Towards a biocompatible artificial lung: Covalent functionalization of poly(4-methylpent-1-ene) (TPX) with cRGD pentapeptide

Covalent multistep coating of poly(methylpentene), the membrane material in lung ventilators, by using a copper-free “click” approach with a modified cyclic RGD peptide, leads to a highly biocompatible poly(methylpentene) surface. The resulting modified membrane preserves the required excellent gas-...
