We present that polydopamineassistedinterfacial engineering can be synergistically integratedwith block copolymer lithography for surface nanopatterningof low-surface-energy substrate materials, includingTeflon, graphene, and gold. Block copolymer lithography is aself-assembly based nanofabrication that holds greatpromise for sub-10-nm scale patterning. The directed self-assemblyof block copolymers into device-oriented nanopatternsgenerally requires organic modification of a substrate surface.In this work, the versatility of the polydopamine treatment was demonstrated by the surface modification.

In this paper, vinyl-terminated polyurethane was synthesized with polypropylene glycol (PPG, Mn=1000) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) as raw materials and hydroxyethyl acrylate as the blocking agent. Then the alcohol soluble acrylate-polyurethane (PU) adhesive for low surface energy substrate was acquired from vinyl acetate, acrylate and vinyl-terminated PU by solution polymerization. The resin was characterized by Infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetry analyses (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) respectively. Adhesion performance to biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) was also studied. The results showed that the incorporation of PU can improve the viscosity, heat resistant, peel-off strength of the adhesive.

AbstractSince the cytocompatibility of carbon nanofibers with respect to neural applications remains largely uninvestigated, the objective of the present in vitro study was to determine cytocompatibility properties of formulations containing carbon nanofibers. Carbon fiber substrates were prepared from four different types of carbon fibers, two with nanoscale diameters (nanophase, or less than or equal to 100 nm) and two with conventional diameters (or greater than 200 nm). Within these two categories, both a high and a low surface energy fiber were investigated and tested. Astrocytes (glial scar tissue-forming cells) and pheochromocytoma cells (PC-12; neuronal-like cells) were seeded separately onto the substrates. Results provided the first evidence that astrocytes preferentially adhered on the carbon fiber that had the largest diameter and the lowest surface energy. PC-12 cells exhibited the most neurites on the carbon fiber with nanodimensions and low surface energy. These results may indicate that PC-12 cells prefer nanoscale carbon fibers while astrocytes prefer conventional scale fibers. A composite was formed from poly-carbonate urethane and the 60 nm carbon fiber. Composite substrates were thus formed using different weight percentages of this fiber in the polymer matrix. Increased astrocyte adherence and PC-12 neurite density corresponded to decreasing amounts of the carbon nanofibers in the poly-carbonate urethane matrices. Controlling carbon fiber diameter may be an approach for increasing implant contact with neurons and decreasing scar tissue formation.

Low surface energy materials have attracted much attention due to their properties and various applications. In this work, we synthesized and characterized a series of ultraviolet (UV)-curable fluorinated siloxane polymers with various fluorinated acrylates—hexafluorobutyl acrylate, dodecafluoroheptyl acrylate, and trifluorooctyl methacrylate—grafted onto a hydrogen-containing poly(dimethylsiloxane) backbone. The structures of the fluorinated siloxane polymers were measured and confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Then the polymers were used as surface modifiers of UV-curable commercial polyurethane (DR-U356) at different concentrations (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 wt %). Among three formulations of these fluorinated siloxane polymers modified with DR-U356, hydrophobic states (91°, 92°, and 98°) were obtained at low concentrations (1 wt %). The DR-U356 resin is only in the hydrophilic state at 59.41°. The fluorine and siloxane element contents were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the results indicated that the fluorinated and siloxane elements were liable to migrate to the surface of resins. The results of the friction recovering assays showed that the recorded contact angles of the series of fluorinated siloxane resins were higher than the original values after the friction-annealing progressing.
