| Résumé: | Polyzwitterionic brushes with strong antipolyelectrolyte effects have shown great potential as versatile platforms for the development of switchable friction/lubrication and bacterial absorption/desorption surfaces. However, the surface property switches of these brushes are usually triggered by high salt concentrations (>0.53 M), thereby greatly limiting their applications in biological fields where the salt concentration for mammals is ?0.15 M. To solve this problem, an electric field was used to assist the salt-responsive process of the polyzwitterionic brushes to achieve bacterial release at low concentrations of the salt solution. Briefly, poly(3-(dimethyl (4-vinylbenzyl) ammonium) propyl sulfonate) (polyDVBAPS) brushes grafted on ITO surfaces were prepared by surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. The bacterial release of this surface was conducted under an electric field, where anions were migrated and enriched around the brush-grafted ITO surface as anode. The local high concentration ion led to the conformation change of the brush and release of the attached bacteria. The effect of salt type, salt concentration, electric field strength, and conducting time on the bacterial release properties were investigated. The results indicated that under an electrical field of 3 V/mm, polyDVBAPS showed release capacities of ?93% for E. coli and ?81% for S. aureus in 0.12 M NaCl electrolyte solution. Furthermore, by the introduction of a bactericidal agent, i.e., Triclosan (TCS), an antibacterial surface with dual functions of killing and release was fabricated. This surface could kill ?90% and release 95% of attached E. coli in a 0.12 M NaCl solution by the application of a 3 V/mm electric field. This work demonstrated the feasibility of triggering a salt-responsive behavior of polyzwitterionic at low salt concentration by assistance of electric field, which would greatly extend the applications of polyzwitterionic, in particular in biological applications |
