报告内容简介：

Thermo-sensitive affinity of the membrane with water resulted the average pore dimension responded to temperature changes. This report mainly introduces the grafting method of thermo-sensitive switching membrane and its application as protein valves. The thermo-sensitive switching membrane was prepared through grafting, using a click reaction, of an N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) derivative onto an electrospun poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) fibrous membrane (EPFM). The PPO was first electrospun into a fibrous membrane, then brominated and reacted with NaN3 to generate the azido-terminated EPFMs. A PNIPAAm was synthesized and grafted onto the azido-terminated EPFMs. The surface roughness of PPO fibers was increased due to the presence of PNIPAAm grafts, such that the thermoresponse of the static water contact angle (SWCA) of PNIPAAm-grafted EPFMs between 25 and 45 °C was significantly greater than that of the same PNIPAAm grafted on a flat surface. Taking advantage of this temperature-responsive affinity, we applied the membranes as protein valves that blocked and released an antibody.
