Abstract excerpt
Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were designed to resist materials fouling caused by non-specific protein adsorption, and indiscriminate cell or bacterial adhesion. These IPNs were thin adherent films (approximately 20 nm) comprised of acrylamide (AAm), ethylene glycol (EG), and acrylic a...
