While nature has optimized its antifouling strategies over millions of years, synthetic
antifouling coatings have not yet reached technological maturity. For an antifouling coating …

Abstract Poly (2-oxazoline) s have been investigated for decades as biomaterials.
Pioneering early work suggested that hydrophilic poly (2-oxazoline) s are comparable to …

Recent progress in surface-initiated polymerization enables the deliberate polymer
modification of nanoscopic surfaces with high levels of precision. This has given rise to the …

Cyclic polymers present a topology that differ significantly from their linear counterparts due
to their circular structure and therefore, the lack of chain ends. These simple characteristics …

Polymer brushes have been theoretically described, their behavior under diverse conditions
has been modeled, and their preparation via surface-initiated polymerizations (SIPs) has …

Cyclic polymers with a ring-like topology and no chain ends are a unique class of
macromolecules. In the past several decades, significant advances have been made to …

Linear and cyclic poly (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)(PEOXA) adsorbates provide excellent colloidal
stability to superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe x O y NPs) within protein-rich …

Tissue‐reactive graft copolymers were designed to protect the cartilage against enzymatic
degradation and restore its lubrication properties during the early stages of osteoarthritis …

Biofouling caused by nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules and organisms such as
proteins, cells, and bacteria to material surfaces is a significant challenge for numerous …

The addition of nanoparticles (NPs) to polymers is a powerful method to improve the
mechanical and other properties of macromolecular materials. Such hybrid polymer–particle …
