Methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) is methacrylate bearing a phosphorylcholine
group in the side chain. The phosphorylcholine group generates several unique properties …

A versatile fabrication and performance optimization strategy of PEG and zwitterionic
polymer coatings is developed on the sensor chip of surface plasma resonance (SPR) …

With the development of three-dimensional Raman algorithms for local mapping of oxidation
and plastic strain, and the ability to resolve molecular orientation patterns with microscopic …

Medical devices face nonspecific biofouling from proteins, cells, and microorganisms, which
significantly contributes to complications and device failure. Imparting these devices with …

We describe the design of lubricating and wear protecting fluids based on mixtures of bottle-
brushes (BB) and linear polymer solutions. To illustrate this concept, we used hyaluronic …

Degradable poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels were prepared from a linear
copolymer (M w= 49 kDa) of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-(acethylthio) ethyl …

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), also known as Gore-Tex, is widely used as an
implantable biomaterial in biomedical applications because of its favorable mechanical …

Poly [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethylphosphorylcholine](pMPC) brushes provide extremely low
friction coefficients up to high compressions, but their use as boundary lubricating layers is …

Polymeric biomaterials with antibacterial effects are requisite materials in the fight against
hospital-acquired infections. An effective way for constructing a second generation of …

We present a simple method to prepare zwitterionic poly (2-methacryloyloxyethyl
phosphorylcholine)(PMPC) brushes on silicon surfaces that exhibit excellent long term …
