Surface Modification with Antifouling Polymers Composed of Polypeptoids and Mussel Adhesive-Inspired Peptides

Description:

Biological fouling of surfaces is problematic for many medical applications because proteins, cells and bacteria can impair the function of devices and lead to catastrophic complications. Numerous strategies exist for reducing fouling in physiological environments; the strategy described in this thesis focuses on the modification of substrates with poly-N-substituted glycine...
