Polymeric delivery systems could enable the fast- and low-side-effect transport of various RNA classes. Previously, we demonstrated that polyvinylamine (PVAm), a cationic polymer, transfects many kinds of RNAs with high efficiency and low toxicity both in vitro and in vivo. The modification of poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) with cartilage-targeting peptide (CAP) enhances its stiffness and tissue-specific delivery of RNA to overcome the avascular nature of articular cartilage. Here we describe the protocol to use PVAm as an RNA carrier, and further, by modifying PVAm with PLGA and CAP, the corresponding co-polymer could be applied for functional RNA delivery for osteoarthritis treatment.

Graphene oxide (GO) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) that employ facilitated transport of carbon dioxide were prepared and tested for use in postcombustion carbon capture. Two graphene hybrids were synthesized using exfoliated graphene (G) and GO as a basis and were then appended with triethylene glycol (TEG) and -(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylenediamine (EDAOH) functional groups, respectively. Unfunctionalized GO nanoparticles were commercially obtained for comparison to the synthesized nanoparticles.

A contact-active antibacterial approach based on the physical adsorption of a cationic polyelectrolyte onto the surface of a cellulose material is today regarded as an environment-friendly way of creating antibacterial surfaces and materials. In this approach, the electrostatic charge of the treated surfaces is considered to be an important factor for the level of bacteria adsorption and deactivation/killing of the bacteria. In order to clarify the influence of surface charge density of the cellulose on bacteria adsorption as well as on their viability, bacteria were adsorbed onto cellulose model surfaces, which were modified by physically adsorbed cationic polyelectrolytes to create surfaces with different positive charge densities.

Water- and solvent-soluble polymeric materials based on polyalkylamines modified with nucleophilic groups are introduced as catalysts of chemical warfare agent (CWA) hydrolysis. A comparative study conducted at constant pH and based on the criteria of the synthetic route simplicity, aqueous solubility, and rate of hydrolysis of CWA mimic, diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), indicated that 4-aminopyridine-substituted polyallylamine (PAAm-APy) and polyvinylamine substituted with 4-aminopyridine (PVAm-APy) were advantageous over 4-pyridinealdoxime-modified PVAm and PAAm, poly(butadiene-co-pyrrolidinopyridine), and PAAm modified with bipyridine and its complex with Cu(II). The synthesis of PVAm-APy and PAAm-APy involved generation of a betaine derivative of acrylamide and its covalent attachment onto the polyalkylamine chain followed by basic hydrolysis.
