  • Methof for Producing a Thiol Functionalised Coating
    Publication number: 20090311555
    Abstract: A method is provided for applying a reactive thiol containing coating to a substrate. The method includes subjecting the substrate to a plasma discharge in the presence of a compound of formula (I) or formula (Ia): where X is an optionally substituted straight or branched alkylene chain(s) or aryl group(s); R1, R2 or R3 are optionally substituted hydrocarbyl or heterocyclic groups, and m is an integer greater than 0; Rn is a number of optionally substituted hydrocarbyl or heterocyclic groups, where n is 0-5.

  • Method for Producing, and a Substrate with, a Surface with Specific Characteristics
    Publication number: 20090286435
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of rendering the surface of a substrate, or at least part of the substrate, to have increased protein resistance. This is achieved by applying an n-substituted glyconic derivative onto the surface of the substrate, or areas or domains of the substrate surface, to allow the pattern resistance to be changed in those areas where the material is applied. In one embodiment the deposition is performed in or in conjunction with a plasma.
