In recent years, focus has moved to the use of living radical polymerization techniques such as atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) for the production of well-defined polymer coatings. Both the grafting from and grafting to approaches have been explored for the attachment of MPC-based polymers onto a variety of substrates. Grafting from requires the incorporation of initiator sites onto the biomaterial surface prior to the polymerization reaction. This usually involves a series of... [Pg.192]
