The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of
implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients …

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 …

Since the time first synthetic macrocycles were observed as academic curiosities, great
advances have been made. Thanks to the development of controlled polymerization …

In this review, we discuss the concept of bioinspired lubrication using novel polymeric
structures, which has led to producing a myriad of new systems with effective and …

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

Surface modification techniques are crucial in biomedical applications as they determine the
direct response to the biological environment against the interfacing materials. Physical and …

We report here the synthesis of cyclic polymers and block copolymers consisting of discrete
numbers of repeating units without linear contaminants. The synthesis utilizes the …

We report on the formation of counterpropagating density gradients in poly ([2-
dimethylaminoethyl] methacrylate)(PDMAEMA) brushes featuring spatially varying …

Antifouling surfaces have attracted increasing interest in recent years due to their potential
application in various fields. In this work, we report a loop polyzwitterionic coating that …
