Project Overview

To form PEG macromer-based hydrogels on biomaterial surfaces in an interfacial photopolymerization process and to screen the coatings for interactions with cells and media that mimic physiologic fluids. It is hypothesized that these coatings will resist fouling and may be useful for implantable devices.
