This paper describes the recent progress at Nottingham towards the exploitation of the unique properties of scCO2 (supercritical carbon dioxide) for the preparation of polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering applications and new devices for controlled drug delivery, as well as the synthesis of novel block copolymers by the combination of eROP (enzymatic ring opening polymerization) and controlled polymerization methods for the potential use as drug carriers.

Long Chain

Controlled polymerization of long-chain alkyl glycidyl ethers (AlkGE) under anionic ring opening conditions is enabled by the addition of 18-crown-6. Capitalizing on this strategy, highly amphiphilic block copolymers are prepared that form hydrogels with adjustable melting points.

Functional polymers have been an important field of research in recent years. With the development of the controlled polymerization methods, block-copolymers of defined structures and properties could be obtained. In this paper, the possibility of the synthesis of the functional block-copolymer polystyrene-b-poly(2-(methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate) was tested. The target was to prepare the polymer of the number average molecular weight (Mn) of approximately 120 that would contain 20–40% of poly(2-(methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate) by mass and in which the polymer phases would be separated. The polymerization reactions were performed by three different mechanisms for the controlled polymerization—sequential anionic polymerization, atomic transfer radical polymerization and the combination of those two methods. In sequential anionic polymerization and in atomic transfer radical polymerization block-copolymers of the desired composition were obtained but with the Mn significantly lower than desired (up to 30). The polymerization of the block-copolymers of the higher Mn was unsuccessful, and the possible mechanisms for the unwanted side reactions are discussed. It is also concluded that combination of sequential anionic polymerization and atomic transfer radical polymerization is not suitable for this system as polystyrene macroinitiator cannot initiate the polymerization of poly(2-(methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate).

AbstractTriblock copolymers have traditionally been synthesized with conventional organic components. However, triblock copolymers could be synthesized by the incorporation of two incompatible protein-based polymers. The polypeptides would differ in their hydrophobicity and confer unique physiochemical properties to the resultant materials. One protein-based polymer, based on a sequence of native elastin, that has been utilized in the synthesis of biomaterials is poly (Valine-Proline-Glycine-ValineGlycine) or poly(VPGVG) [1]. This polypeptide has been shown to have an inverse temperature transition that can be adjusted by non-conservative amino acid substitutions in the fourth position [2]. By combining polypeptide blocks with different inverse temperature transition values due to hydrophobicity differences, we expect to produce amphiphilic polypeptides capable of self-assembly into hydrogels. Our research examines the design, synthesis and characterization of elastin-mimetic block copolymers as functional biomaterials. The methods that are used for the characterization include variable temperature 1D and 2D High-Resolution-NMR, cryo-High Resolutions Scanning Electron Microscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry.

<p>Block copolymers are used to construct covalent adaptable networks that employ associative exchange chemistry (vitrimers). The resulting vitrimers display markedly different nanostructural, thermal and rheological properties relative to those of their statistical copolymer-derived counterparts. This study demonstrates that prepolymer sequence is a versatile strategy to modify the properties of vitrimers.</p>
