Immobilizing Surfaces

Immobilizing Surfaces

Co-assembly of ‘smart’ stimuli-responsive surfaces for the reversible immobilization of species on emulsion-templated porous polymers is described by Neil Cameron and co-workers in a recently published Communication in Advanced Materials. Therein, they describe the preparation and polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol)ylated monomers using high internal phase emulsion techniques. The controllable, reversible immobilization of biomolecules on these smart surfaces is demonstrated. The work represents an exciting and timely development that should lead to the development of biocompatible surfaces for low-cost, straight-forward immobilization of, for example, enzymes or DNA for biotechnological applications.
