Abstract

Reactive polymer coatings were synthesized via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization process. These coatings decouple surface design from bulk properties of underlying materials and provide a facile and general route to support thiol-ene and thiol-yne reactions on a variety of substrate materials. Through the reported technique, surface functions can be activated through a simple design of thiol-terminated molecules such as polyethylene glycols (PEGs) or peptides (GRGDYC), and the according biological functions were demonstrated in controlled and low-fouling protein adsorptions as well as accurately manipulated cell attachments.
