    摘要: A surface film distribution system for use with a body of water and method thereof is provided. The system includes a surface film positioned on a surface of at least a portion of the body of water. A first fluid conduit opening is positioned in a first location proximate to the surface of the body of water. A second fluid conduit opening is positioned in a second location proximate to the surface of the body of water. At least one fluid conduit connects the first fluid conduit opening and the second fluid conduit opening. A mixture of surface film and water is collected from the body of water, the mixture of surface film and water located in the at least one fluid conduit. A pump is in fluid connection with the at least one fluid conduit. The distributed surface film may minimize water evaporation from the body of water.

    摘要: A new class of poly(beta-amino alcohols) (PBAAs) has been prepared using combinatorial polymerization. The inventive PBAAs may be used in biotechnology and biomedical applications as coatings (such as coatings of films or multilayer films for medical devices or implants), additives, materials, excipients, non-biofouling agents, micropatterning agents, and cellular encapsulation agents. When used as surface coatings, these PBAAs elicited different levels of inflammation, both in vitro and in vivo, depending on their chemical structures. The large chemical diversity of this class of materials allowed us to identify polymer coatings that inhibit macrophage activation in vitro. Furthermore, these coatings reduce the recruitment of inflammatory cells, and reduce fibrosis, following the subcutaneous implantation of carboxylated polystyrene microparticles. These polymers may be used to form polyelectrolyte complex capsules for cell encapsulation. The invention may also have many other biological applications such as antimicrobial coatings, DNA or siRNA delivery, and stem cell tissue engineering.

    摘要: Described herein are inventive compositions and methods relating to polymer conjugates and, in particular, to polymer conjugates having pendant side groups comprising ring moieties. In one aspect, embodiments are generally related to compositions that mimic naturally- occurring polyphenol compounds. The compositions comprise, in some embodiments, a polymer backbone having a plurality of hydroxyaromatic pendant side groups or derivatives thereof. For example, in some cases, a pendant side group may be a phenol or a substituted derivative thereof. In some cases, the pendant side group may be an oxidized hydroxyaromatic group, such as a quinone. In some embodiments, self-assembled structures comprising one or more of the polymer conjugates are provided. For example, the polymer conjugates may be combined with a complexing agent to form a particle. In some cases, a polymer conjugate may form a hydrogel. In some embodiments, the self-assembled structures may contain an agent, such as a pharmaceutically active agent. Also provided are methods and kits for forming the compositions, methods of using the compositions, and the like.
