“…Since numerous biomedical devices are made of plastics (Czuba, 2014;Padsalgikar, 2017;Sastri, 2014a;Sastri, 2014b;Sastri, 2014c;Sastri, 2014d), the dual-functional coating was studied on poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) slide substrates. The reasons behind the selection of PEOXA as the biopassive platform, and laminin as the bioactive compounds are available in our previous publications (Pidhatika et al, 2019a;Pidhatika et al, 2019b). For the crosslinker, benzophenone is classified as a non-specific cross-linker that can bind to any C-H bonds in its vicinity.…”
