Project Summary
We are developing advanced nanostructured coatings with antibiofouling properties for wearable and implantable medical devices to help them work better, and last longer in the body. We have introduced a novel, cost-effective synthesis method for nanostructured hydrogel coatings that resist protein adsorption and bacterial colonization. These materials offer tunable surface properties, excellent in vivo durability, and are compatible with diverse device architectures. We are also engineering multifunctional coatings with anti-coagulant and omniphobic properties to enhance device integration and safety.
