采用表面引发原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP)的方法制备了聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)(PNIPAAm)改性表面,通过改变聚合时间进而调控表面接枝层厚度。水接触角和蛋白质吸附测试发现PNIPAAm改性表面的浸润性和对蛋白质吸附都具有一定的温度响应性,且随着PNIPAAm接枝层厚度的增加,该温度响应性有一定程度的增强。同时,纤维蛋白原和溶菌酶的吸附测试表明PNIPAAm改性表面对尺寸不同的蛋白质具有不同的温度响应性。
The poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) brushes are prepared via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) on initiator-immobilized silicon surfaces. The thickness of grafted PNIPAAm layer is modulated by adjusting polymerization time. The PNIPAAm modified surface exhibits thermo-re- sponsivity to both wettability and protein adsorption in some extent and the thermo-responsivity is enhanced as the thickness of PNIPAAm layer increases. Moreover, the adsorption results of two proteins(fibrinogen and lysozyme) with different sizes indicate that the PNIPAAm-modified surface exhibits a size-sensitive property of protein adsorption.
