In vitro evaluation of phosphonylated low-density polyethylene for vascular applications.
Published in International Journal of Biomedical Materials Research
The use of catheters for vascular applications is often complicated by the development of friction between the catheter material and the vessel wall, which leads to endothelial cell removal and intimal lesions. Phosphonylation, a chemical surface treatment, has been proposed as a means of increasing the hydrophilicity of low-density polyethylene (L...
Novel osteoblast-adhesive peptides for dental/orthopedic biomaterials.
Published in International Journal of Biomedical Materials Research
Next generation dental/orthopedic biomaterials must be designed to enhance and support osteoblast adhesion. The osteoblasts use different ways to adhere, that is, integrin- and proteoglycan-mediated mechanisms. The present study reports on the synthesis and osteoblast-adhesive properties of peptides carrying RGD motifs and of sequences mapped on hu...
Micropatterning of Biomedical Polymer Surfaces by Novel UV Polymerization Techniques
Published in International Journal of Biomedical Materials Research
The "living" radical polymerization with an iniferter was used to create micropatterned biomedical surfaces. Novel, photosensitive biomedical polymers were created by the incorporation of dithiocarbamate groups from iniferters. A second monomer layer was then irradiated onto the photosensitive polymer substrate created with the iniferter to form a ...
