摘要: Antifouling surfaces are important for biomedical devices to prevent secondary infections and mitigate the effects of foreign body response. Herein, we describe melt-coextruded poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofiber mats grafted with antifouling polymers. Nonwoven PCL fiber produced using a multilayered melt coextrusion process followed by high-pressure hydroentanglement yield porous patches. The resulting show submicrometer cross-sectional dimensions pore sizes that were nearly uniform, mean size 1.6 ± 0.9 μm. Several polymers, including hydrophilic, zwitterionic, amphipathic molecules, surface two-step procedure includes photochemistry copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction. Fiber evaluated separate adsorption tests serum proteins E. coli. results indicate poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-co-(trifluoroethyl...
