A facile strategy for the modification of polyethylene substrates with non-fouling, bioactive poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) brushes

Harm-Anton Klok, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Brian Pullin

This manuscript reports a facile strategy for the modification of polyethylene, a widely used biomaterial, with a thin non-biofouling coating that can act as a platform to introduce biochemical cues to control and direct, e.g., cell adhesion and proliferat ...
