STIMULI-RESPONSIVE POLYMERS
- Water swollen crosslinked polymers - Crosslinks may occur:
- by reaction of one or more monomers - hydrogen bonds - van der Waals interactions
HYDROGELS
Classification (based on preparation method) - homopolymer hydrogels (one type of hydrophilic mer) - copolymer hydrogels (two types of mers, at least one hydrophilic) - multipolymer hydrogels (more than three types of mers) -interpenetrating polymeric hydrogels (swelling a network of polmer1 in mer2, making intermeshing network of polymer1 and polymer2)
- Crosslinks may be induced during polymerization or by radiation following polymerization - Interchain connections can be:
- a carbon atom - chemical bridge - van der Waals - hydrogen bonds - molecular entanglements
- Crosslink structure:
A) ideal network with tetrafunctional
covalent crosslinks (rarely observed)
B) multifunctional junctions
C) molecular entanglements (could be
permanent or semi-permanent)
- Defects in crosslink structure:
D) unreacted functionality
E) chain loops
Mc: Molecular weight between crosslinks

SMART BIOACTIVE SURFACES
Surface modification with pH- and T-responsive polymers can be used to
obtain a smart surface where the ability for apatite formation can be switched
depending on temperature or on pH. We thus propose the idea of “smart” or
”stimuli-responsive” mineralization. The concept could be extended to other
external stimuli and other kind of mineral deposited.
By patterning the modification of the surface, it is possible to combine
stimuli and spatial control of the biomimetic apatite formation.

[Okano] Gabriela Martins, João Mano, Natália Alves, Langmuir 2011
Mussels are promiscuous fouling organisms and have been shown to attach to virtually all types of inorganic and organic surfaces (including PTFE – Fig. A) Clues to mussels’ adhesive versatility may lie in the amino acid composition of proteins found near the plaque-substrate interface (Fig. B to D), which are rich in 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (DOPA) and lysine amino acids. DOPA contains the ortho-dihydroxyphenyl –catechol- functional group In addition to participating in reactions leading to bulk solidification of the adhesive, DOPA forms strong covalent and noncovalent interactions with substrates

Hypothesis
Chitosan and hyaluronic acid (HA) are very popular biomaterials, and have been often combined using the LbL technique to form nanostructured coatings HA can be modified using the carbodiimide chemistry in order to incorporate dopamine domains that present catechol groups – HA-DN conjugate We hypothesize that the resulting conjugate can form LbL films with chitosan and produce surfaces with distinct properties with respect with the conventional CHT/HA ones, including improved adhesive properties and enhanced biological performance

Biological tests : direct contact tests using L929 cells
HA-DN/CHT films presented enhanced cell response
These films could be potentially used as adhesive coatings of distinct implants in order to improve both cell response and adhesion strength in a simple and versatile way.
