Recent development of antifouling polymers: structure, evaluation, and biomedical applications in nano/micro‐structures

Abstract: Antifouling polymers have been proven to be vital to many biomedical applications such as medical implants, drug delivery, and biosensing. This review covers the major development of antifouling polymers in the last 2 decades, including the material chemistry, structural factors important to antifouling properties, and how to challenge or evaluate the antifouling performances. We then discuss the applications of antifouling polymers in nano/micro-biomedical applications in the form of nanoparticles, thin coati… Show more

“…Almost all NPs that are administrated systematically are coated with electrically neutral hydrophobic surface layers called a "stealth coating" which extends the half-life of NPs to >40 h (Moghimi et al, 2001). Administration of NPs via intradermal or subcutaneous injection showed a different distribution depending on the absence or presence of coatings (Hirai et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2014). The degree of NPs coating plays an important factor in reaching targeted tissues (Liu et al, 2014).…”

“…Administration of NPs via intradermal or subcutaneous injection showed a different distribution depending on the absence or presence of coatings (Hirai et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2014). The degree of NPs coating plays an important factor in reaching targeted tissues (Liu et al, 2014). For instance, poly (ethylene) glycol (PEG)-coated NPs reaches the lymphatic vessels and their circulatory system faster than free injected NPs (Liu et al, 2014;Iannazzo et al, 2017).…”
