Grafting of collagen onto interpenetrating polymer networks of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and poly(dimethyl siloxane) polymer films for biomedical applications

Poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) films were modified using poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) by sequential method of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs). Collagen (type I) was also linked onto the modified films via methyl sulfonyl chloride. Collagen reacted with the activated groups to o...
