Talk Title: Engineered Biointerfaces: From Switchable Surfaces to Multifunctional Polymer Coatings
Series: Lyman L. Handy Colloquium Series
Abstract: Our improved understanding of molecular biology, microfabrication, and materials chemistry has stimulated crossfertilization of chemistry, biotechnology and materials engineering. In my presentation, I will discuss current advances in the design of multifunctional biomaterials including three distinct examples under research in the Lahann group: (i) Switchable surfaces that can reversibly alter properties in response to an external stimulus, i.e., application of a weak electric field, have been designed and synthesized based on self-assembled monolayers [1]. (ii) Reactive coatings with one or multiple functions can be synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization [2,3] as well as CVD co-polymerization and may find use in a range of different biomedical applications [4,5].
