  • Surface-Initiated Click-Ready Bioactive Polymer Coatings: Synthesis and Characterization

    Creator:
    Yu, Bonan
    Abstract:
    Protein adsorption on blood contacting medical devices usually causes fouling and failure, and may promote clotting and undesirable immune responses. Hydrophilic polymer coatings in a dense, pendent “brush” conformation can resist protein adsorption on the surface while increasing biocompatibility. Such coatings can also be used to immobilize a variety of...
