✦ Synopsis

A general method was developed for the covalent functionalization of natural rubber latex with fluorinated phenyl azides. Surface functionalization was carried out in either aqueous or organic solvents. The use of poly(ethylene glycol) and hyaluronic acid resulted in biocompatible coatings that prevented proteins from leaching out of the latex. Latex functionalized under aqueous conditions retained their physical properties after storing at room temperature for 1 year.
