RESUMO
In the title compound, C26H18BrN, the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles with its adjacent anthracene ring system and pendant benzene ring of 87.49â (13) and 62.01â (17)°, respectively. The N-H moiety is sterically blocked from forming a hydrogen bond, but weak C-Hâ¯π inter-actions occur in the extended structure.
RESUMO
In the title compound, C26H18BrN, the dihedral angles between the anthracene ring system and the phenyl rings are 89.51â (14) and 74.03â (15)°. In the extended structure, a weak C-Hâ¯Br inter-action occurs, which generates [100] chains, but no significant π-π or C-Hâ¯π inter-actions are observed.
RESUMO
Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are stimuli-responsive materials known for their outstanding ability to be actuated from temporary shape into original shape. Because of this unique functionality SMPs are promising materials for diverse technological applications including smart biomedical devices. In this article, the work has been focused towards tailoring the SMP precursor and crosslinker wt% to obtain biocompatible acrylate based shape memory polymer with glass transition temperature (Tg) close to human body temperature. Methacrylate based shape memory polymer networks are synthesized via free radical polymerization by varying the wt% of t-butyl acrylate (tBA) and poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) as crosslinker. The Tg is found to increase from 28 to 45°C with increasing tBA amount. The SMP synthesized from 70wt% of tBA and 30wt% of PEGDMA possess Tg close to human body temperature and is tested for cytotoxicity with two different cell lineages, osteosarcoma (MG-63) cells, and human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells. The synthesized SMP is found to be non-cytotoxic. Thus the investigated biocompatible shape memory polymer network can be a promising soft substrate for passive thermomechanical stimulation which can adapt and meet specific needs of in vitro or in vivo orthopedic Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior (SLAP) medical devices.
