Generally, medical implants, regardless of their construction materials, will become coated
in a layer of nonspecific proteins mere seconds after implantation. This adsorbed layer …

The Hoffmeister effect of inorganic salts is verified as a promising way to toughen hydrogels,
however, the high concentration of inorganic salts may be accompanied by poor …

As an amphiphilic macromolecule, protein's non-specific adsorption problem restricts the
application of materials in many aspects, especially in biological media. To solve this …

Nanotubular titanium oxide (TiO2) produced by self-ordering processes using
electrochemical anodization have been extensively explored in recent years as a new …

In this paper, a series of fluorinated amphiphilic copolymers composed of 2-
perfluorooctylethyl methacrylate (FMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) monomers …

This review surveys low‐pressure plasma‐based methods for producing hydrophilic and
hydrogel‐like bio‐interface coatings without reactive functional groups in aqueous media …

There exists an abundant literature on polymers used for biomedical applications. However,
the research described in this article deals with the plasma (co) polymerisation of different …

Cells respond to their environment in complex and sometimes poorly understood ways.
Protein, peptide and synthetic peptidomimetic ligands may all be used to stimulate cells via …

We show for the first time the possibility of using networks of amyloid fibrils, adsorbed to
solid supports and with plasma polymer coatings, for the fabrication of chemically …

Thermal decomposition of PEO under vacuum was used in combination with a glow
discharge to deposit PEO‐like plasma polymer films. Evaporation without plasma allows the …
