Abstract: Abstract Cationic ROMP-polymers bearing ammonium or phosphonium groups were photo-grafted onto a PDMS surface via the thiol-ene click reaction, in the presence of benzophenone. The PDMS surface was first thiolated using pentaerythritol tetrakis (3-mercaptopropionate) (PTTMP)… read more here.

Abstract: Textured biomaterials have been extensively used in biomedical engineering to modulate mammalian and bacterial cell adhesion and proliferation, implant integration with human body and infection prevention. However, the tribological implications of texturing under wet physiological… read more here.
