Polymer Brushes via Surface-Initiated Controlled Radical Polymerization: Synthesis, Characterization, Properties, and Applications
Raphael Barbey,Laurent Lavanant,Dusko Paripovic,Nicolas Schüwer,Caroline Sugnaux,Stefano Tugulu,Harm-Anton Klok +6 more
TL;DR: This data indicates that self-Assembled Monolayers and Walled Carbon Nanotubes with high adhesion to Nitroxide-Mediated Polymerization have potential in the well-Defined Polymer Age.

RGD-Functionalized polymer brushes as substrates for the integrin specific adhesion of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
TL;DR: The feasibility of surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization to prepare thin polymer layers ("brushes") that can be functionalized with short peptide ligands and which may be of use as coatings to promote endothelialization of blood-contacting biomaterials is demonstrated.

Stability and nonfouling properties of poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) brushes under cell culture conditions.
Stefano Tugulu,Harm-Anton Klok +1 more
TL;DR: The stability and nonfouling properties of PPEGMA brushes prepared by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization from SiO(x) substrates modified with a trimethoxysilane-based ATRP initiator could be improved by appropriate decrease of the grafting density.

Protein-Functionalized Polymer Brushes
TL;DR: A new strategy for the preparation of protein-functionalized polymer brushes is reported, which is based on a combination of surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), p-nitrophenyl chloroformate activation of the surface hydroxyl groups, and subsequent O(6)-benzylguanine (BG) functionalization.
