Electrospinning of tBA-co-DEGMA Polymer Blend

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prior to prepare electrospun tert-butyl acrylate (tBA)-co-di(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (DEGMA) SMP and polystyrene (PS) mixture, the PS pellets (Mw = 35 000, Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.) are dissolved in the toluene (anhydrous, 99.8%; Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.), heated to 50 °C and stirred for 2 hours until PS pellets fully dissolved, in order to prepare the polymer concentration of 25, 30, 35 and 40 wt% PS solutions. The tBA (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.) and DEGMA (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.) are mixed at a weight ratio of 85 : 15, followed by adding 1 wt% photoinitiator 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl-acetophenone (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.) into the solution. Both PS and tBA-co-DEGMA (tD) solutions are mixed (50 : 50 w/w%), and then stirred for another 20 min to obtain homogeneous tD/PS solutions for electrospinning. More details of the synthesis method can be found in our previous publication.44 (link) The chemical structure is shown in Fig. 1a and b.

Purification and Storage of Monomers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All
chemicals and solvents are commercially
available and were used as received unless otherwise stated. Sulfobetaine
methacrylate monomer (SBM, also named [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium
hydroxide, Sigma-Aldrich) was purified by precipitation of its methanol
solution against diethyl ether twice, followed by drying under reduced
pressure at room temperature. The purified monomer was stored in a
fridge before use. Oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate
(OEGMA, Sigma-Aldrich, averaged molar mass 300 Da) and di(ethylene
glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (DEGMA, Sigma-Aldrich) were purified
by passing through neutral alumina column chromatography to remove
the inhibitors and were stored in a fridge before use. Copper metal
chips were washed, successively, with dilute sulfuric acid and water
(many times) to remove oxidized copper from surface. The cleaned copper
chips were stored under nitrogen gas.

The solvents petroleum ether (40–60 °C), diethyl ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and acetone, and the reagents cyanomethyl dodecyl trithiocarbonate, 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) (ACVA) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich and used as received. N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC·HCl) was purchased from Alpha Aesar and used as received. 1,4-Dioxane, and the monomers DEGMA, OEGMA (Mn = 300 g mol–1), nBA and DMA were purchased from Sigma Aldrich and passed through a column of basic alumina prior to use. NIPAM was purchased from Sigma Aldrich and recrystallized from a toluene–hexane mixture prior to use. 2,2′-Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich and recrystallized from methanol prior to use. Dialysis membrane (MWCO = 3.5–5 kDa) was purchased from Spectra/Por. The synthesis of N,N-diethylacrylamide,61

4-cyano-4-(((ethylthio)carbonothioyl)thio) pentanoic acid63
have been described previously in the literature.

Multi-layered Temperature-responsive Polymer Brushes on Titanium Implants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The multi-layered temperature-responsive polymer brushes (MLTRPB) on titanium (Ti) implants were fabricated using poly(ethylene glycol). Methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA, Aldrich, Mn; 300 g/mol), di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (DEGMA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, Mw; 188.22 g/mol), and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Levofloxacin (LVF, USP, Israel) and gentamycin (GM, 40 mg/mL, Shinpoong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) were used to test the efficacy of MLTRPB. Both agents have an antibacterial effect against different types of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, especially against the S aureus strain, the most common pathogen after orthopedic implantation [21 (link),22 (link),23 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
