An aqueous-based process is reported for surface functionalization and grafting of anticoagulant and cell attachment moieties, such as heparin and/or arginine-glycine- aspartate (RGD) onto the lumenal surface of a prefabricated cardiovascular graft (5 mm i.d.) made of poly(carbonate- urea)urethane (

β¦ Synopsis
The aim of this work is to prepare a pH sensing device working in a differential arrangement between an ISFET and a REFET. Two types of insulator surfaces have been tested: the pH sensitivity of silica is 36 mV pH_' and that of the PECVD silicon oxynitride is nernstian. The grafting of these surfaces with long-alkyl-chain silanes has taken place. The surface preparation must be well controlled in order to obtain dense, grafted, long-alkyl-chain monolayers on both insulators. The pH sensitivity of grafted silica depends on the chain length; it is 10 mV pH_' for C22 grafted silica. For a silicon oxynitride with a surface density of =SiNH/NH, groups of 2.6 nm-', the pH sensitivity of the Cl8 grafted surface is 15 mV pH_'. PECVD silicon oxynitride seems to be well adapted as a new insulator for pH ISFETs.
