PAcrAm-g-(PEG, Amine, Silane)
PAcrAm-g-(PEG, amine, silane) is a random graft co-polymer with a poly(acrylamide) backbone, on which different side-chains have been reacted: poly(ethylene glycol) to impart non-fouling properties, and a combination of amine and silane binding groups for strong adherence onto silicon oxide and glass substrates. The mixture of the two (reversible and irreversible) binding groups enables a simple dip-and-rinse water-based coating procedure, as well as offering a unique coating stability in the presence of high salt concentrations, and high and low pH conditions, and commonly used surfactants. This enables the coatings to maintain their non-fouling character throughout the entire lifetime of the substrate.
