PEO–PPO–PEO triblocks were chain extended by reacting them with HDI, whereby longer polyether urethane chains were formed. The long thermoresponsive chains produced (P-F127) were then tethered to the PET surface, following the procedure used to graft the shorter F127 triblocks. The thermo...
An increase in the PPO block size of the copolymer also appears to increase its protein resistance. This work further confirms that the binding strength of the anchoring block to the hydrophobic surface, rather than the length of the protruding hydrophillic PEO chains, determines a copolymer's...
