Designable biointerfaces using vapor-based reactive polymers.

摘要: Functionalized poly(p-xylylenes) constitute a versatile class of reactive polymers that can be prepared in solventless process via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization. The resulting ultrathin coatings are typically pinhole-free and conformally deposited onto wide range substrates materials. More importantly, appropriately selected functional groups serve as anchoring sites for tailoring biointerface properties the immobilization biomolecules. In this article, controlled surface chemistries outlined use functionalized coatings, including alkyne-functionalized Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions or aldehyde-functionalized coatings. technology provides flexible access to different chemistries, enabling broad potential applications microfluidics, medical device biotechnology. feature we will highlight recent progress vapor-...
