There has been a considerable interest in developing stiff, strong, tough, and highly stretchable hydrogels in various fields of science and technology including biomedical and sensing applications. However, simultaneous optimization of stiffness, strength ...
2021Light-Activated, Bioadhesive, Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) Brush Coatings
Jian Wang, Dominique Pioletti, Harm-Anton Klok, Peyman Karami, Nariye Cavusoglu Ataman
Rapid adhesion between tissue and synthetic materials is relevant to accelerate wound healing and to facilitate the integration of implantable medical devices. Most frequently, tissue adhesives are applied as a gel or a liquid formulation. This manuscript ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020Fatigue Characterization of a structural adhesive
During the last decades, adhesives have become more preponderant as serious options to traditional mechanical ways of bonding things together. From airplane engineering to construction the advantages of such technique have pushed the innovation and conduct ...
2020Reversibly Cross-Linking Polymer Brushes Using Interchain Disulfide Bonds
The introduction of interchain cross-links in surface-grafted polymer brushes increases the robustness and mechanical properties of these thin polymer films. In most cases, cross-linked polymer brushes contain permanent interchain cross-links. The use of r ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020Adhesion and interfacial healing between supramolecular hybrid networks and glass substrates
Véronique Michaud, Federica Sordo
Adhesion towards glass and interfacial healing of partially supramolecular hybrid polymer networks featuring a range of H-bdnds content were investigated through two dedicated adhesion test methods. In a first series of tests, adhesion strength was measure ...
Elsevier2017Adhesion of surgical sealants used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery
Yves Leterrier, Yann Barrandon
Surgical sealants are widely used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery essentially for hemostasis and sealing. Their adhesive properties have mainly been studied by clinical experiments. The objective of this study is to measure adhesion of the three mai ...

Harm-Anton Klok, Kislon Voitchovsky, Nicolas Bertrand Schüwer, Solenne Desseaux, Juan Pablo Hinestrosa Salazar
Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (PPEGMA) brushes represent a class of thin, surface-tethered polymer films that have been extensively used e.g. to generate non-biofouling surfaces or as model systems t ...
2016Peptide-Polymer Conjugates for Therapeutic Applications
Over the last ten years the attention of the pharmaceutical industry has shifted away from small molecules to focus on new biologics such as antibodies, proteins and therapeutic peptides. Herein, peptides have emerged as a particularly interesting category ...
EPFL2015Synthesis of Responsive Polymer Brushes for Sensing Applications
During the past decades the field of sensors has been subject to much attention due to an increased demand for (bio)sensors and environmental monitoring. The efforts have been concentrated to create sensors which are reliable, highly sensitive and selectiv ...
EPFL2011Interactive Surfaces Based on Polymer Brushes
While the bulk structure of a material determines its mechanical properties, its surface plays a key role when interactions with the environment are important. Nowadays materials in bio- and nanotechnology are required to possess very complex functionaliti ...
