DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202202096
Abstract: Constructing multifunctional surfaces is one of the practical approaches to address catheter‐related multiple complications but is generally time‐consuming and substrate‐dependent. Herein, a novel anti‐adhesion, antibacterial, low friction, and robustness coating on medical catheters are developed… read more here.
