Biomaterials are a powerful platform for directing cellular behaviour. Herein, we employed a biomimetic strategy to synthesize a low-fouling polymer functionalized with nano-scale clusters of ligands that bind both integrin and syndecan-4 receptors, as both receptor types are critical in

In this article, we introduce a pH-responsive charge-reversible and photo-crosslinkable polymer nanoparticle. It is prepared via typical self-assembly from a block copolymer poly((7-(4-vinyl-benzyloxyl)-4-methylcoumarin)-co-acrylicacid)-b-poly((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)-co-styrene) (P(VBMC-co-AA)-b-P(DMAEMA-co-St)), whose two blocks have different ionizable moieties.

Evaluation of RAFT Agents

A series of polymerization were carried out using RAFT agents and monomers yielding well-defined polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions. The process allows radical-initiated growing polymer chains to degeneratively transfer reactivity from one to another through the use of key functional groups (dithioesters, trithiocarbonates, xanthates and dithiocarbamates). RAFT agents help to minimize out-of-control growth and prevent unwanted termination events from occurring, effectively controlling polymer properties like molecular weight and polydispersity. RAFT agents are commercially available. RAFT does not use any cytotoxic heavy metal components (unlike ATRP).
