The development of nonfouling biomaterials to prevent nonspecific protein adsorption and
cell/bacterial adhesion is critical for many biomedical applications, such as …

The surface compatibility and antibacterial properties of biomaterials are crucial to tissue
engineering and other medical applications, and plasma-assisted technologies have been …

Polymer brushes show great promise in next-generation antibiofouling surfaces. Here, we
have studied the influence of polymer brush architecture on protein resistance. By carefully …

Development of biomaterials with long-term biocompatibility, durability, and stability remains
a critical challenge for biomedical devices. Here, we synthesize, characterize, and graft poly …

Because most “low fouling” polymers resisting bacterial attachment are hydrophilic, they are
usually also significantly swollen. Swelling leads to purely physical dilution of interaction …

A major problem to be addressed with thin composite films used in processes such as
coatings or water purification is the biofouling of the surface. To address this problem in a …

Accumulation of small soluble oligomers of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the human brain is thought to
play an important pathological role in Alzheimer's disease. The interaction of these Aβ …

Homopolymer grafts from α-tert-butoxy-ω-vinylbenzyl-polyglycidol (PGL) were prepared on
gold and stainless steel (SS) substrates modified by 4-benzoyl-phenyl (BP) moieties derived …

A new biocompatible silicone comprising a carboxybetaine (CB) ester analogue, 3-
methacryloxypropyltris (trimethylsiloxy) silane (TRIS) and an organic silicone macromer (bis …

A temporary cardiovascular stent device by bioabsorbable materials might reduce late stent
thrombosis. A water-soluble amphiphilic phospholipid polymer bearing phosphorylcholine …
