Abstract
The functionalization of the fibrous scaffolds including drug loading and release is of significance in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Our previous results have shown that the shish-kebab structure-modified fibrous scaffold shows a completely different microenvironment that mimics the topography of the collagen fibers, which interestingly facilitates the cell adhesion and migration. However, the functionalization of the unique structure needs to be further investigated. In this study, we modified the heparin-loaded fiber with a shish-kebab structure and tuned the kebab structure as the barrier for the sustained release of heparin. The introduction of the kebab structure increases the diffusion energy barrier by extending the diffusion distance. Moreover, the discontinued surface topography of the shish-kebab structure altered the surface chemistry from hydrophobic for the original poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers to hydrophilic for the PCL nanofibers with the shish-kebab structure, which might have inhibited the activation of fibrinogen and thus improved the anticoagulant ability. This synergistic effect of heparin and the kebab structure significantly promotes the endothelial cell affinity and antithrombogenicity. This method might be a viable and versatile drug delivery strategy in vascular tissue engineering.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a fiber manufacturing technique with the possibility of encapsulating high levels of small molecule drugs while providing controlled release rates. In this study, electrospun blend fibers were produced from polyethylene oxide (PEO) and ethyl cellulose (EC) at various compositions to encapsulate a poorly water-soluble drug of ibuprofen (IBP) at 30% loading. Microscopic evaluation showed smooth and defect-free fiber morphologies for blank and IBP-loaded PEO/EC fibers. The average fiber diameters and fiber yields suggested a potential optimization on the blend fiber composition for the electrospun drug-eluting PEO/EC fibers, where the highest average fiber diameter and fiber yield occurred at 50PEO/50EC fiber composition. Surface wettability studies demonstrated the effects on surface hydrophobicity from blend fibers of water-soluble PEO and hydrophobic EC as well as the incorporation of IBP. In addition, blend fibers containing more PEO promoted the water absorption rates through dissolution of the polymer matrix. Furthermore, results from mechanical testing of the blend fibers showed the highest fiber elastic modulus and tensile strength at fiber compositions in between 75PEO/25EC and 50PEO/50EC, corresponding to the average fiber diameter measurements. The in vitro IBP release rates demonstrated a dependence on the EC compositions supported by the surface wettability and water absorption rate studies. In general, our work demonstrated the ability to electrospin blank and IBP-loaded PEO/EC fibers with the scientific understandings of EC compositions on modulations of fiber physicomechanical properties and in vitro drug release rates. The findings from the work indicated the potential engineering and pharmaceutical applications of electrospun drug-eluting fibers for topical drug delivery.

Abstract
Device-associated clot formation and poor tissue integration are ongoing problems with permanent and temporary implantable medical devices. These complications lead to increased rates of mortality and morbidity and impose a burden on healthcare systems. In this review, we outline the current approaches for developing single and multi-functional surface coating techniques that aim to circumvent the limitations associated with existing blood-contacting medical devices. We focus on surface coatings that possess dual hemocompatibility and biofunctionality features and discuss their advantages and shortcomings to providing a biocompatible and biodynamic interface between the medical implant and blood. Lastly, we outline the newly developed surface modification techniques that use lubricant-infused coatings and discuss their unique potential and limitations in mitigating medical device-associated complications.

Abstract
"Nonfouling" polymer brush surfaces can greatly improve the performance of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assays due to the reduction of nonspecific protein adsorption and consequent improvement of signal-to-noise ratios. The development of synthetic polymer brush architectures that suppress adventitious protein adsorption is reviewed, and their integration into surface plasmon resonance and fluorescent sandwich immunoassay formats is discussed. Also, highlighted is a novel, self-contained immunoassay platform (the D4 assay) that transforms time-consuming laboratory-based assays into a user-friendly and point-of-care format with a sensitivity and specificity comparable or better than standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) directly from unprocessed samples. These advancements clearly demonstrate the utility of nonfouling polymer brushes as a substrate for ultrasensitive and robust diagnostic assays that may be suitable for clinical testing, in field and laboratory settings.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is widely used to modulate the hydration states of biomaterials and is often applied to produce nonfouling surfaces. Here, we present X-ray scattering data, which show that it is the surface segregation of PEG, not just its presence in the bulk, that makes this happen by influencing the hydrophilicity of PEG-containing substrates. We demonstrate a temperature-dependent trigger that transforms a PEG-containing substrate from a protein-adsorbing to a protein-repelling state. On films of poly(desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine-co-PEG carbonate) with high (20 wt %) PEG content, in which very little protein adsorption is expected, quartz crystal microbalance data showed significant adsorption of fibrinogen and bovine serum albumin at 8 °C. The surface became protein-repellent at 37.5 °C. When the same polymer was iodinated, the polymer was protein-adsorbent, even when 37 wt % PEG was incorporated into the polymer backbone. This demonstrates that high PEG content by itself is not sufficient to repel proteins. By inhibiting phase separation either with iodine or by lowering the temperature, we show that PEG must phase-separate and bloom to the surface to create an antifouling surface. These results suggest an opportunity to design materials with high PEG content that can be switched from a protein-attractant to a protein-repellent state by inducing phase separation through brief exposure to temperatures above their glass transition temperature.

Abstract
For the acquisition of blood-compatible materials, various hydrophilic polymers for surface modification have been examined. Among them, polymers with a representative phospholipid polar group, the phosphorylcholine (PC) group, are a successful example. These polymers were designed from inspiration of the cell membrane surface and provide protein adsorption resistance even following contact with plasma. This important property is based on the unique hydration state of water molecules surrounding hydrated polymer; in other words, water molecules weakly interact with the polymers and maintain their favorable cluster structure through hydrogen bonding. These polymers are not only hydrophilic, but also electrically neutral, important characteristics which make hydrogen bonding with water molecules less likely to occur and avoid hydrophobic interactions. Phosphorylcholine groups and other zwitterionic structures are significant as hydrophilic functional groups meeting these important requirements. In this review, blood compatibility of a polymer having a PC group is introduced in relation to its hydration structure, followed by a description of the applications of this polymer to cardiovascular medical devices.

Abstract
A new family of translucide hydrogels obtained by cross-linking of bifunctionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of various molecular masses (M, 2,000 to 35,000) with an albumin protein, namely bovine serum albumin (BSA), is described. The composition and the structure of these hydrogels have been investigated on the basis of the molar ratio of reagents, and through measurements of PEG and BSA released during washing and swelling steps. It appears that an excess of activated PEG is required in the reaction mixture to allow the gel formation with PEG of molecular mass ranging from 3,350 to 10,000. Above these Mr of PEG, smaller amounts of PEG are needed to carry out the gel formation. Experimental results suggest that the cross-link density decreases when the molecular mass of PEG increases. These hydrogels are characterized by a very high swelling ability with equilibrium water contents (EWC) ranging from 96.6 to 97.5% in distilled water containing NaN3 at 0.02% (w/v). The swelling factors (SF) ranged from 14 to 40 according to the incuba tion medium and to the PEG molecular mass involved. The swelling rates increased with increasing PEG molecular mass used to synthesize the hy drogel. This family of hydrogels possesses a good porosity since diffusion of bovine serum albumin out of the hydrogel network was observed in a long-term period.

Abstract
We demonstrate utilization of star-shaped polymers as high-density polymer brush coatings and their effectiveness to inhibit the adhesion of platelets and bacteria. Star polymers consisting of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and/or poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), were synthesized using living radical polymerization with a ruthenium catalyst. The polymer coatings were prepared by simple drop casting of the polymer solution onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) surfaces and then dried. Among the star polymers prepared in this study, the PHEMA star polymer (star-PHEMA) and the PHEMA/PMMA (mol. ratio of 71/29) heteroarm star polymer (star-H71M29) coatings showed the highest percentage of inhibition against platelet adhesion (78-88% relative to noncoated PET surface) and Escherichia coli (94-97%). These coatings also showed anti-adhesion activity against platelets after incubation in Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline or surfactant solution for 7 days. In addition, the PMMA component of the star polymers increased the scratch resistance of the coating. These results indicate that the star-polymer architecture provides high polymer chain density on PET surfaces to prevent adhesion of platelets and bacteria, as well as coating stability and physical durability to prevent exposure of bare PET surfaces. The star polymers provide a simple and effective approach to preparing anti-adhesion polymer coatings on biomedical materials against the adhesion of platelets and bacteria.

Abstract
We used a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) to quantitatively characterize solid-phase poly(ethylene glycol) modification (PEGylation) of apoferritin that was electrostatically immobilized on the surface of a polyelectrolyte multilayer. The solid-phase PEGylation processes were monitored by analyzing QCM frequency shifts, which showed that the PEG chains were covalently introduced onto the surface of the immobilized apoferritin. We investigated the effect of PEG concentration, PEG molecular weight, and two-dimensional coverage of the immobilized apoferritin on the solid-phase PEGylation process in addition to the surface properties of the PEGylated apoferritin film, such as wettability and protein adsorption capacity. Since the reaction field is more spatially restricted in solid-phase PEGylation than in traditional aqueous-phase PEGylation, this study shows that a ferritin protein cage is potentially useful as a tailored building block, one that has well-defined structures different from the PEGylated ferritin prepared by an aqueous-phase approach.

Abstract
Protein and DNA microarrays hold the promise to revolutionize the field of molecular diagnostics. Traditional microarray applications employ labeled detection strategies based on the use of fluorescent and chemiluminescent secondary antibodies. However, the development of high throughput, sensitive, label-free detection techniques is attracting attention as they do not require labeled reactants and provide quantitative information on binding kinetics. In this article, we will provide an overview of the recent author's work in label and label-free sensing platforms employing silicon/silicon oxide (Si/SiO(2)) substrates for interferometric and/or fluorescence detection of microarrays. The review will focus on applications of Si/SiO(2) with controlled oxide layers to (i) enhance the fluorescence intensity by optical interferences, (ii) quantify with sub-nanometer accuracy the axial locations of fluorophore-labeled probes tethered to the surface, and (iii) detect protein-protein interactions label free. Different methods of biofunctionalization of the sensing surface will be discussed. In particular, organosilanization reactions for monodimensional coatings and polymeric coatings will be extensively reviewed. Finally, the importance of calibration of protein microarrays through the dual use of labeled and label-free detection schemes on the same chip will be illustrated.

Abstract
The ideal wound-healing scaffold should provide the appropriate physical and mechanical properties to prevent secondary infection, as well as an excellent physiological environment to facilitate cell adhesion, proliferation and/or differentiation. Therefore, we developed a synthetic cell-adhesive polypeptide hydrogel with inherent antibacterial activity. A series of polypeptides, poly(Lys)(x)(Ala)(y) (x+y=100), with varied hydrophobicity via metal-free ring-opening polymerization of NCA-Lys(Boc) and NCA-Ala monomers (NCA=N-carboxylic anhydride) mediated by hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) were synthesized. These polypeptides were cross-linked with 6-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG)-amide succinimidyl glutarate (ASG) (M(w)=10K) to form hydrogels with a gelation time of five minutes and a storage modulus (G') of 1400-3000 Pa as characterized by rheometry. The hydrogel formed by cross-linking of poly(Lys)(60)(Ala)(40) (5 wt.%) and 6-arm PEG-ASG (16 wt.%) (Gel-III) exhibited cell adhesion and cell proliferation activities superior to other polypeptide hydrogels. In addition, Gel-III displays significant antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli JM109 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923. Thus, we have developed a novel, cell-adhesive hydrogel with inherent antibacterial activity as a potential scaffold for cutaneous wound healing.

Abstract
The major strategies for designing surfaces that prevent fouling due to proteins, bacteria, and marine organisms are reviewed. Biofouling is of great concern in numerous applications ranging from biosensors to biomedical implants and devices, and from food packaging to industrial and marine equipment. The two major approaches to combat surface fouling are based on either preventing biofoulants from attaching or degrading them. One of the key strategies for imparting adhesion resistance involves the functionalization of surfaces with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or oligo(ethylene glycol). Several alternatives to PEG-based coatings have also been designed over the past decade. While protein-resistant coatings may also resist bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation, in order to overcome the fouling-mediated risk of bacterial infection it is highly desirable to design coatings that are bactericidal. Traditional techniques involve the design of coatings that release biocidal agents, including antibiotics, quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), and silver, into the surrounding aqueous environment. However, the emergence of antibiotic- and silver-resistant pathogenic strains has necessitated the development of alternative strategies. Therefore, other techniques based on the use of polycations, enzymes, nanomaterials, and photoactive agents are being investigated. With regard to marine antifouling coatings, restrictions on the use of biocide-releasing coatings have made the generation of nontoxic antifouling surfaces more important. While considerable progress has been made in the design of antifouling coatings, ongoing research in this area should result in the development of even better antifouling materials in the future.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were covalently immobilized on silicon wafers and gold films by way of the CH insertion reaction of perfluorophenyl azides (PFPAs) by either photolysis or thermolysis. The immobilization does not require chemical derivatization of PEO or PEG, and polymers of different molecular weights were successfully attached to the substrate to give uniform films. Microarrays were also generated by printing polymer solutions on PFPA-functionalized wafer or Au slides followed by light activation. For low molecular weight PEG, the immobilization was highly dependent on the quality of the film deposited on the substrate. While the spin-coated and printed PEG showed poor immobilization efficiency, thermal treatment of the PEG melt on PFPA-functionalized surfaces resulted in excellent film quality, giving, for example, a grafting density of 9.2×10(-4)Å(-2) and an average distance between grafted chains of 33Å for PEG 20,000. The anti-fouling property of the films was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi). Low protein adsorption was observed on thermally-immobilized PEG whereas the photoimmobilized PEG showed increased protein adsorption. In addition, protein arrays were created using polystyrene (PS) and PEG based on the differential protein adsorption of the two polymers.

Abstract
The facile preparation of amphiphilic network coatings having a hydrophobic dimethacryloxy-functionalized perfluoropolyether (PFPE-DMA; M(w) = 1500 g mol(-1)) crosslinked with hydrophilic monomethacryloxy functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) macromonomers (PEG-MA; M(w) = 300, 475, 1100 g mol(-1)), intended as non-toxic high-performance marine coatings exhibiting antifouling characteristics is demonstrated. The PFPE-DMA was found to be miscible with the PEG-MA. Photo-cured blends of these materials containing 10 wt% of PEG-MA oligomers did not swell significantly in water. PFPE-DMA crosslinked with the highest molecular weight PEG oligomer (ie PEG1100) deterred settlement (attachment) of algal cells and cypris larvae of barnacles compared to a PFPE control coating. Dynamic mechanical analysis of these networks revealed a flexible material. Preferential segregation of the PEG segments at the polymer/air interface resulted in enhanced antifouling performance. The cured amphiphilic PFPE/PEG films showed decreased advancing and receding contact angles with increasing PEG chain length. In particular, the PFPE/PEG1100 network had a much lower advancing contact angle than static contact angle, suggesting that the PEG1100 segments diffuse to the polymer/water interface quickly. The preferential interfacial aggregation of the larger PEG segments enables the coating surface to have a substantially enhanced resistance to settlement of spores of the green seaweed Ulva, cells of the diatom Navicula and cypris larvae of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite as well as low adhesion of sporelings (young plants) of Ulva, adhesion being lower than to a polydimethyl elastomer, Silastic T2.

Abstract
We present a method to modify poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF), an injectable biomaterial for bone-tissue-engineering applications, by photo-crosslinking it with methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) monoacrylate (mPEGA) at various mPEGA compositions of 0-30%. The bulk properties such as thermal and rheological properties of uncrosslinked mPEGA/PPF blends and the mechanical properties of photo-crosslinked mPEGA/PPF blends were also investigated and correlated with surface characteristics to elaborate on the modulation of mouse MC3T3 cell adhesion, spreading, proliferation and differentiation through controlled physicochemical properties. Unlike PPF crosslinked with PEG dimethacrylate, mPEGA chains tethered on the surface of crosslinked PPF did not influence the swelling ratio in water while increased surface hydrophilicity greatly. Meanwhile, surface frictional coefficient and the capability of adsorbing proteins from cell culture medium decreased continuously with increasing the mPEGA composition in mPEGA/PPF networks. Demonstrating cell repulsive effect at the mPEGA compositions higher than 7%, the modified surfaces improved MC3T3 cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation, which reached maxima at the mPEGA composition of 5-7%. Besides revealing that mPEGA pendant chains could enhance cell responses by increasing hydrophilicity when their fraction on the hydrophobic surface was small, the present study also offered a new method of improving the wettability and performance of the scaffolds made from PPF for bone repair.

Abstract
This paper describes the formation of protein-resistant, poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (pOEGMA) thin films by helicon plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (helicon-PECVD). pOEGMA was successfully grafted onto a silicon substrate, as a model substrate, without any additional surface initiators, by plasma polymerization of OEGMA. The resulting pOEGMA films were characterized by ellipsometry, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact angle goniometry. To investigate the protein-resistant property of the pOEGMA films, four different proteins, bovine serum albumin, fibrinogen, lysozyme and ribonuclease A, were tested as model proteins for ellipsometric measurements. The ellipsometric thickness change for all the model proteins was less than 3 A, indicating that the formed pOEGMA films are protein-resistant.

Abstract
Many polymeric materials have already been used in the field of artificial organs. However, the materials used in artificial organs are not necessarily created with the best material selectivity and materials design; therefore, the development of synthesized polymeric membrane materials for artificial organs based on well-defined designs is required. The approaches to the development of biocompatible polymeric materials fall into three categories: (1) control of physicochemical characteristics on material surfaces, (2) modification of material surfaces using biomolecules, and (3) construction of biomimetic membrane surfaces. This review will describe current issues regarding polymeric membrane materials for use in artificial organs.

Abstract
Gene therapy, a promising treatment for vascular disease, requires appropriate gene vectors with high gene transfer efficiency, good biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity. To satisfy these requirements from the approach of nonviral vectors, a novel block copolymer, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-block-polycation, carrying ethylenediamine units in the side chain (PEG-b-P[Asp(DET)]) was prepared. PEG-b-P[Asp(DET)] formed a polyplex micelle through polyion complex formation with plasmid DNA (pDNA). The PEG-b-P[Asp(DET)] polyplex micelle showed efficient gene expression with low cytotoxicity against vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro. It also showed reduced interactions with blood components, offering its feasibility of gene delivery via the vessel lumen. To evaluate in vivo gene transfer efficiency for vascular lesions, PEG-b-P[Asp(DET)] micelle was instilled into rabbit carotid artery with neointima by an intravascular method, and expression of the reporter gene in vascular lesions was assessed. Polyplexes from homopolymer P[Asp(DET)] and branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI) were used as controls. Ultimately, only the polyplex micelle showed appreciable gene transfer into vascular lesions without any vessel occlusion by thrombus, which was in strong contrast to BPEI and P[Asp(DET)] polyplexes which frequently showed occlusion with thrombus. These findings suggest that the PEG-b-P[Asp(DET)] polyplex micelle may have promising potential as a nonviral vector for the treatment of vascular diseases.

Abstract
Previous studies from our lab have shown that fibrinogen adsorption (Gamma(Fg)) must be reduced below 10 ng/cm(2) to significantly reduce platelet adhesion, and that radio frequency glow discharge (RFGD) treatment of polymeric films in the presence of tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (tetraglyme) can reduce Gamma(Fg) to the desired ultralow value. In this report, the effects of RFGD coatings of tetraglyme on the lumenal surface of PE tubing on Gamma(Fg) and on blood interactions both in vitro and ex vivo are described. Gamma(Fg) on the tetraglyme-coated PE tubing was reduced to the desired ultralow level (<10 ng/cm(2)), and we also observed a significant decrease in adsorption of von Willebrand's factor. In vitro platelet adhesion from washed platelet suspensions, platelet rich plasma, or whole blood to tetraglyme-coated PE tubing was decreased compared to PE, polyurethane, or silicone rubber tubes. In addition, thrombin generation by platelets adherent to tetraglyme-coated PE was also much less than by platelets adherent to PE. When inserted in an ex vivo carotid artery-carotid artery shunt in sheep, the RFGD tetraglyme-coated PE exhibited a very low number of adherent platelets compared to heparin-coated, chromic acid-etched, or plain PE. The RFGD tetraglyme-coated PE tubes exhibited high protein and platelet resistance in vitro, and high platelet resistance ex vivo. The improved hemocompatibility is attributed to the unique chemical structure of RFGD tetraglyme that makes it highly protein resistant.

Abstract
Plasma-deposited PEG-like films are emerging as promising materials for preventing protein and bacterial attachment to surfaces. To date, there has not been a detailed surface analysis to examine the chemistry and molecular structure of these films as a function of both precursor size and structure. In this paper, we describe radio-frequency plasma deposition of a series of short-chain oligoglymes, dioxane, and crown ethers onto glass cover slips to create poly(ethylene glycol)-like coatings. The resultant films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), dynamic contact angle goniometry, and radiolabeled fibrinogen adsorption. Detailed analysis of the high-mass (120-300 m/z) TOF-SIMS oligoglyme film spectra revealed six classes of significant fragments. Two new models are proposed to describe how these fragments could be formed by distinct film-building processes: incorporation of intact and fragmented precursor molecules. The models also provide for the incorporation of hydrocarbon--a species that is not present in the precursors but is evidenced in XPS C(1s) spectra of these films. Two additional models describe the effects of incorporating intact and fragmented cyclic precursors.

Abstract
Photopolymerization has been widely used for surface micropatterning. The technique often requires photomasks and light sources with appropriate energies or filters. For rapid prototyping of surface photo-micropatterning, we have developed a novel device by modifying a commercially available liquid crystal device projector. In place of the image expansion unit of the projector, we attached an image reduction unit, an adjustable stage, and an optical monitoring unit. The device projected computer-generated images onto surfaces and subjected these patterns to photopolymerization. Micropatterned images can be easily prepared with various software run on personal computers. With the developed photopolymerization device, micropatterning of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was achieved with PEG-diacrylate and a visible light photopolymerization initiator, camphorquinone. Selective cell adhesion control was also achieved on the micropatterned surfaces.

Abstract
Protein adsorption on polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMUs) was evaluated using a combination of synthetic polyelectrolytes and proteins, including serum albumin, fibrinogen, and lysozyme. Variables such as surface and protein charge, polymer hydrophobicity, and hydrophilic repulsion were introduced to probe interaction mechanisms. Quantitative analysis with reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, optical waveguiding, and UV-vis absorption, together with qualitative information from atomic force microscopy, provided a coordinated picture for what drives protein adsorption and how the molecules are disposed on the multilayer surface. It was found that multilayers bearing a particular surface charge sorbed biomolecules if they were of opposite charge, yielding significant loadings within the bulk PEMU. Adsorption of like-charged proteins, as surface aggregates, occurred to a much lower extent, driven by nonelectrostatic forces. A diblock copolymer comprising a hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) block was capable of further minimizing protein adsorption as a result of hydrophilic repulsion, although none of the surfaces tested defeated protein adsorption completely. However, poly(acrylic acid) homopolymer was quite effective in this respect. A composition gradient, formed during multilayer buildup, induced a gradient in hydrophilicity through the PEMU, which is an efficient and economical method of creating a protein-resistant surface.

Abstract
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) surfaces reduce non-specific protein and cell interactions with implanted biomaterials and may improve their biocompatibility. PEO-like polymerized tetraglyme surfaces were made by glow discharge plasma deposition onto fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (FEP) substrates and were shown to adsorb less than 10 ng/cm2 of fibrinogen in vitro. The ability of the polymerized tetraglyme surfaces to resist leukocyte adhesion was studied in vitro and in vivo. Polymerized tetraglyme and FEP were implanted subcutaneously in mice and removed after 1 day or 4 weeks. Histological analysis showed a similar degree of fibrous encapsulation around all of the 4-week implants. Darkly stained wells were present in the fibrous tissues at the tissue-material interface of both FEP and tetraglyme. Scanning electron micrographs showed that in vivo macrophage adhesion to polymerized tetraglyme was much higher than to FEP. After 2-hour contact with heparinized whole blood, polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) adhesion to polymerized tetraglyme was much higher than to FEP, while platelet adhesion to polymerized tetraglyme was lower than to FEP. When PMNs isolated from blood were suspended in 10% autologous plasma, cell adhesion to polymerized tetraglyme was higher than to FEP; however when the cells were suspended in heat inactivated serum, cell adhesion to FEP was higher than to polymerized tetraglyme. The surface chemistry of polymerized tetraglyme did not change after 2-hour blood contact, but displayed nitrogen functional groups after 1-day implantation and became slightly degraded after 4-week implantation. The surface chemistry of FEP did not change significantly after blood contact or implantation. Loosely bound proteins such as fibrinogen on polymerized tetraglyme may contribute to the adhesion of PMNs and macrophages and ultimately to fibrous encapsulation (the foreign body response) around the implants.

Abstract
A tri-block-coupling polymer of stearyl poly(ethylene oxide)-4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate-stearyl poly(ethylene oxide) (MSPEO), was used as a surface modifying additive (SMA) and the MSPEO-modified poly(ether urethane) (PEU) surfaces were prepared by the process of dip-coating. The surface analysis by XPS revealed the surface enrichment of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). On the coating-modified surfaces, the bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption, respectively, from the low and high BSA bulk concentration solutions was correspondingly characterized by the methods of radioactive 125I-probe and ATR-FTIR. The bovine serum fibrinogen (Fg)-adsorption from the Fg bulk solution and the BSA-Fg competing adsorption from the BSA-Fg binary solutions were also characterized by radioactive 125I-probe. The reversible BSA-selective in situ adsorption on MSPEO-modified PEU surfaces were achieved, and the performance of blood compatibility on the coating-modified surfaces was also confirmed, respectively, by plasma recalcification time (PRT) and prothrombin time (PT) tests.

Abstract
A tri-block-coupling polymer, "PEO-MDI-PEO" ["poly(ethylene oxide)-4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate-poly(ethylene oxide)", abbreviated "MPEO"], was used to react with a triazine dye, Cibacron Blue F3G-A (ciba), in an alkaline environment. The product of this nucleophilic reaction was a penta-block-coupling polymer, "ciba-PEO-MDI-PEO-ciba" (abbreviated "cibaMPEO"). The cibaMPEO-modified poly(ether urethane) (PEU) surfaces were prepared by dip-coating and detected by XPS. The surface enrichment of both ciba endgroups and poly(ethylene oxide) spacer-arms was revealed. On the modified surfaces, bovine serum albumin (BSA)-adsorbing experiments were carried out, respectively, in the low and high BSA bulk-concentration solutions, and accordingly, the methods of radioactive (125)I-probe and ATR-FTIR were, respectively, employed for the characterization. The competitive adsorption of BSA and bovine serum fibrinogen (Fg) in the BSA-Fg binary solutions was also studied using a (125)I-probe, and through which the reversibly BSA-selective adsorption on cibaMPEO-modified PEU surfaces was confirmed. Finally, the improvement of blood-compatibility on the modified surfaces was verified by the plasma recalcification time (PRT) test.

Abstract
To optimize the surface biocompatibility of the intravascular catheter, an amphiphilic coupling-polymer of stearyl poly (ethylene oxide) -co- 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate-co- stearyl poly (ethylene oxide), for short MSPEO, was specially designed as the surface modifying additive (SMA). The blend of MSPEO in chitosan was coated on the outer wall of the catheters by the dip-coating method. The surface analysis was carried out by ATR-FTIR and contact angle measurements. The surface enrichment of MSPEO was confirmed. On the water interface, the larger the molecular weight of PEO was, the higher the surface enrichment. While on air interface, the case was the contrary. Three kinds of static test of clotting time, plasma recalcification time (PRT), prothrombin time (PT), and thrombin time (TT), as well as the static platelet adhesion experiment were carried out. The results indicated that the coated surface could resist the clotting effectively. In order to test the blood-compatibility of the coated catheters under a shear of blood flow, the dynamic experiment was performed through a closed-loop tubular system with the shear rate of 1500 s(-1). The results of blood regular testing at six different times (0, 5,10, 20, 30, and 60 min) indicated that the biocompatibility of the coating was nearly ideal. Finally, the SMA-MSPEO was proved to be non-chronic-toxic by animal experiments with rats and suitable as a coating material for clinical use.

Abstract
The chemical structures of water-soluble polymers grafted onto PE surfaces affect platelet function when the platelets contact the polymer surfaces. To improve our understanding of this effect, this study sought to control the blood/materials interaction on the surfaces of polyethylene (PE) by grafting with various water-soluble polymers. Such polymers as poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC), poly(acrylamide) (PAAm), poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVPy), and poly[monomethacryloyl poly(ethylene glycol)] (PMPEG) were grafted on low-density PE sheets by photoinduced graft polymerization. Both the PE bags modified with water-soluble polymers and those nonmodified were prepared by heat processing. Activation of platelets after storage in the PE bags was evaluated by measuring the cytoplasmic free calcium ion concentration ([Ca(2+)]i). The concentration of [Ca(2+)]i of platelets in contact with the PE surface grafted with PMPC was the same as that of native platelets and significantly less than that in contact with other PE surfaces grafted with water-soluble polymers. The number of adherent platelets was effectively decreased on PE surfaces grafted with PMPC and PMPEG, as compared with nontreated PE. The aggregation ability of platelets was also measured after storage of platelet-rich plasma in the PE bags. The PE surface grafted with PMPC effectively maintained aggregation ability as compared with both the nontreated PE and with PE grafted with PAAm, PVPy, and PMPEG. It was concluded that for preserving platelet function, PMPC was the most effective of these water-soluble polymers used for surface modification.

Abstract
Phospholipid polymer, poly[2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC)], was grafted with polyethylene (PE) membrane using photoinduced polymerization technique to make the membrane resistant to cell adhesion. The water contact angle on the PE membrane grafted with poly(MPC) decreased with an increase in the photopolymerization time. This decrease corresponded to the increase in the amount of poly(MPC) grafted on the PE surface. The same graft polymerization procedure was applied using other hydrophilic monomers, such as acrylamide (AAm), N-vinylpyrrolidone (VPy) and methacryloyl poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG). These monomers were also polymerized to form grafted chains on the PE membrane, and the grafting was confirmed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Analysis of amount and distribution of plasma proteins at the plasma-contacting surface of the original and the modified PE membranes were analyzed using immunogold assay. The grafting of poly(MPC) and poly(VPy) on PE membrane reduced the plasma protein adsorption significantly compared with that on the original PE membrane. However, the PE membranes grafted with poly(AAm) or poly(MPEG) did not show any effects on protein adsorption. Platelet adhesion on the original and modified PE membranes from platelet-rich plasma was also examined. A large number of platelets adhered and activated on the original PE membrane. Grafting with poly(AAm) did not suppress platelet adhesion, but grafting with poly(MPC) or poly(VPy) on the PE membrane was effective in preventing platelet adhesion. It is concluded that the introduction of the phosphorylcholine group on the surface could decrease the cell adhesion to substrate polymer.

Abstract
Bacterial infection on implanted medical devices is a significant clinical problem caused by the adhesion of bacteria to the biomaterial surface followed by biofilm formation and recruitment of other cells lines such as blood platelets, leading to potential thrombosis and thromboembolisms. To minimize biofilm formation and potential device-based infections, a polyurethane (Biospan) matrix was developed to release, in a controlled manner, an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) locally at the implant interface. One material set consisted of the polyetherurethane (PEU) base matrix radiofrequency glow discharge plasma deposited with triethylene glycol dimethyl ether (triglyme); the other set had an additional coating of poly(butyl methyacrylate) (pBMA). Triglyme served as a nonfouling coating, whereas the pBMA served as a controlled porosity release membrane. The pBMA-coated PEU contained and released ciprofloxacin in a controlled manner. The efficacy of the modified PEU polymers against Pseudomonas aeruginosa suspensions was evaluated under flow conditions in a parallel plate flow cell. Bacterial adhesion and colonization, if any, to the test polymers were examined by direct microscopic image analysis and corroborated with destructive sampling, followed by direct cell counting. The rate of initial bacterial cell adhesion to triglyme-coated PEU was 0. 77%, and to the pBMA-coated PEU releasing ciprofloxacin was 6% of the observed adhesion rates for the control PEU. However, the rate of adherent cell accumulation due to cell growth and replication was approximately the same for the triglyme-coated PEU and the PEU controls, but was zero for the pBMA-coated PEU releasing ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) has been frequently used to modify biomaterial surfaces for improved biocompatibility. We have used PEO-polybutadiene-PEO triblock copolymer to graft PEO to biomaterials by gamma-irradiation for a total radiation dose of 1 Mrad. The molecular weight of PEO in the block copolymer was 5000. In vitro study showed that fibrinogen adsorption to Silastic, polyethylene, and glass was reduced by 70 to approximately 95% by PEO grafting. On the other hand, the reduction of fibrinogen adsorption was only 30% on expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE). In vitro platelet adhesion study showed that almost no platelets could adhere to PEO-coated Silastic, polyethylene, and glass, while numerous platelet aggregates were found on the ePTFE. The platelet adhesion in vitro corresponded to the fibrinogen adsorption. When the PEO-grafted surfaces were tested ex vivo using a series shunt in a canine model, the effect of the grafted PEO was not noticeable. Platelet deposition on ePTFE was reduced by PEO grafting from 8170 +/- 1030 to 5100 +/- 460 platelets 10(-3) microm2, but numerous thrombi were still present on the PEO-grafted surface. The numbers of platelets cumulated on Silastic, polyethylene, and glass were 100 +/- 80, 169 +/- 35, and 24 +/- 22 platelets 10(-3) microm2, respectively. This is about 35% reduction in platelet deposition by PEO grafting. While the numbers of deposited platelets were small, the decreases were not as large as those expected from the in vitro study. This may be due to a number of reasons which have to be clarified in future studies, but it appears that in vitro platelet adhesion and fibrinogen adsorption studies may not be a valuable predictor for the in vivo or ex vivo behavior of the PEO-grafted surfaces.

Abstract
Four types of hydrophilic gel microcapsules containing water have been prepared by an interfacial polymerization method. Each type of microcapsules has membranes of different compositions. Using three kinds of monomers, N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAAm), 4-aminomethylstyrene (AmSt), and N,N-dimethylaminopropylacrylamide (DMAPAA), two types of water-soluble copolymers with different compositions having primary and tertiary amino groups were obtained. Two more types of copolymers were synthesized by copolymerization of alpha-acryloxy-omega-methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) (a-PEG) with the above two kinds of monomer mixtures. These copolymers were polymerized with terephthaloyldichloride at the water/oil interface to prepare four types of microcapsules containing water. By electrophoretic mobility measurements of these microcapsules and the analyses of the data, it was found that the surface layer of the microcapsule membranes were composed of two sublayers, each of which has different charge density and softness. The outer sublayer was negatively charged and inner sublayer was positively charged. By PEGylation, the charge density in the outer sublayer decreased, while that in the inner sublayer was not affected. Also, the surface layer became softer by PEGylation. The effects of membrane composition upon the swellability of the microcapsule membrane were studied. It was found that the asymmetrical structure of the microcapsule membranes causes the nonuniform distribution of charges and then the swellability of the microcapsule membrane changes depending on the permittivity of the dispersing medium.
