  1. CROSSLINKS GELS STRUCTURE LIQUID PHASE POLYMERIC CHAINS MATRICES ARE COHERENT SYSTEMS MADE UP BY A POLYMERIC NETWORK TRAPPING A CONTINUOUS LIQUIDPHASE. THEY SHOW MECHANICAL PROPERTIES IN BETWEEN THOSE OF SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS

  2. 20 mm 0.2 mm Schneider et al. J. American Chemical Society, 2002. (a) Laser scanning confocal microscopy. Green regions are fluorescently stained self-assembled peptide, and black regions are water-filled pores and channels. (b) CryoTEM. Dark structures are selfassembled peptide scaffold, while lighter gray areas are composed of vitrified water.

  3. PHYSICAL CROSSLINKS (weak) ENTANGLEMENTS (TOPOLOGICAL CONSTRAINS) CONNECTING DISORDERED ZONES Van der Walls, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, Coulombic hydrophobic interactions ORDERED ZONES POLYSACCARIDES (GLUCANS, XANTHAN)

  4. PHYSICAL CROSSLINKS (strong) Ca++ Ca++ Ca++ Ca++ Ca++ Ca++ Ca++ EGGS BOX STRUCTURE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE BIVALENT ION AND GULURONIC UNIT ALGINATES

  5. CHEMICAL CROSSLINKS (strong: covalent bond) SCLEROGLUCAN CROSSLINKED WITH BORAX T. Coviello et al., Int. J. Biol. Macromolecules, 32 (2003) 83

  15. IMPRINTED GELS I I I COMPLEX FORMATION I I CROSSLINKING I I = initiator WASHING = template = functional monomers = crosslinking monomers MOLECULAR IMPRINTING

  16. IMPRINTED POLYMERIC GELS: CHARACTERISTICS Binding affinity: a measure of how well the template molecule is attracted to the binding site Selectivity : the ability to differentiate between the template and other molecules Binding capacity : the maximum amount of template bound per mass or volume of polymer

  17. BINDING AFFINITY Forward reaction (binding) Backward reaction (un-binding) Association constant Macromolecular sites concentration Template concentration
