Poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) brushes were grafted onto microporous polysulfone (PSF) membranes via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) and then immobilized copper (II) ions on the modified membrane. Copper-loaded membranes exhibited excellent antibacterial properties with the added advantage of repeated use.

To gain mechanistic insights into drug loading and lyophilization of polymeric micelles. PEGylated poly-4-(vinylpyridine) micelles were loaded with dexamethasone. Three different methods were applied and compared: O/W emulsion, direct dialysis, cosolvent evaporation. Micellar dispersions with the highest drug load were

Herein, we report the first example of a supramolecular carbon nanotube (CNT)-based magnetic depolluting agent for divalent metal ion (M(2+)) removal from aqueous solutions. In particular, magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (m-MWCNTs) coated with poly(vinylpyridine) (PVPy) self-aggregate in aqueous solutions that
