- Internal Architecture of Zwitterionic Polymer Brushes Regulates Nonfouling Properties
Chun-Jen Huang, Yuting Li, Jordan B. Krause, Norman D. Brault and Shaoyi Jiang
Article first published online: 10 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/marc.201100858
The effects of film thickness and chain packing density on protein-resistant properties of poly(carboxybetaine acrylamide)-based polymer brushes in complex media were investigated. Through adjusting polymerization time and solvent polarity, we found that the internal architecture plays an important role in the nonfouling properties of surface coatings in addition to the dry film thickness.
- Synthesis of β-Cyclodextrin Containing Copolymer via “Click” Chemistry and Its Self-Assembly in the Presence of Guest Compounds

Article first published online: 9 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/marc.201100814
The synthesis of β-cyclodextrin containing block copolymer via a “click” reaction is reported. The self-assembly of this newly synthesized copolymer in the presence of guest compounds can lead to the formation of core–shell structured nanoparticles. These assemblies can be employed as novel delivery vehicles for therapeutics.
- Helical Polymer as Mimetic Enzyme Catalyzing Asymmetric Aldol Reaction
Dongyue Zhang, Chonglei Ren, Wantai Yang and Jianping Deng
Article first published online: 9 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/marc.201100826
Synthetic helical polymers containing pendent prolineamide moieties efficiently catalyze the asymmetric aldol reaction between cyclohexanone and p-nitrobenzaldehyde. Both the product yield and ee can be up to 80%. Helical structures in the copolymer backbones are indispensable for the asymmetric catalysis. An increase in helical structure content leads to better catalysis effects.
