Abstract
It is becoming increasingly important to synthesize efficient biomacromolecule lubricants suitable for medical devices. Even though the development of biomimetic lubricants has made great progress, the current system suitable for hydrophobic silicone-based medical devices is highly limited. In this work, we synthesize one kind of novel polysaccharide-derived macromolecule lubricant of chitosan (CS) grafted polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains and catechol groups (CT) (CS-g-PEG-g-CT). CS-g-PEG-g-CT shows good adsorption ability by applying quantitative analysis of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and confocal fluorescence imaging technique, as well as the typical shear-thinning feature. CS-g-PEG-g-CT exhibits low and stable coefficients of friction (COFs) (0.01-0.02) on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces at a wide range of mass concentrations in diverse media including pure water, physiological saline, and PBS buffer solution and is even tolerant to various normal loads and sliding frequencies for complex pressurizing or shearing environments. Subsequently, systematic surface characterizations are used to verify the dynamic attachment ability of the CS-g-PEG-g-CT lubricant on the loading/shearing process. The lubrication mechanism of CS-g-PEG-g-CT can be attributed to the synergy of strong adsorption from catechol groups to form a uniform assembly layer, excellent hydration effect from PEG chains, and typical shear-thinning feature to dissipate viscous resistance. Surprisingly, CS-g-PEG-g-CT exhibits efficient lubricity on silicone-based commercial contact lenses and catheters. The current macromolecule lubricant demonstrates great real application potential in the fields of medical devices and disease treatments.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
To meet the requirement in the application of medical devices, composites, biomaterials, corrosion resistance, and selective adsorptions, rubber surface modification is usually indispensable. Grafting treatment is one of most significate treatment methods. In this paper, we focus on rubber surface grafting modification, including grafting techniques and applications. Different grafting methods—including monomer grafting polymerization and coupling reaction—are covered and compared briefly. The related applications of surface grafting modification techniques, such as improving compatibility of waste rubber as fillers, hydrophobicity and lipophilicity of sponge rubber for oil–water separation, biocompatibility of rubber in the medical field, and forming surface patterns, are demonstrated in detail. The new research directions of surface grafting techniques as well as main challenges in application are also discussed.

Abstract
Slippery and hydrophilic surfaces find critical applications in areas as diverse as biomedical devices, microfluidics, antifouling, and underwater robots. Existing methods to achieve such surfaces rely mostly on grafting hydrophilic polymer brushes or coating hydrogel layers, but these methods suffer from several limitations. Grafted polymer brushes are prone to damage and do not provide sufficient mechanical compliance due to their nanometer-scale thickness. Hydrogel coatings are applicable only for relatively simple geometries, precluding their use for the surfaces with complex geometries and features. Here, a new method is proposed to interpenetrate hydrophilic polymers into the surface of diverse polymers with arbitrary shapes to form naturally integrated "hydrogel skins." The hydrogel skins exhibit tissue-like softness (Young's modulus ≈ 30 kPa), have uniform and tunable thickness in the range of 5-25 µm, and can withstand prolonged shearing forces with no measurable damage. The hydrogel skins also provide superior low-friction, antifouling, and ionically conductive surfaces to the polymer substrates without compromising their original mechanical properties and geometry. Applications of the hydrogel skins on inner and outer surfaces of various practical polymer devices including medical tubing, Foley catheters, cardiac pacemaker leads, and soft robots on massive scales are further demonstrated.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a type of thermoprocessable and biodegradable polyester, which represent a potential sustainable replacement for fossil-fuel synthetic polymers, such as polypropylene and polyethylene. In recent years, copolymers of PHAs, i.e., poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), have received attention for medical and packaging industrial applications, due to their biodegradable, toxic-free, and biocompatible nature. This study investigated and characterized plasma-treated PHB and PHBV films fermented with Ralstonia eutropha H16. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle analyses on the plasma-treated PHB and PHBV film surfaces revealed an increase in the number of functional groups and contact angle degree, respectively, compared to that of the untreated films. In addition, an in vitro experiment of mouse adipose-derived stem cells showed better growth and adhesion of the cells on the surface of plasma-treated PHBV film. Overall, these results reveal that plasma surface modifications are useful in biomaterial development.

Abstract
Catheter associated urinary tract infections are the most common health related infections worldwide, contributing significantly to patient morbidity and mortality and increased health care costs. To reduce the incidence of these infections, new materials that resist bacterial biofilm formation are needed. A composite catheter material, consisting of bulk poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) coated with a novel bacterial biofilm resistant polyacrylate [ethylene glycol dicyclopentenyl ether acrylate (EGDPEA)-co-di(ethyleneglycol) methyl ether methacrylate (DEGMA)], has been proposed. The coated material shows excellent bacterial resistance when compared to commercial catheter materials, but delamination of the EGDPEA-co-DEGMA coatings under mechanical stress presents a challenge. In this work, the use of oxygen plasma treatment to improve the wettability and reactivity of the PDMS catheter material and improve adhesion with the EGDPEA-co-DEGMA coating has been investigated. Argon cluster three dimensional-imaging time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) has been used to probe the buried adhesive interface between the EGDPEA-co-DEGMA coating and the treated PDMS. ToF-SIMS analysis was performed in both dry and frozen-hydrated states, and the results were compared to mechanical tests. From the ToF-SIMS data, the authors have been able to observe the presence of PDMS, silicates, salt particles, cracks, and water at the adhesive interface. In the dry catheters, low molecular weight PDMS oligomers at the interface were associated with poor adhesion. When hydrated, the hydrophilic silicates attracted water to the interface and led to easy delamination of the coating. The best adhesion results, under hydrated conditions, were obtained using a combination of 5 min O2 plasma treatment and silane primers. Cryo-ToF-SIMS analysis of the hydrated catheter material showed that the bond between the primed PDMS catheter and the EGDPEA-co-DEGMA coating was stable in the presence of water. The resulting catheter material resisted Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis biofilm colonization by up to 95% compared with uncoated PDMS after 10 days of continuous bacterial exposure and had the mechanical properties necessary for use as a urinary catheter.

Abstract
AbstractNon-equilibrium plasma makes it is possible to modify surface chemistry, synthetize polymer materials, and oxidize some organic compounds completely by generation of energetic and chemically active species in gas or liquid phases. Glow-discharge electrolysis plasma (GDEP) has been intensely studied for applications in chemistry and in material, environmental, and biomedical engineering during the last few years because of the very highly active chemical species produced during the glow-discharge electrolysis (GDE) process. A brief review is already available regarding applications of glow-discharge electrolysis plasma technique in chemistry and environmental science during the past decade. For convenience of discussion, some papers from prior years are also cited. The contents of this review are focused on the degradation of persistent pollutants, surface modification of materials, and preparation of functional polymers.

Abstract
Surface modification and providing antibacterial properties to the materials or devices are getting great attention especially in the last decades. In this study, polyurethane (PU) films were prepared by synthesizing them in medical purity from toluene diisocyanate and polypropylene ethylene glycol without using any other ingredients and then the film surfaces were modified by covalent immobilization of chitosan (CH) which has antibacterial activity. CH immobilized PU films (PU-CH) were found to be more hydrophilic than control PU films. Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analyses showed higher nitrogen contents and rougher surface topography for PU-CH compared to PU films. Modification with CH significantly increased antibacterial activity against Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. It was observed that the number of bacteria colonies were less about 10(2)-10(5) CFU/mL and number of attached viable bacteria decreased significantly after CH modification of PU films.

Abstract
An electronic sensor system for urinary bladder pressure monitoring requires an imbedding into a biocompatible, flexible, and liquid-impermeable material. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was selected in the present set-up as packaging material because it fulfills the abovementioned requirements. However, the surface of PDMS is hydrophobic and causes undesired interactions with salts, proteins, and cells present in urine. To reduce possible interactions of urine salts in the urinary bladder, monomers, [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-dimethyl-3-sulfopropyl-ammonium hydroxide (sulfobetaine) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropyl sulfonic acid, were grafted onto the surface through oxygen plasma treatment. A reduction in salt deposition between the pure PDMS and the modified PDMS was observed both in vitro (artificial urine flow over the surface) and in vivo (implants into the urinary bladder of experimental pigs). Additionally, a 10-fold reduction in salt deposition was observed in vitro due to grafting of the monomers onto the surface. These modified PDMS materials proved also to be biocompatible in cell cultures, which was further confirmed by histological screening of the bladder tissue after implantation in an in vivo pig model.
