In article 1400093 H.-Y. Chen and co-workers demonstrate that vapor-based thiol-reactive coatings which are composed of maleimide and vinyl anchoring groups can effectively tailor surface properties through specific conjugation reactions. Thermal stability tests and mechanical adhesion tests have shown robustness for these coatings on various substrates. Suppressed protein fouling property and controlled endothelial cell attachment is demonstrated by using the advanced coating technique.
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.
