Most cited protocols related to «Polyacrylic acid»

For the water-based, step-wise synthesis of polyacrylic acid-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (PAA-IONPs), three solutions were prepared; an iron salt solution [0.62 g of FeCl3. 6H2O and 0.32 g of FeCl2. 4H2O in dilute HCl solution (100 μL of 12 N HCl in 2.0 mL H2O)]; an alkaline solution [1.8 mL of 30 % NH4OH solution in 15 mL of N2 purged DI water]; and a stabilizing agent solution [820 mg of polyacrylic acid in 5 mL of DI water]. To synthesize the PAA-IONP, the iron salt solution was added to the alkaline solution under vigorous stirring. The resulting dark suspension of iron oxide nanoparticles was stirred for approximately 30 seconds before addition of the stabilizing agent solution and stirred for 1 h. The resulting suspension of PAA-IONPs was then centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 30 minutes and the supernatant was washed three times with DI water to get rid of free polyacrylic acid and other unreacted reagents using an amicon 8200 cell (Millipore ultra-filtration membrane YM – 30 k). Finally, the PAA-IONP suspension was purified using magnetic column, washed with phosphate buffer saline (pH = 7.4) and concentrated using the amicon 8200 cell system. The iron concentration and magnetic relaxation of the PAA-IONPs was determined as previously reported [Josephson et. al. Bioconjugate Chem. 1999, 10, 186–191]. The successful coating of the IONPs with PAA was confirmed by the presence of a negative zeta-potential (ζ = −48 mV) and the characteristic acid carbonyl bands on the FT-IR spectroscopic analysis of the nanoparticles (Supporting Information 1 and 5).

Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) [p(NIPAAm-co-AAc)] hydrogels with MMP peptide degradable crosslinkers were produced through free radical addition polymerization similar to previously described methods (Figure 1, A).30 (link)-32 (link) All peptides used in this study were custom synthesized by American Peptide Co. (Sunnyvale, CA) and characterized using mass spectrometry and HPLC (purity > 95 %). Briefly, NIPAAm and AAc monomers (Polysciences Inc, Warrington, PA) in a 95:5 molar ratio, along with 0.3 mol% of a diacrylated MMP labile peptide sequence (Ac-GPLGLSLGK-NH2, see below) were dissolved at 3 – 5 wt% in incomplete phosphate buffered saline (iPBS). Polyacrylic acid (pAAc) linear chains (450 kDa) grafted with a 15 amino acid bone sialoprotein derived -RGD- peptide sequence (Ac-CGGNGEPRGDTYRAY-NH2, referred to as bsp-RGD(15)), synthesized as described previously,30 (link),32 (link) were then added in the 0 – 0.8 mg/mL range (corresponding to a -RGD-peptide concentration of ∼ 0 – 100 μM). The resulting solutions were degassed with dry N2, mixed with the free radical initiator ammonium persulfate (AP) and the accelerator N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED), and allowed to polymerize overnight under N2. After polymerization, the hydrogels were washed of unreacted monomers by thorough sequential rinses in iPBS combined with cycling through the hydrogel's LCST.

The microscope flow-cell was made by sandwiching two coverslips on top of one another held with double-sided sticky tape to give ~10 μl volume channels. The lower coverslip (nearest the objective lens) was previously cleaned with 5 M NaOH and treated with Vectabond reagent (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, Ca, USA) to make it adhesive to proteins. Flow-cells were incubated with 100 µg/ml anti-digoxigenin antibody in PBS (AbD Serotec, Langford Lane, Kidlington, UK) at 37 °C for 2 h to coat the surface. The flow-cell was later incubated with the blocking solution (50 mg/ml polyacrylic acid (pH 7.0), 10 mg/ml BSA, 0.1% pluronic F127, 0.1 mg/ml casein) for 30 min at 23 °C. Streptavidin coated 1 μm MyOne beads (TFS) were mixed with the differentially end-labelled template DNA at an optimal ratio to ensure most of the beads were linked to the coverslip surface by a single DNA molecule (determined experimentally with each DNA batch). After 15 min incubation, the bead-DNA mix was subjected to the blocking solution for 30 min to passivate the bead surface and the mix was injected into the flow-cell and allowed to settle for 15 min. All unbound beads were washed out with 10–20 volumes (~70 μl) of working buffer, K100 + (100 mM Tris.HCl, pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 0.2 mg/ml BSA). The flow-cell was used the same day. For the initial analysis of DNA fluctuations phosphate buffer was used (10 mM potassium phosphate, pH 8.0, 0.1% Tween-20, 0.1 mg/ml BSA). The stoichiometry of DNA-bead coupling was checked for every bead used in our data sets by supercoiling all beads positively and negatively at a force of 1.2–1.5 pN. Single DNA-bead tethers show a characteristic asymmetric z-dependence (see Data analysis, below) as negative supercoiling melts DNA. This does not happen when the bead is tethered by more than one DNA molecule because multiple DNA molecules become twisted around each other (braided) giving a very different z-dependence on supercoiling.

It is known that polyacrylamide (hydrogel) has good biocompatibility for biomedical applications. The acrylamide is insoluble in ionic liquids, while pure polyacrylic acid is soluble in ionic liquids. The acrylamide and polyacrylic acid in ionic liquids can randomly copolymer to form ionic gel, which has high fracture strength by dissipating energy through hydrogen bonding. Therefore, the acrylamide and acrylic acid were selected as precursors for the preparation of ionic gel patches in this work. First, 0.54 g of acrylic acid (AA) and 1.5975 g of acrylamide (AAM) were fully dissolved in 2 mL of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium (EMIES) solution to obtain a homogeneous solution. A certain mass of MXene powder was weighted and made to be uniformly dispersed into 1.3 mL of EMIES solution to mix thoroughly. Subsequently, the crosslinker N, N’-Methylenebis (acrylamide) (MBAA, CMBAA = 0.1 mol%) and photoinitiator Irgacure 2959 (CI2959 = 0.1 mol%) were added to obtain the precursor solution. The precursor solution was poured into the mold and then irradiated under ultraviolet light (proximately 55 mW/cm2) for 5 min. Finally, the MXene doped ionic gel patch was obtained for use.
