A method to produce a hydrogel by covalently coupling dextran polysaccharide to silicon and silicon rubber surfaces is de- scribed. A bifunctional epoxysilane was used as coupling mediator and the conditions for the reaction were optimized. Coupling of the silane to silicon rubber was possible only

While most organometallics enter the environment through their industrial release, silicones are organometallic compounds purposefully introduced in high volume directly into healthy humans. A chemically centered study of the behavior of silicones in the biological environment reveals numerous degra
The surface of implantable biomaterials is in direct contact with the host tissue and plays a critical role in determining biocompatibility. In order to improve the integration of implants, it is desirable to control interfacial reactions such that nonspecific adsorption of proteins is minimized and
