Tending towards Non-fouling: A study of the interaction between proteins and surfaces prepared by radio frequency glow-discharge plasma
… we explore radio frequency (RF) glow-discharge plasma technology as a method of creating non-fouling surfaces. We achieve this through two distinct strategies: a) prepare a highly-reactive surface initiators that could be used to grow HEMA polymer brushes via SI-ARGET ATRP, and b) create novel …
