Additional information

This paper reports for the first time plasma induced chemical grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) onto polymer surfaces using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operating at atmospheric pressure in air. The specific conditions necessary to create a PEGMA layer with a “brush” type configuration, as evident by a complete resistance to protein adsorption have been identified. This work originated from the EPSRC Grand Challenge award EPSRC (EP/C534247/1) - “Regenerative Medicine – A New Industry (Remedi)” which was a collaboration between the Universities of Loughborough, Nottingham, Ulster, Cambridge, Birmingham and Liverpool.
