Over the past decade, star polymers have been widely used in biomedical applications such
as drug delivery, gene delivery, tissue engineering, diagnosis, medical devices, and …

The syntheses, properties and some applications of star-shaped polymers with arms
constituted of homo-or copolymers of poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) is reviewed. The general …

This report demonstrates the feasibility of surface-initiated atom transfer radical
polymerization to prepare thin polymer layers (“brushes”) that can be functionalized with …

This work covers the synthesis of second-generation, ethylene glycol dendrons covalently
linked to a surface anchor that contains two, three, or four catechol groups, the molecular …

In this study, we report the systematic comparison of different poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)
self-assembled monolayers on glass with respect to their protein adsorption and cell …

Star polymers with well-defined molecular architectures have been widely studied in the last
few decades. Of particular interest has been processing-structure-property relationships of …

The objective of this work was to compare poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) and
phosphorylcholine (PC) moieties as surface modifiers with respect to their ability to inhibit …

Monothiol-terminated hyperbranched polyglycerols (HPGs) were synthesized by ring-
opening polymerization of glycidol from partially deprotonated 2, 2 '-dihydroxyethane …

Plasma polymerization at atmospheric pressure provides an eco-friendly alternative to wet
chemistry for creating antibacterial coatings for food packaging. However, the degradation of …

In this study a novel approach for the coating and functionalization of substrates for cell
culture and tissue engineering is presented. Glass, silicon, and titanium panes were coated …
