- Doubly Biomimetic Catecholic Phosphorylcholine Copolymer: A Platform Strategy for Fabricating Antifouling Surfaces
Yong-Kuan Gong, Li-Ping Liu and Phillip B. Messersmith
Article first published online: 18 MAY 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/mabi.201200074
A doubly biomimetic copolymer bearing cell antifouling phosphorylcholine and mussel adhesive protein catechol groups is described. The polymer can adhere onto a variety of materials via the catechol functional group while forming a cell outer membrane mimetic antifouling surface. This doubly biomimetic strategy can be extended, offering simple yet versatile methods of surface modification.
- Tailored Poly(2-oxazoline) Polymer Brushes to Control Protein Adsorption and Cell Adhesion
Ning Zhang, Tilo Pompe, Ihsan Amin, Robert Luxenhofer, Carsten Werner and Rainer Jordan
Article first published online: 18 MAY 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/mabi.201200026
Poly(2-oxazoline) bottle-brush brushes (POx-BBBs) are synthesized by two-step surface-initiated polymerization. The protein adsorption and cell adhesion on POx-BBB surfaces are investigated as a function of polymer side chain composition, length, and end group. On hydrophilic POx-BBBs, extremely low protein adsorption and cell adhesion is observed.
