Abstract

A new photoconjugation approach was developed to prepare nanoparticle-supported boronic acid polymer for effective separation and enrichment of bacteria. The photo-activated polymer immobilization was demonstrated by coupling an azide-modified copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide and glycidyl methacrylate to a perfluorophenyl azide-modified silica surface. The thermoresponsive polymer was synthesized using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization followed by conversion of the pendant epoxides into azide groups. The perfluorophenyl azide-modified silica nanoparticles were synthesized by an amidation reaction between amino-functionalized silica and pentafluorobenzoyl chloride, and a subsequent treatment with sodium...

A new photoconjugation approach was developed to prepare nanoparticle-supported boronic acid polymer for effective separation and enrichment of bacteria. The photo-activated polymer immobilization was demonstrated by coupling an azide-modified copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide and glycidyl methacrylate to a perfluorophenyl azide-modified silica surface. The thermoresponsive polymer was synthesized using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization followed by conversion of the pendant epoxides into azide groups. The perfluorophenyl azide-modified silica nanoparticles were synthesized by an amidation reaction between amino-functionalized silica and pentafluorobenzoyl chloride, and a subsequent treatment with sodium azide. Bacteria-capturing boronic acid was conjugated to the silica-supported polymer chains via Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction. The particle size, morphology and organic content of the composite nanoparticles were characterized systematically. The capability of the nanocomposite to bind Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was investigated. The nanocomposite exhibited high binding capacities for E. coli (13.4 × 107 CFU/mg) and S. epidermidis (7.66 × 107 CFU/mg) in phosphate buffered saline. The new photoconjugation strategy enables fast and straightforward grafting of functional polymers on surface, which opens many new opportunities for designing functional materials for bioseparation and biosensing.
