Poiy film

In order to test the tissue compatibility of tyrosine-derived poly-(iminocarbonates), solvent cast films of poIy(CTTH) were subcutaneously implanted into the back of outbread mice. In this study, conventional poly(L-tyrosine) served as a control (42). With only small variations, the experimental protocol described for the biocompatibility testing of poly(N-palmitoylhydroxyproline ester) (Sec. III.

Anderson et al. [59, 75,76] have been pursuing their extensive researches on the biomedical behavior of PEUUs having various formulations modified with hydrophobic acrylate (or methacrylate) polymer or copolymer additives. The most distinguished additive was Methacrol 2138F, which is a copolymer between diisopropylaminoethyl methacrylate and decyl methacrylate [co(DIPAM/DM)] (in a 3-to-l ratio). The protein adsorption assay showed that PEUU (Biomer-type) films loaded or coated with Methacrol or poIy(DIPAM) adsorbed significantly lower amounts of human blood proteins (Fb, IgG, factor VIII, Hageman factor and Alb) than the base PEUU or PEUUs modified by other additives. It was revealed from their experiments that poly(DIPAM) as well as Methacrol exhibited a prominent suppressing effect on the protein adsorption process. 

Circular surface micelles have also been observed for non-ionic block copolymers. Li et at. (1993) reported TEM and AFM of starfish micelles formed by PS-poly(n-butyl methacrylate), PS-poIy(rm-butyl methacrylate) and poly(fer<-butyl acrylate) diblock copolymers. Plateaus observed in surface/area isotherms of the Langmuir-Blodgett films at the air-water interface were consistent with the formation of surface micelles.

Two PBT based thermoplastic elastomers were studied. One was a PBT-polytetrahydrofuran (pTHF) copolymer (PECO-1) and the other one a PBT-poIy(propylene glycol) (PPG) copolymer (PECO-2). In both cases the degradations were done on 30 pm thick films. All of these polymers were supplied by DSM Engineering Plastics. 

On the other hand, stretching the polymer matrix causes molecular orientation of the photochrome as shown by dichroism measurements it wfll also restrict their isomerization possibilities Thus, stretching of a film of poIy(bisphenol-A-pimelate) (M 32000)... 

Another class of polymers equipped with azobenzene moieties comprises a-helical polypeptides, in particular pQly(L-glutamate)s and poIy(L-lysine)s. In solution, these azobenzene-modified polypeptides can undergo photoinduced helix-coil transitions. Polypeptides partially (30 to 50%) substituted with azobenzene moieties are surface active and form stable monolayers. Because of the partial substitution, there is sufficient free volume, and the azobenzene moieties can be isomerized in the monolayer. The photoisomerization changes the area per molecule, and the monolayer shows a photomechanical effect. LBK films of a photosensitive poly(L-lysine) with 31 mol...

PoIy-l,3,4-oxadiazoles have a high thermal stability and have been used in film materials. Heat-resistant polymers have been prepared by incorporating 1,3,4-oxadiazole units into polymers (70MI42300) and heat-resistant polyamides have been synthesized from 3,5-bis(4-aminophenyl)- 1,3,4-oxadiazole and isophthaloyl chloride (73MI42301). 

Figure 10-27 The formal oxidation and reduction potentials of poIy(RCOT)s. The potentials are vs. SCE and were determined by averaging the anodic and cathodic peak potentials from voltammograms of polymer films on a glassy carbon electrode immersed in a 0.1 M Me4NBp4 acetonitrile electrolyte [40]. The oxidation of the tert-butyl-substituted polymer was irreversible.

It must be mentioned that the poIy(vinyI cinnamate) resist system makes excellent film and, unlike the dichromated gelatin resists, which they replaced, do not suffer from dark reaction, and thus can be stored indefinitely in the absence of light.

Photoacoustic FITR (PA-FTIR) is based on measuring the heat associated wifli absrsption of IR lacfiation. The heat generated is released to an inert gas above the sample. The sample can be analysed in the form of a film, and the depth from whidi a signal is obtained can be varied [62]. Evanson et al. [59,60] u PA-FTlR and ATR-PTIR to study die molecular interactions between surfactants and poIy(ethyl acrylate(EA)-methacrylic acid(MAA)) latex and the surface oirichment with nonionic and anioiic surfactants on films formed from die latex.
