of zwitterionic bottlebrush polymers in the presence of multivalent ions 

    Adibnia, Vahid; Olszewski, Mateusz; De Crescenzo, Gregory; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Banquy, Xavier (American Chemical Society, 2020-08-13)
    In this study, we report lubrication properties of physisorbed zwitterionic bottlebrush polymers in the presence of multivalent ions using the surface force apparatus. Unlike polyelectrolyte brushes, the lubrication properties of which diminish drastically ...
  • Synergy between zwitterionic polymers and hyaluronic acid enhances antifouling performance 

    Xia, Yinqiang; Adibnia, Vahid; Shan, Cancan; Huang, Renliang; Qi, Wei; He, Zhimin; Xie, Guojun; Olszewski, Mateusz; De Crescenzo, Gregory; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Banquy, Xavier; Su, Rongxin (American Chemical Society, 2019-09-03)
    Challenges associated with nonspecific adsorption of proteins on sensor surfaces have steered the development of novel antifouling materials and strategies. Inspired by human synovial fluid composition and structure, we designed synergistic antifouling ...
