This review describes the design, synthesis and evaluation of novel catechol based anchors for surface modification. The anachelin chromophore, the catecholate fragment of the siderophore anachelin from the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica, allows for th ...
A large improvement of the electrochemical capacitive detection of ssDNA and antigens by using ethylene-glycol alkanethiol monolayers has been recently demonstrated. Alkanethiol monolayers without ethylene-glycol functionalization do not show the required ...
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for coating surfaces with specially designed thioethers and amphiphilic thioethers that reduce protein adsorption and/or cell adhesion. This reduction may be achieved, for example, by controlling the spa ...
Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization is a powerful strategy to tailor the chemical and physical surface properties of materials. This article highlights recent work from the author's laboratory in which surface-initiated atom transfer radica ...
Polymer-coated liposomes, particularly poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-substituted liposomes, have emerged as long-circulating carrier systems for drug delivery and diagnostic purposes. A rapid synthesis of three different types of multifunctional lipids with ...
A one-step extrusion process under physiological conditions yielded calcium alginate-poly-(ethylene glycol) hybrid microspheres (Alg-PEG-M), for which the physical properties were adjustable by the macromolecular characteristics of the components, their co ...
The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of novel poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based copolymers bearing multiple functional groups, obtained by anionic ring-opening (co)polymerization (AROP), has been investigated. Variable comonomer ratios o ...
Plasma spraying is a well developed and widely used technology, successfully applied for ceramic and metal coatings in many fields of applications such as aeronautics, gas turbine, automotive or medical. The coatings obtained are usually intentionally poro ...
As living systems understanding got better, as life could be modeled in a batch, using immortalized cells, researches in fundamental sciences found startling applications of advanced techniques on living systems. As the biomaterial field developed various ...
In this study, the residue-selective modification of proteins with polymers at arginine residues is reported. The difficulty in modifying arginine residues lies in the fact that they are less reactive than lysine residues. Consequently, typical chemo-selec ...
