    Abstract Controlling cellular responses to nanoparticles so far is predominantly empirical, typically requiring multiple rounds of optimization of particulate carriers. In this study, a systematic model-assisted approach should lead to the identification of key parameters that account for particle properties and their cellular recognition. A copolymer particle library was synthesized by a combinatorial approach in soap free emulsion copolymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate, leading to a broad compositional as well as constitutional spectrum. The proposed structure-property relationships could be elucidated by multivariate analysis of the obtained experimental data, including physicochemical characteristics such as molar composition, molecular weight, particle diameter, and particle charge as well as the cellular uptake pattern of nanoparticles. It was found that the main contributors for particle size were the polymers' molecular weight and the zeta potential, while particle uptake is mainly directed by the particles' composition. This knowledge and the reported model-assisted procedure to identify relevant parameters affecting particle engulfment of particulate carriers by nonphagocytic and phagocytic cells can be of high relevance for the rational design of pharmaceutical nanocarriers and assessment of biodistribution and nanotoxicity, respectively.

    Abstract Mechanical stress is recognized as a principle for opening enclosed compartments through compression, stretching, or shear, eventually resulting in the onset of a diffusion-controlled release. Here, we hypothesized that the geometrical design of cavities (cut-outs) introduced as containers in elastic polymer substrates and sealed with a brittle coating layer would enable a pre-defined release of different compounds by stress concentration phenomena. Design criteria such as cut-out shapes, orientations, and depths were initially assessed for suitably different stress concentrations in computational models. In substrates fabricated from polydimethylsiloxane by photolithographic techniques, the local strains at horizontal rectangular, circular, and vertical rhombus-shaped cut-outs systematically increased under horizontal stretching as proposed. When filled with model compounds and coated with poly(

    Abstract The ability of polymers to move actively in response to an external stimulus such as heat or light is of high scientific and technological significance. In any instance stimuli-responsive effects on the molecular level are converted into macroscopic movement, whereby generally two different moving behaviors have to be differentiated for polymer-based materials: the shape-memory effect and the shape-changing capability. Basic concepts for the molecular design of suitable polymer architectures for shape-memory polymers as well as tailored programming processes are presented. The thermally-induced shape-memory effect of polymers is described as well as the extension of this concept to other stimuli than heat. Indirect actuation of the thermally-induced effect by IR-irradiation, electric current, humidity or alternating magnetic fields are outlined as well as recent work on light-induced shape-memory polymers. For shape-changing polymers, two basic concepts are presented: shape changes occurring during phase orientation of liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) and the photomechanical effect based on photoisomerization of moieties, such as azo-groups incorporated in suitable polymer systems.

    Abstract In this paper degradable shape-memory polymer networks synthesized from oligo[(-lactide)--glycolide]dimethaycrylates are introduced. The macrodimethacrylates are prepared a two-step synthesis: hydroxy telechelic oligo[(-lactide)--glycolide]s with number average molecular weights ranging from 1000 to 5700 g mol were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization from ,-dilactide, diglycolide and ethylene glycol as initiator using dibutyltin oxide as the catalyst. These oligodiols are reacted with methacryloyl chloride resulting in terminal methacrylate groups. Crosslinking of macrodimethacrylates is performed under exposure to UV light without applying a photo initiator. The polymer networks obtained are transparent and hydrolytically degradable. While the mechanical properties at temperatures higher than depend on crosslinking density, is almost constant at about 55 °C. The shape-memory functionality of the amorphous polymer network was investigated by cyclic, thermomechanical tests under the systematic variation of different programming parameters. Good shape-memory properties with strain recovery rates close to 100% were obtained under stress-controlled programming. Under strain-controlled conditions, it needs to be considered that relatively high stresses can be generated during programming. Potential biomedical applications are intelligent implants or smart drug release systems.
