During the past decades the field of sensors has been subject to much attention due to an increased demand for (bio)sensors and environmental monitoring. The efforts have been concentrated to create sensors which are reliable, highly sensitive and selectiv ...
The development of innovative bioanalytical technologies that enable the discovery of new therapeutics or the creation of systems for rapid, accurate and parallel analyses has gained an extraordinary interest in the biomedical sector in the last 10-15 year ...
Hydrolytically degradable polymer brushes would represent an interesting platform for the development of functional coatings for various biomaterials applications In this manuscript, the surface- initiated atom transfer radical copolymerization of 5.6-benz ...
A series of poly(ethylene glycol-co-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether) (P(EO-co-IGG)) random copolymers with different fractions of 1,2-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether (IGG) units was synthesized. After acidic hydrolysis a new type of "function ...
Hydrophilic polymer brushes grown via surface-initiated ATRP from silicon oxide surfaces are susceptible to detachment via hydrolytic cleavage of the anchoring siloxane bond. This paper investigates the influence of the structure of the ATRP initiator on t ...
This article explores the feasibility of poly(pentafluorophenyl methacrylate) (PPFMA) prepared by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization as a platform for the preparation of diverse libraries of functional polymers via postp ...
While the bulk structure of a material determines its mechanical properties, its surface plays a key role when interactions with the environment are important. Nowadays materials in bio- and nanotechnology are required to possess very complex functionaliti ...
Virus filtration by size exclusion is a robust means of eliminating viruses in blood or pharma products. Porous polymer membranes with a narrow size distribution are used to allow passage of the protein product but retain viruses. The chosen polymer must r ...
Bis-1,3(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylmethacrylate dichloride (di-M) and bis-1,3(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylacrylate dichloride (di-A), two new double-charged monomers, were the subject of the research reported in this thesis. These monomers provi ...
The free radical copolymerization of 1,3-bis(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylmethacrylate dichloride (di-M) with acryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride (Q), diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), and acrylamide (A) yielded novel polyelectrolytes a ...
