Abstract

Poly(zwitterions) polymer brushes were fabricated by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) on PVA substrate. The results of XPS and FTIR proved the successful graft of CBMA and SBMA to PVA. The surface of the PVA films would be rougher after the functionalization. Its hydrophilicity increased dramatically and the water contact angle decreased from 45.2° to 7.2°. The visible light transmittance was above 88%. Mechanical properties decreased slightly after grafting, the tensile strength and tensile strain at break were in 1.23-1.85 MPa and 361.7-471.1%, respectively. The anti-protein adsorption performance of the modified PVA film was significantly enhanced and the lowest adsorption amount was up to 2.25 μg/cm2. The cytotoxicity grade of modified PVA film was 0-1, which indicated the modified film possessed no cytotoxicity. Additionally, the surface of zwitterion-grafted PVA film had strongly resistance to cell adhesion. All the results confirmed that the zwitterions modified PVA was a promising anti-fouling material for the further biomedical use.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
