Abstract: Hydrogel coating is highly suitable in biomaterial design. It provides biocompatibility and avoids protein adsorption leading to inflammation and rejection of implants. Moreover, hydrogels can be loaded with biologically active compounds. In this field, hyaluronic acid has been largely studied as an additional component since this polysaccharide is naturally present in extracellular matrix.

  • Electrostatic Effects in Soft Matter and Biophysics NATO Science Series
    Electrostatic Effects in Soft Matter and Biophysics NATO Science Series A Series presenting the results of scientific meetings supported under the NArO Science Programme. The Series is published by 10S Press, Amsterdam, and Kluwer Academic Publishers in conjunction with the NATO Scientific Affairs Division Sub-Series 1. Life and Behavioural Sciences 10S Press II. Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Kluwer Academic Publishers III. Computer and Systems Science 10S Press IV. Earth and Environmental Sciences Kluwer Academic Publishers The NATO Science Series continues the series of books published formerly as the NATO ASI Series. The NATO Science Programme offers support for collaboration in civil science between scientists of countries of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council. The types of scientific meeting generally supported are "Advanced Study Institutes" and "Advanced Research Workshops", and the NATO Science Series collects together the results of these meetings. The meetings are co-organized bij scientists from NATO countries and scientists from NATO's Partner countries - countries of the CIS and Central and Eastern Europe. Advanced Study Institutes are high-Ievel tutorial courses offering in-depth study of latest advances in a field. Advanced Research Workshops are expert meetings aimed at critical assessment of a field, and identification of directions for future aetion. As a consequence of the restrueturing of the NATO Science programme in 1999, the NATO Science Series was re-organized to the four sub-series noted above.

    An Introduction to Polyelectrolyte Multilayers Layer-by-Layer Adsorption (LbL): An Enabling Technology for the Nano- construction of Multifunctional Films on Solvent Accessible Surfaces. G. Decher / Institut Charles Sadron Institut Charles Sadron 1 Differences between chemistry in bulk and at interfaces Some trivia: • Surface functional groups accessible only from the solution side. ( SN1 might be favored over SN2 ; reactivities different from bulk) • Typical monolayer thicknesses of 0.5 nm to 5 nm. • Typical surface areas of 0.20 nm2 per molecule, 5 1014 molecules per cm2. • At a mass of 400 g/mol, 1 cm2 of a densely packed monolayer corresponds to 0.33 µg of material. • 5g (semi-preparative scale), would cover an area of 1500 m2. • Monomolecular layers of polymer may be thinner and less dense and typically consist of 0.1 to 1.5 mg of material per 1 m2. • Less than 0.02 mg for chemical analysis and physical characterization Advantage: We only need tiny amounts from colleagues doing synthesis Institut Charles Sadron 4 Build-to-Order Assembled Films Build-to-Order (BTO) is the capability to quickly build standard or mass-customized products upon receipt of spontaneous orders without forecasts. Layer-by-Layer assembly allows to design functional surfaces and surface-based nano-devices in a "build-to-order" fashion. It exceeds simple self-organization under equilibrium conditions by making it possible to arrange many different materials at will with nanoscale precision.

  • ADVISORY NOTE Strasbourg, France, October 8Th 2009
    ADVISORY NOTE Strasbourg, France, October 8th 2009 Details on SHIP-In R&D project revealed, a world-class project for French Research supported by the Alsace BioValley Cluster The SHIP-In research-and-development project has a single goal: developing new and innovative cellular systems for the biopharmaceutical industry. It received the label of the Alsace BioValley cluster in Alsace, France, in November 2008 and is co-sponsored by France’s Cancer Bio Santé and Medicen research poles. The pharmaceutical industry’s development of new therapeutic molecules requires the development and utilization of experimental cellular models that are both efficient and reliable. For a long time, the only possibility was to use stem cells extracted from human embryos. Apart from the difficulty of ensuring their availability, the use of such cells is also circumscribed by stringent ethical and regulatory constraints, which considerably hamper and slow the discovery of new medicines. Today, a new scientific approach offers an alternative to the use of embryonic stem cells, which is to start with adult human cells and reprogram them as multi-purpose cells. The SHIP-In project consists in optimizing this new technology to cater for the demands of the biopharmaceutical industry. The aim is to provide pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies with an unlimited supply of human cells which meet quality criteria that are not available today. Eventually, SHIP-In should facilitate the discovery of new molecules and generally speed up the therapeutic innovation process. “SHIP-In presents a unique opportunity for participating in the development of scientific advances that have been unanimously hailed at a world level,” declared Nicolas Carboni, the Director of the Alsace BioValley cluster, a partner in the project.

Tenn. and for that I apologize. The Department has under- gone many changes since the last publication of J. Chem. Tenn. and I, in the spirit of renewal, would like to take the time to reconnect with all of you. I have begun another term as Department Head with a new vision strengthened by our faculty, staff, and students. Most of you may be pon- dering the question; “How is the Department doing these Professor Craig Barnes days?” Pretty well in fact but always striving to do better. Head of the Department of Chemistry The success of a research active department like ours de- pends on a number of factors: the quality of its faculty, its students, graduate and undergraduate alike, and its support more and better ways every day. These are the major rea- staff. We have been able to replace all faculty who have sons why the Department hired a full-time staff member, retired in the last five years. This is a good sign since this Mr. Josh Streufert to bring to life a major new recruiting has not always been the case in the past. While renewing effort that has begun in the department. More discussion on and maintaining our faculty is a strong show of confidence recruiting and outreach will be found inside. by the university administration in the Department we an- All of the things described represent a few of the chal- ticipate that faculty retirements will continue at this pace for lenges we have faced over the past couple of years.

By the Vesicle adsorption of a vesicle onto a porous substrate (specifically, a lycopode grain), it was possible to increase the permeability of the vesicle by locally stretching its membrane. Molecules contained within the vesicle, which could not cross the mem- brane, were delivered to the porous substrate upon adsorp- tion. This general process could provide another method for drug delivery and targeting. Pore ubstrate Much effort has been devoted to developing additional ways to FIG. 1.

Starting date November 1st, 2016 Project abstract Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies applications to biomedical and clinical purposes raise strong expectations, in particular in three specific medical domains which are early diagnosis, targeted drug delivery and regenerative surgery. Such medical advances require a strong multidisciplinary research on technological innovations in micro- and nano-technologies, nano-biosystems nanomaterials and bioengineering. Using a so-called "multifunctional and cooperative" approach based on the chemistry of dendritic macromolecules, we want to meet the challenges posed by the early diagnosis of disease and the monitoring of post-implantation inflammation processes, in any case, for improving patient’s care. Indeed, this multifunctional approach will confer to a unique Nanomedicine tool, increased in vivo stability, reduced toxicity, specific targeting ability and anti- bacterial properties. These new circulating dendritic probes will directly be used by Basel and Freiburg Hospitals conducting pre-clinical studies. In parallel, innovative dendritic coatings will be useful in many dental, orthopedic or vascular (heart valves, pacemakers and cardiac defibrillators) implants and developed in collaboration with INSERM UMR 1121.
