Completely water-based systems are of interest for the development of novel material for various reasons: On one hand, they provide benign environment for biological systems and on the other hand they facilitate effective molecular transport in a membrane-free environment. In order to investigate the general potential of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) for biomaterials and compartmentalized systems, various solid particles were applied to stabilize all-aqueous emulsion droplets. The target ATPS to be investigated should be prepared via mixing of two aqueous solutions of water-soluble polymers, which turn biphasic when exceeding a critical polymer concentration. Hydrophilic polymers with a wide range of molar mass such as dextran/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) can therefore be applied. Solid particles adsorbed at the interfaces can be exceptionally efficient stabilizers forming so-called Pickering emulsions, and nanoparticles can bridge the correlation length of polymer solutions and are thereby the best option for water-in-water emulsions.
The first approach towards the investigation of ATPS was conducted with all aqueous dextran-PEG emulsions in the presence of poly(dopamine) particles (PDP) in Chapter 4. The water-in-water emulsions were formed with a PEG/dextran system via utilizing PDP as stabilizers. Studies of the formed emulsions were performed via laser scanning confocal microscope (CLSM), optical microscope (OM), cryo-scanning electron microscope (SEM) and tensiometry. The stable emulsions (at least 16 weeks) were demulsified easily via dilution or surfactant addition. Furthermore, the solid PDP at the water-water interface were crosslinked in order to inhibit demulsification of the Pickering emulsion. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to visualize the morphology of PDP before and after crosslinking. PDP stabilized water-in-water emulsions were utilized in the following Chapter 5 to form supramolecular compartmentalized hydrogels. Here, hydrogels were prepared in pre-formed water-in-water emulsions and gelled via α-cyclodextrin-PEG (α-CD-PEG) inclusion complex formation. Studies of the formed complexes were performed via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and the mechanical properties of the hydrogels were measured with oscillatory shear rheology. In order to verify the compartmentalized state and its triggered decomposition, hydrogels and emulsions were assessed via OM, SEM and CLSM. The last chapter broadens the investigations from the previous two systems by utilizing various carbon nitrides (CN) as different stabilizers in ATPS. CN introduces another way to trigger demulsification, namely irradiation with visible light. Therefore, emulsification and demulsification with various triggers were probed. The investigated all aqueous multi-phase systems will act as model for future fabrication of biocompatible materials, cell micropatterning as well as separation of compartmentalized systems.
Research on novel and advanced biomaterials is an indispensable step towards their applications in desirable fields such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, cell culture, or biotechnology. The work presented here focuses on such a promising material: polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) and poly(L-lysine) (PLL). This gel-like polymer surface coating is able to accumulate (bio-)molecules such as proteins or drugs and release them in a controlled manner. It serves as a mimic of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in composition and intrinsic properties. These qualities make the HA/PLL multilayers a promising candidate for multiple bio-applications such as those mentioned above. The work presented aims at the development of a straightforward approach for assessment of multi-fractional diffusion in multilayers (first part) and at control of local molecular transport into or from the multilayers by laser light trigger (second part).
The mechanism of the loading and release is governed by the interaction of bioactives with the multilayer constituents and by the diffusion phenomenon overall. The diffusion of a molecule in HA/PLL multilayers shows multiple fractions of different diffusion rate. Approaches, that are able to assess the mobility of molecules in such a complex system, are limited. This shortcoming motivated the design of a novel evaluation tool presented here.
The tool employs a simulation-based approach for evaluation of the data acquired by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) method. In this approach, possible fluorescence recovery scenarios are primarily simulated and afterwards compared with the data acquired while optimizing parameters of a model until a sufficient match is achieved. Fluorescent latex particles of different sizes and fluorescein in an aqueous medium are utilized as test samples validating the analysis results. The diffusion of protein cytochrome c in HA/PLL multilayers is evaluated as well.
This tool significantly broadens the possibilities of analysis of spatiotemporal FRAP data, which originate from multi-fractional diffusion, while striving to be widely applicable. This tool has the potential to elucidate the mechanisms of molecular transport and empower rational engineering of the drug release systems.
The second part of the work focuses on the fabrication of such a spatiotemporarily-controlled drug release system employing the HA/PLL multilayer. This release system comprises different layers of various functionalities that together form a sandwich structure. The bottom layer, which serves as a reservoir, is formed by HA/PLL PEM deposited on a planar glass substrate. On top of the PEM, a layer of so-called hybrids is deposited. The hybrids consist of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) -based hydrogel microparticles with surface-attached gold nanorods. The layer of hybrids is intended to serve as a gate that controls the local molecular transport through the PEM–solution-interface. The possibility of stimulating the molecular transport by near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation is being explored.
From several tested approaches for the deposition of hybrids onto the PEM surface, the drying-based approach was identified as optimal. Experiments, that examine the functionality of the fabricated sandwich at elevated temperature, document the reversible volume phase transition of the PEM-attached hybrids while sustaining the sandwich stability. Further, the gold nanorods were shown to effectively absorb light radiation in the tissue- and cell-friendly NIR spectral region while transducing the energy of light into heat. The rapid and reversible shrinkage of the PEM-attached hybrids was thereby achieved. Finally, dextran was employed as a model transport molecule. It loads into the PEM reservoir in a few seconds with the partition constant of 2.4, while it spontaneously releases in a slower, sustained manner. The local laser irradiation of the sandwich, which contains the fluorescein isothiocyanate tagged dextran, leads to a gradual reduction of fluorescence intensity in the irradiated region.
The release system fabricated employs renowned photoresponsivity of the hybrids in an innovative setting. The results of the research are a step towards a spatially-controlled on-demand drug release system that paves the way to spatiotemporally controlled drug release.
The approaches developed in this work have the potential to elucidate the molecular dynamics in ECM and to foster engineering of multilayers with properties tuned to mimic the ECM. The work aims at spatiotemporal control over the diffusion of bioactives and their presentation to the cells.
