TL;DR: The superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles of ∼12 nm were surface-functionalized with poly(DL-lactic acid-co-malic acid) copolymer (PLMA) via a nanoprecipitation method and can be potentially useful as magnetic resonance probes for targeting and tracking macrophages.

TL;DR: The zwitterionic SBCD- and hydrophilic CDP-functionalized Ti(oxide) surfaces can reduce the adsorption of bovine plasma fibrinogen and adhesion of Escherichia coli, as compared to the pristine and guest molecules-anchored Ti( oxide) surfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of surface graft copolymerization with various monomers, such as N,N′-dimethyl(methacryloylethyl)ammonium propanesulfonate (DMAPS), sodium salt of styrenesulfonic acid (NaSS), 1-vinyl imidazole (VIDz) and acrylic acid (AAc), was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a surface thermal graft copolymerization with concurrent lamination was carried out between two argon plasma-pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films in the presence of aqueous zwitterionic solutions of N,N-dimethyl-N-methacrylamidopropyl-N-(3-sulfopric)ammonium betain (DMASAB), DMAPS, and 1-(3)-SVPB), under atmospheric conditions and in the complete absence of an added

TL;DR: In this paper, surface modified and functionalized polyaniline (PANi) and polypyrrole (PPY) films from ozone treatment, Ar plasma treatment, near-UV-light induced graft copolymerization with acrylic acid(AAc), and covalent immobilization of the enzyme trypsin were characterized by angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
