  • Polymer Nanofilm Coatings
    Publication number: 20130004560
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are nanofilm coatings for implantable medical devices comprising a diblock or triblock copolymer (PEO-PMMA or PMOXA-PDMS-PMOXA, respectively). Such nanofilms, may be used, for example, as amphiphilic supports for therapeutic agents. These materials are conducive towards the formation of active substrates for a suite of biological and medical applications.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 11, 2012
    Publication date: January 3, 2013
    Applicants: The Regents of the University of California, Northwestern University
    Inventors: Dean Ho, Mark Chen, Erik Pierstorff, Houjin Huang, Edward K. Chow, Genhong Cheng
