A macromonomer 5 consisting of a polymerizable vinylcyclopropane end group and a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (poly(NiPAAm)) chain was obtained from amidation of 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-vinylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (4) with an amino-terminated poly(NiPAAm) 3 as an example. This macromonomer 5 showed an LCST effect after complexation of the vinyl end group with ß-cyclodextrin in water. Via radical ring-opening copolymerization of 5 and NiPAAm a graft copolymer 8 with a clouding point of 32 °C was synthesized. The branched unsaturated polymer was treated with ozone to cleave the double bonds of the main chain.

ABSTRACTThe cytotoxicity of various surface functionalized gold and silver nanords was measured by MTT assays for two cell lines, fibroblast and HeLa. It was found that the functionalized nanorods with 200 nm diameter and length up to a few micrometer can be readily internalized by both types of cells regardless of the surface functionalization. However, the cytotoxicity of the nanorods was found to depend on the polarity of the surface charge. The positively charged amino end group on the nanorod surface was found to be the least toxic whereas the negatively charged carboxylic acid end group on the nanorod surface caused lots of cell death. In general, the functionalized nanorods were found to be more toxic than the serum coated nanorods.

ABSTRACTThe conventional Fenton mechanism is reviewed and then slightly modified to incorporate additional data. Following the DuPont attack mechanism closely, we explain why the FER is proportional to the carboxylic acid end-group concentration in Fenton tests. We then make a case that in-cell testing introduces additional decay reactions operating locally in the membrane. These additional reactions explain the shape of the FER vs. time curve and why the FER is nearly independent of the carboxylate end group concentration. A semi-quantitative model is introduced to support the self consistency of the proposed reaction scheme.
