▎ 摘  要

The preparation of biodegradable and positively charged graphene-polymer nanocomposite for DNA uptake and release is presented. A pyrene-terminated poly(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl acrylate) is firstly synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, followed by the attachment onto the graphene surface via the - stacking interaction. The positively charged polymer brushes benefit the uptake of the negatively charged DNA fragment via static interaction and the built-in disulfide linkage between the polymer chain and graphene surface allows the biodegradable release of DNA in the presence of reducing agents. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy manifests the binding of DNA molecules to the polymer chains and agarose gel electrophoresis confirms the release of DNA. [GRAPHICS]
