Abstract
It remains challenging to synthesize all-(meth)acrylic triblock thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), due to the drastically different reactivities between the acrylates and methacrylates and inevitable occurrence of side reactions during polymerization of acrylates. By taking advantage of the easy structural modulation features of N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs), we design and synthesize strong nucleophilic tetraphenylethylene-based NHOs varying in the number (i.e. mono-, dual- and tetra-) of initiating functional groups. Its combination with bulky organoaluminum [iBuAl(BHT)2] (BHT=bis(2,6-di-tBu-4-methylphenoxy)) constructs Lewis pair (LP) to realize the living polymerization of both acrylates and methacrylates, furnishing polyacrylates with ultrahigh molecular weight (Mn up to 2174 kg ⋅ mol-1) within 4 min. Moreover, these NHO-based LPs enable us to not only realize the control over the polymers' topology (i.e. linear and star), but also achieve triblock star copolymers in one-step manner. Mechanical studies reveal that the star triblock TPEs exhibit better mechanical properties (elongation at break up to 1863 % and tensile strength up to 19.1 MPa) in comparison with the linear analogs. Moreover, the presence of tetraphenylethylene group in the NHOs entitled the triblock TPEs with excellent AIE properties in both solution and solid state.

Abstract
Thermosets composed of cross-linked polymers demonstrate enhanced thermal, solvent, chemical, and dimensional stability as compared to their non-cross-linked counterparts. However, these often-desirable material properties typically come at the expense of reprocessability, recyclability, and healability. One solution to this challenge comes from the construction of polymers that are reversibly cross-linked. We relied on lessons from Nature to present supramolecular polymer networks comprised of cooperative Janus-faced hydrogen bonded cross-links. A triazine-based guanine-cytosine base (GCB) with two complementary faces capable of self-assembly through three hydrogen bonding sites was incorporated into poly(butyl acrylate) to create a reprocessable and recyclable network. Rheological experiments and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) were employed to investigate the flow behavior of copolymers with randomly distributed GCB units of varying incorporation. Our studies revealed that the cooperativity of multiple hydrogen bonding faces yields excellent network integrity evidenced by a rubbery plateau that spanned the widest temperature range yet reported for any supramolecular network. To verify that each Janus-faced motif engages in multiple cross-links, we studied the effects of local concentration of the incorporated GCB units within the polymer chain. Mechanical strength improved by colocalizing the GCB within a block copolymer morphology. This enhanced performance revealed that the number of effective cross-links in the network increased with the local concentration of hydrogen bonding units. Overall, this study demonstrates that cooperative noncovalent interactions introduced through Janus-faced hydrogen bonding moieties confers excellent network stability and predictable viscoelastic flow behavior in supramolecular networks.

Fluorine-containing bio-inert polymers: Roles of intermediate water. Acta Biomater 2022; 138:34-56. [PMID: 34700043 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.10.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Fluorine-containing polymers are used not only in industrial processes but also in medical applications, because they exhibit excellent heat, weather, and chemical resistance. As these polymers are not easily degraded in our body, it is difficult to use them in applications that require antithrombotic properties, such as artificial blood vessels. The material used for medical applications should not only be stable in vivo, but it should also be inert to biomolecules such as proteins or cells. In this review, this property is defined as "bio-inert," and previous studies in this field are summarized. Bio-inert materials are less recognized as foreign substances by proteins or cells in the living body, and they must be covered at interfaces designed with the concept of intermediate water (IW). On the basis of this concept, we present here the current understanding of bio-inertness and unusual blood compatibility found in fluoropolymers used in biomedical applications. IW is the water that interacts with materials with moderate strength and has been quantified by a variety of analytical methods and simulations. For example, by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, IW was defined as water frozen at around -40°C. To consider the role of the IW, quantification methods of the hydration state of polymers are also summarized. These investigations have been conducted independently because of the conflict between hydrophobic fluorine and bio-inert properties that require hydrophilicity. In recent years, not many materials have been developed that incorporate the good points of both aspects, and their properties have seldom been linked to the hydration state. This has been critically performed now. Furthermore, fluorine-containing polymers in medical use are reviewed. Finally, this review also describes the molecular design of the recently reported fluorine-containing bio-inert polymers for controlling their hydration state. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A material covered with a hydration layer known as intermediate water that interacts moderately with other objects is difficult to be recognized as a foreign substance and exhibits bio-inert properties. Fluoropolymers show high durability, but conflict with bio-inert characteristics requiring hydrophilicity as these research studies have been conducted independently. On the other hand, materials that combine the advantages of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic features have been developed recently. Here, we summarize the molecular architecture and analysis methods that control intermediate water and provide a guideline for designing novel fluorine-containing bio-inert materials.

Abstract
Water compatible supramolecular polymers (WCSPs) combine aqueous compatibility with the reversibility and environmental responsiveness of supramolecular polymers. WCSPs have seen application across a number of fields, including stimuli-responsive materials, healable materials, and drug delivery, and are attracting increasing attention from the design, synthesis, and materials perspectives. In this review, we summarize the chemistry of WCSPs from 2016 to mid-2021. For the sake of discussion, we divide WCSPs into five categories based on the core supramolecular approaches at play, namely hydrogen-bonding arrays, electrostatic interactions, large π-conjugated subunits, host-guest interactions, and peptide-based systems, respectively. We discuss both synthesis and polymer structure, as well as the underlying design expectations. The goal of this overview is to deepen our understanding of the strategies that have been exploited to prepare WCSPs, as well as their properties and uses. Thus, a section devoted to potential applications is included in this review.

Abstract
Hydration states of polymers are known to directly influence the adsorption of biomolecules. Particularly, intermediate water (IW) has been found able to prevent protein adsorption. Experimental studies have examined the IW content and nonthrombogenicity of poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) analogues with different side-chain spacings and lengths, which are HPx (x is the number of backbone carbons in a monomer) and PMCyA (y is the number of carbons in-between ester and ether oxygens of the side-chain) series, respectively. HPx was reported to possess more IW content but lower nonthrombogenicity compared to PMCyA with analogous composition. To understand the reason for the conflict, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to elucidate the difference in the properties between the HPx and PMCyA. Simulation results showed that the presence of more methylene groups in the side chain more effectively prohibits water penetration in the polymer than those in the polymer backbone, causing a lower IW content in the PMCyA. At a high water content, the methoxy oxygen in the shorter side chain of the HPx cannot effectively bind water compared to that in the PMCyA side chain. HPx side chains may have more room to contact with molecules other than water (e.g., proteins), causing experimentally less nonthrombogenicity of HPx than that of PMCyA. In summary, theoretical simulations successfully explained the difference in the effects of side-chain spacing and length in atomistic scale.

Abstract
Intermediate water (IW) is known to play an important role in the antifouling property of biocompatible polymers. However, how IW prevents protein adsorption is still unclear. To understand the role of IW in the antifouling mechanism, molecular dynamics simulation was used to investigate the dynamic properties of water and side-chains for hydrated poly(ω-methoxyalkyl acrylate)s (PMCxA, where x indicates the number of methylene carbons) with x = 1-6 and poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PBA) in this study. Since the polymers uptake more water than their equilibrium water content (EWC) at the polymer/water interface, we analyzed the hydrated polymers at a water content higher than that of EWC. It was found that the water molecules interacting with one polymer oxygen atom (BW1), of which most are IW molecules, in PMC2A exhibit the lowest mobility, while those in PBA and PMC1A show a higher mobility. The result was consistent with the expectation that the biocompatible polymer with a long-resident hydration layer possesses good antifouling property. Through the detailed analysis of side-chain binding with three different types of BW1 molecules, we found that the amount of side-chains simultaneously interacting with two BW1 molecules, which exhibit the highest flexibility among the three kinds of side-chains, is the lowest for PMC1A. The high mobility of BW1 is thus suggested as the main factor for the poor protein adsorption resistance of PMC1A even though it possesses enough IW content and relatively flexible side-chains. Contrarily, a maximum amount of side-chains simultaneously interacting with two BW1 molecules was found in the hydrated PMC3A. The moderate side-chain length of PMC3A allows side-chains to simultaneously interact with two BW1 molecules and minimizes the hydrophobic part attractively interacting with a protein at the polymer/water interface. The unique structure of PMC3A may be the reason causing the best protein adsorption resistance among the PMCxAs.

Abstract
Water molecules play a crucial role in biointerfacial interactions, including protein adsorption and desorption. To understand the role of water in the interaction of proteins and cells at biological interfaces, it is important to compare particular states of hydration water with various physicochemical properties of hydrated biomaterials. In this review, we discuss the fundamental concepts for determining the interactions of proteins and cells with hydrated materials along with selected examples corresponding to our recent studies, including poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA), PMEA derivatives, and other biomaterials. The states of water were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry, in situ attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, and surface force measurements. We found that intermediate water which is loosely bound to a biomaterial, is a useful indicator of the bioinertness of material surfaces. This finding on intermediate water provides novel insights and helps develop novel experimental models for understanding protein adsorption in a wide range of materials, such as those used in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) has attracted attention as a biocompatible polymer that is used as an antithrombotic coating agent for medical devices, such as during artificial heart and lung fabrication. However, PMEA is a viscous liquid polymer with low Tg, and its physical strength is poor even if a cross-linker is used, so it is difficult to make tough and freestanding objects from it. Here, we design and fabricate a biocompatible elastomer made of tough, self-supporting PMEA-silica composites. The toughness of the composite elastomer increases as a function of silica particle filling, and its stress at break is improved from 0.3 to 6.7 MPa. The fracture energy of the composite elastomer with 39.5 vol % silica particles is up to 15 times higher than that of the cross-linked PMEA with no silica particles and the material demonstrates stress-strain behavior that is similar to that of biological soft tissue, which exhibits nonlinear elasticity. In addition, the composite elastomer shows the potential to be an antithrombotic property, while the results of the platelet adhesion test of the composite elastomer show that the number of adhered platelets is not significantly affected by the silica addition. As the composite elastomer can be rapidly three-dimensional-printed into complex geometries with high-resolution features, it is expected to contribute to the development of medical devices from readily available materials.
