Abstract
Notably, antibiofouling is an important and predominant technique adopted to improve the surfaces of biomaterials. In this study, polyethylene glycol-grafted polyethylene glycols bearing azidophenyl groups were synthesized and immobilized on polystyrene surfaces via photoirradiation. The prepared polymers were found to be highly soluble in water, and photoimmobilization with fluorescent proteins was confirmed based on micropatterning using a photomask. These polymers suppressed nonspecific interactions between proteins and cells on the substrate. Considering that photoimmobilization can be adopted for the covalent bond modification of various surfaces, the developed water-soluble and highly antibiofouling polymers appear to be useful in biomaterial preparation.

Abstract
Minimizing the foreign body reaction to polyimide-based implanted devices plays a pivotal role in several biomedical applications. In this work, we propose materials exhibiting nonbiofouling properties and a Young's modulus reflecting that of soft human tissues. We describe the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro validation of poly(carboxybetaine) hydrogel coatings covalently attached to polyimide substrates via a photolabile 4-azidophenyl group, incorporated in poly(carboxybetaine) chains at two concentrations of 1.6 and 3.1 mol %. The presence of coatings was confirmed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. White light interferometry was used to evaluate the coating continuity and thickness (between 3 and 6 μm under dry conditions). Confocal laser scanning microscopy allowed us to quantify the thickness of the swollen hydrogel coatings that ranged between 13 and 32 μm. The different hydrogel formulations resulted in stiffness values ranging from 2 to 19 kPa and led to different fibroblast and macrophage responses in vitro. Both cell types showed a minimum adhesion on the softest hydrogel type. In addition, both the overall macrophage activation and cytotoxicity were observed to be negligible for all of the tested material formulations. These results are a promising starting point toward future advanced implantable systems. In particular, such technology paves the way for novel neural interfaces able to minimize the fibrotic reaction, once implanted in vivo, and to maximize their long-term stability and functionality.

Abstract
Commercially available azo dyes bearing amino groups were grafted to zwitterionic copolymers composed of cyclic anhydride functionality. The zwitterionic copolymers were prepared for the first time by polymerizing sulfobetaine (SB) monomer with maleic anhydride (MA) under conventional free radical polymerization as well as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Poly(SB- co-MA) self-assembled in deionized water. Azobenzene grafted zwitterionic poly((SB- co-MA)- g-Azo) exhibited multiresponsive behavior. As confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy, trans → cis isomerization of the azo group was responsible for the photo- and thermal responsive behavior. The photoisomerization was reversible, and no photoaging was detected during the repeated exposure to UV and visible light. The water-soluble nature of photoresponsive azo dye grafted copolymers makes it suitable for applications in biological systems.

Abstract
Drug-eluting medical devices are designed to improve the primary function of the device and at the same time offer local release of drugs which otherwise might find it difficult to reach the insertion/implantation site. The incorporation of the drug enables the tuning of the host/microbial responses to the device and the management of device-related complications. On the other hand, the medical device acts as platform for the delivery of the drug for a prolonged period of time just at the site where it is needed and, consequently, the efficacy and the safety of the treatment, as well as its cost-effectiveness are improved. This chapter begins with an introduction to the combination products and then focuses on the techniques available (compounding, impregnation, coating, grafting of the drug or of polymers that interact with it) to endow medical devices with the ability to host drugs/biological products and to regulate their release. Furthermore, the methods for surface modification with stimuli-responsive polymers or networks are analyzed in detail and the performance of the modified materials as drug-delivery systems is discussed. A wide range of chemical-, irradiation- and plasma-based techniques for grafting of brushes and networks that are sensitive to changes in temperature, pH, light, ionic strength or concentration of certain biomarkers, from a variety of substrate materials, is currently available. Although in vivo tests are still limited, such a surface functionalization of medical devices has already been shown useful for the release on-demand of drugs and biological products, being switchable on/off as a function of the progression of certain physiological or pathological events (e.g. healing, body integration, biofouling or biofilm formation). Improved knowledge of the interactions among the medical device, the functionalized surface, the drug and the body are expected to pave the way to the design of drug-eluting medical devices with optimized and novel performances.

Abstract
Poly(3-dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl)ammonium propane sulfonate) (poly(DMAPS)) zwitterionic brushes were grafted onto the polycarbonateurethane (PCU) surface to improve its hydrophilicity and hemocompatibility by Ultraviolet (UV) polymerization. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle were used to characterize the chemical and physical properties of the modified PCU surface. DMAPS-grafted PCU films showed significantly high hydrophilicity owing to the high hydrophilic poly(DMAPS) zwitterionic brushes. The cytotoxicity tests revealed the sulfoammonium zwitterionic brushes modified PCU film had good cytocompatibility. In addition, the hemocompatibility of the modified PCU films was evaluated by hemolytic tests and platelet adhesion tests. The PCU films modified with zwitterionic brushes had a lower hemolytic index, showed effective resistance to platelet adhesion. Due to the fact that sulfoammonium zwitterionic brushes can improve the hemocompatibility of the PCU surface, this gives rise to its potential application as blood-contacting materials or devices.

Abstract
Poly(2-(dimethylaminoethyl) methacrylate) (pDMAEMA) was grafted to low density polyethylene (LDPE) and silicone rubber (SR) in order to make them less susceptible to microbial biofilm formation. The direct grafting of DMAEMA using γ-rays was an efficient and fast procedure for obtaining modified materials, which could be quaternized in a second step using methyl iodide. Raman spectroscopy showed that the grafting occurred only at the surface of the LDPE, but both at the surface and in the bulk of the SR. Consequently, the grafted chains caused changes in the surface-related features of the LDPE (water contact angle and viscoelastic behavior in the dry state) and in the bulk-related properties of the SR (swelling and viscoelasticity in the swollen state). The microbiological assays revealed that the grafted DMAEMA reduced Candida albicans biofilm formation (almost no biofilm on SR), while the quaternized surfaces inhibited C. albicans and Staphylococcus aureus biofilm by more than 99% compared to pristine materials. Modified LDPE and SR were capable of holding considerable amounts of nalidixic acid, an anionic antimicrobial drug, and sustained the release for several hours. In addition, the grafted materials were cytocompatible (fibroblast cell survival > 70%). In conclusion, these materials have the ability to inhibit microbial biofilm formation and at the same time act as drug-eluting systems, and for that reason may hold great promise for anti-biofouling applications.
