TL;DR: A biomimetic surface modification of graphite using oligosaccharide surfactant polymers, which, like a glycocalyx, provides a dense and confluent layer of oligosACcharides, is effective in suppressing protein adsorption from human plasma protein solution.

TL;DR: The data reveal that the morphologies and optical properties of the aromatic cyclo-dipeptide self-assemblies can be tuned, making them potential candidates for supramolecular quantum confined materials providing biocompatible alternatives for broad biomedical and opto-electric applications.

TL;DR: A series of novel surfactant polymers, poly(N-vinyldextran aldonamide-co-Nvinylhexanamide) (PNVDA-co,PNVH), were synthesized, and characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy Structurally well-defined poly(vinylamine) was prepared by hydrolysis of poly(n-vinylformamide), which was obtained by free radical polymerization of N-vinellformamide Dextran molecules (Mw = 1600) were attached to poly

TL;DR: Protein- and platelet-resistant properties of the controlled oligomaltose layers are discussed by analysis of molecular modeling, oligomALTose and hexanoyl chain densities, and surfactant stability.

TL;DR: In this paper, N-alkylmaltonamide nonionic diblock surfactants of varying hydrophobic segment lengths were synthesized, and their surface active properties on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite were characterized by atomic force microscopy.
