Biopolymer surface graft polymerization

Surface Graft Polymerization of Proteins Polypeptide chains contain free carboxyUc and amine residues at their isoelectric point. These residues are mostly responsible for the polarity of polypeptides and their inclination toward chemical reactions. In addition, presence of sulfur and hydroxyl residues provides active sites for crosslinking reactions by these biopolymers. Peptide bonds are under normal conditions... 

Plasma Grafting The plasma-enhanced CVD technique used for in situ polymerization is similar to the ordinary CVD technique, with the exception of using oxidative plasma instead of impregnation with an oxidant. The process is devised for a thin and highly pure deposition of ECPs on the surface of biopolymers. Creation of monomer radicals, through ionization of vaporized monomers by exposure to a...
