Surface-initiated photoinduced SET-LRP of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide from an initiator-containing monolayer yields micropatterned brushes resistant to blood plasma fouling.
The adhesion forces between a single bacterial cell and different polymer brushes were measured directly with an atomic force microscope and correlated with their resistance to fouling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
