Abstract:
Dual-functional nonfouling surfaces and materials, methods for making dual-functional nonfouling surfaces and materials, and devices that include dual-functional nonfouling surfaces and materials. The dual-functional surfaces are nonfouling surfaces that resist non-specific protein adsorption and cell adhesion. The dual-functional surfaces and materials include covalently coupled biomolecules (e.g., target binding partners) that impart specific biological activity thereto. The surfaces and materials are useful in medical diagnostics, biomaterials and bioprocessing, tissue engineering, and drug delivery.
Abstract:
Hierarchical films with structurally regulated functionalities through the integration of two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures to achieve ultra low nonspecific binding and high loading of molecular recognition elements, and methods for making and using the films.
Abstract:
Zwitterionic and mixed charge conducting polymers, surfaces modified to include the polymers, bulk constructs that include the polymers, and methods for using the polymers.
Abstract:
Nanoparticles zwitterionic polymers grafted thereto or grafted therefrom, and methods for making and using the nanoparticles. Zwitterionic nanogels, and methods for making and using the nanogels.
