The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-
CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical …

Natural biopolymers such as proteins and nucleic acids in living organisms possess an
inherent ability to respond to local environmental stimuli, which motivated researchers to …

We report the synthesis of thermo-responsive polymer brushes with Upper Critical Solution
Temperature (UCST)-type behaviour on glass to provide a new means to control cell …

Graft copolymers consisting of two different zwitterionic blocks were synthesized via
reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. These polymers showed …

Rational development of antifouling materials is of great importance for fundamental
research and real-world applications. However, current experimental designs and …

Recovering pure and viable circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood has been a
challenging task for molecular characterization and functional analysis, which has attracted …

This paper reports for the first time the fabrication and investigation of wetting properties of
structured surfaces formed by lamellae with an exceptionally high aspect ratio of up to 57: 1 …

In this study, we present a novel thermo-responsive polymer platform that is based on the
alanine methyl ester-containing homopolymer (PNAAMe) and the copolymer with glycine …

Stimuli-sensitive or smart polymers are a most important class of soft materials which
transiently adapt their physical and/or chemical properties upon small changes in the …

In the past few years, photo-responsive smart surfaces have emerged as the promising
candidates to investigate cell adhesion due to the noninvasive property and high …
