Outline of Final Research Achievements

A new facile method for the preparation of temperature-responsive cell culture surfaces (TRCS) by using photoinitiator immobilized PDMS surface was developed. First of all, thioxanthone groups, which served as the photoinitiator, were directly formed on PDMS (TX-PDMS) surface. Second, PNNACPM and PNMANPIproDAP, which were new types of temperature-responsive polymers, were grafted onto PDMS surfaces by using light-emitting diode irradiation-induced. PNNACPM and PNMANPIproDAP grafted PDMS surfaces successfully exhibited temperature dependent cell attachment and detachment properties. In addition, adhered cells were proliferated and became confluency. Cells were detached as a continuous cell sheet from PNMANPIproDAP grafted PDMS surface by lowering temperature. By applying uniaxial mechanical stress to PNMANPIproDAP grafted PDMS surface, we found that surface properties were more hydrophobic than unstretched PNMANPIproDAP grafted PDMS surface.
