The modification of a surface at the molecular level with precise control of the building
blocks generates an integrated molecular system. This field has progressed rapidly in recent …

Polyurethanes cover a large range of materials exhibiting various physical and mechanical
properties making them useful in different applications such as elastomers or biomaterials …

Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) film was exposed to oxygen plasma glow discharge to
produce peroxides on its surfaces. These peroxides were then used as catalysts for the …

The miniemulsions process represents a versatile tool for the formation of polymeric
nanoparticles consisting of different kinds of polymer as obtained by a variety of …

Functional group-grafted polyurethanes were prepared by oxygen plasma discharge
treatment, followed by graft polymerization of 1-acryloylbenzotriazole (AB) and a subsequent …

Materials to enhance cell adhesion were synthesized by surface integration of peptide, Arg‐
Gly‐Asp‐Ser (RGDS), which is an active‐site sequence of cell‐adhesive proteins …

A radiolabeling technique was employed to study adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of
bovine serum albumin (BSA) on five polymeric surfaces of different hydrophilicities and on …

Polyurethane (PU), based on poly (dimethyl siloxane)(PDMS) as a soft segment, with
monomethoxy poly (ethylene glycol)(MPEG) grafted onto it, was synthesized as a new …

Polyurethanes (PU) were synthesized from 4, 4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and
polytetramethylene glycol, and subsequently with ethylene diamine as a chain extender …

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films were treated by oxygen plasma discharge followed
by acrylic acid (AA) grafting. The amount of carboxyl groups introduced by the grafting of AA …
