Implant-associated infections arising from biofilm development are known to have
detrimental effects with compromised quality of life for the patients, implying a progressing …

Biocompatible polymers are commonly functionalized with specific moieties such as amino
groups to modify their surface properties and/or to attach bioactive compounds. A reliable …

A low-fouling zwitterionic surface strategy has been proven to be promising and effective for
repelling nonspecific adsorption of proteins, cells and bacteria, which may eventually induce …

Inspired by the composition of adhesive proteins in mussels, we used self-polymerized
dopamine to form a thin and surface-adherent polydopamine layer onto poly (ethylene …

Polyethylene terephthalate polymer (PET) is widely used in diverse areas. In the current
study, the surface of PET is modified in two steps in order to improve the quality. At first, the …

Nitric oxide (NO)‐generating materials are beneficial for vascular tissue engineering (VTE)
scaffold because the produced NO would enhance endothelial cells viability while inhibit …

The research and development of nanostructured materials are in a period of intense
growth. However, owing to the larger surface area, they are vulnerable to being influenced …

Here, we synthesize zwitterionic polymer brushes on polyester fabrics by atom transfer
radical polymerization (ATRP) after a prefunctionalization step involving an aminolysis …

Surface functionalization of polymers is crucial for improving biocompatibility and
haemocompatibility, which correlates to improved performance of medical devices. Here, we …

Abstract Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) has been widely adopted as a scaffold
biomaterial, but further hemocompatibility improvement is still needed for wide biomedical …
