Surface modification of silicone for biomedical applications requiring long-term antibacterial, antifouling, and hemocompatible properties

Silicone has been used for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters for several decades. However, bacteria, platelets, proteins, and other biomolecules tend to adhere to its hydrophobic surface, which may lead to PD outflow failure, serious infection, or even death. In this work, a cross-linked poly(poly(...
