Polymer brushes on thiol-modified gold surfaces were synthesized by using terminal thiol
groups for the surface-initiated free radical polymerization of methacrylic acid and …

This article describes the synthesis of anionic polymer brushes and their mineralization with
calcium phosphate. The brushes are based on poly (3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium …

Modification of bone implant materials with biofunctional surfaces that facilitate osteoblast
adhesion and promote matrix mineralization is an attractive strategy to improve …

In an attempt to interact natural bone and bone cells with biomaterials and to begin to
develop modular tissue engineering scaffolds, substrates containing phosphonate groups …

Implant medical research and tissue engineering both target the design of novel
biomaterials for the improvement of human health and clinical applications. In order to …

Current strategies for bone tissue regeneration focus on the development of implantable
