Disclosed herein are polymers comprising at least one alkyne functional group, at least one azide functional group, and a conformational bend outside of coplanarity of 30 or greater. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

Solution-processable triazole-based polymers and methods of making the same

Disclosed are antimicrobial articles and surfaces, as well as methods of making such articles and surfaces.

Antimicrobial coatings and methods of making and using thereof

The present invention provides polymer brush constructs, for example, surfaces decorated with hyaluronan polymers, and methods of making the same. The constructs are useful as functional materials for numerous applications, e.g., as lubricants, implant coatings, bandages and other uses.

Self-regenerating hyaluronan polymer brushes

The present invention is directed to novel functionalized spirocentric compounds and polymers thereof that produce hyper-rigid cross-linked membranes.

Spirocentric compounds and polymers thereof

The present invention is directed to methods of fabricating novel cross-linked membranes and to cross-linked membranes produced by the disclosed methods. Specifically, methods of fabricating cross-linked membranes according to the present invention may comprise direct crosslinking, crosslinking by addition of a small molecule, interfacial crosslinking of free-standing film, and interfacial crosslinking on a solid support.

Functionalized membranes and methods of production thereof

Disclosed herein are degradable materials comprising the reaction product of an oxanorbornadiene crosslinker or derivative thereof and a multivalent nucleophile-terminated compound, wherein the reaction product is a degradable elastic solid capable of entraining cargo. Also disclosed herein are degradable materials comprising a polymeric and hyperbranched crosslinked material made with oxanorbornadiene linkage that can be activated for cleavage at a predetermined rate by addition of a nucleophile. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

Nucleophile-triggered degradable materials and methods of making and using the same

Disclosed are polycationic polymers. The polycationic polymers can include a plurality of positively charged centers, each of which is formed by condensation of cyclic bis-electrophile (e.g., a 9-thia/aza/selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl electrophile) with a nucleophile. The resulting polycationic polymers can efficiently bind nucleic acids. The polycations can also exhibit properties of cytotoxicity and DNA transfection with interesting structure-activity characteristics.
