Abstract
Over the past decades, biosensors, a class of physicochemical detectors sensitive to biological analytes, have drawn increasing interest, particularly in light of growing concerns about human health. Functional polymeric materials have been widely researched for sensing applications because of their structural versatility and significant progress that has been made concerning their chemistry, as well as in the field of nanotechnology. Polymeric nanoparticles are conventionally used in sensing applications due to large surface area, which allows rapid and sensitive detection. On the macroscale, hydrogels are crucial materials for biosensing applications, being used in many wearable or implantable devices as a biocompatible platform. The performance of both hydrogels and nanoparticles, including sensitivity, response time, or reversibility, can be significantly altered and optimized by changing their chemical structures; this has encouraged us to overview and classify chemical design strategies. Here, we have organized this review into two main sections concerning the use of nanoparticles and hydrogels (as polymeric structures) for biosensors and described chemical approaches in relevant subcategories, which act as a guide for general synthetic strategies.

Abstract
The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical properties of interfaces and has given rise to great advances in surface and interface engineering. Polymer brushes are defined as thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. Significant advances have been made over the past years in the field of polymer brushes. This includes novel developments in SI-CRP, as well as the emergence of novel applications such as catalysis, electronics, nanomaterial synthesis and biosensing. Additionally, polymer brushes prepared via SI-CRP have been utilized to modify the surface of novel substrates such as natural fibers, polymer nanofibers, mesoporous materials, graphene, viruses and protein nanoparticles. The last years have also seen exciting advances in the chemical and physical characterization of polymer brushes, as well as an ever increasing set of computational and simulation tools that allow understanding and predictions of these surface-grafted polymer architectures. The aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive review that critically assesses recent advances in the field and highlights the opportunities and challenges for future work.

Abstract
We quantified the impact of the carbon spacer length (CSL) of immobilized alkoxysilanes initiators on grafting poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) from the surfaces of monodisperse silica nanoparticles. PMMA was grafted using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP), a facile technique to produce well-controlled polymer brushes. The polymerizations were carried out in environmentally friendly 4:1 (v/v) methanol-water solutions at room temperature. Monoethoxysilane initiators of 3, 11, and 15 carbon spacer lengths were synthesized and characterized with (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR. The initiators were then used to modify the surfaces of monodisperse silica nanoparticles in methyl isobutyl ketone, producing dense initiator monolayers with site densities between 1.8-3.6 initiators/nm(2). PMMA was subsequently grafted from the functionalized nanoparticles using both CuCl and CuBr catalysts. We found that polymerizations performed with CuBr were uncontrolled, whereas those with CuCl were controlled. PMMA graft densities ranged between 0.10-0.43 polymers/nm(2), which increased with the initiator carbon spacer length (CSL). Interestingly, longer CSLs make nanoparticle surfaces hydrophobic, causing nanoparticle aggregation in methanol-water solutions. Our results indicate that surface hydrophobicity correlates to increases in PMMA graft density through the adsorption of hydrophobic MMA monomers on initiators with longer CSLs. Thus, to augment PMMA graft densities, a subtle balance must be struck between enabling particle stability and increasing MMA adsorption in methanol-water solutions.

Abstract
The response of host organism in macroscopic, cellular and protein levels to biomaterials is, in most cases, closely associated with the materials' surface properties. In tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and many other biomedical fields, surface engineering of the bio-inert synthetic polymers is often required to introduce bioactive species that can promote cell adhesion, proliferation, viability and enhanced ECM-secretion functions. Up to present, a large number of surface engineering techniques for improving biocompatibility have been well established, the work of which generally contains three main steps: (1) surface modification of the polymeric materials; (2) chemical and physical characterizations; and (3) biocompatibility assessment through cell culture. This review focuses on the principles and practices of surface engineering of biomedical polymers with regards to particular aspects depending on the authors' research background and opinions. The review starts with an introduction of principles in designing polymeric biomaterial surfaces, followed by introduction of surface modification techniques to improve hydrophilicity, to introduce reactive functional groups and to immobilize functional protein molecules. The chemical and physical characterizations of the modified biomaterials are then discussed with emphasis on several important issues such as surface functional group density, functional layer thickness, protein surface density and bioactivity. Three most commonly used surface composition characterization techniques, i.e. ATR-FTIR, XPS, SIMS, are compared in terms of their penetration depth. Ellipsometry, CD, EPR, SPR and QCM's principles and applications in analyzing surface proteins are introduced. Finally discussed are frequently applied methods and their principles to evaluate biocompatibility of biomaterials via cell culture. In this section, current techniques and their developments to measure cell adhesion, proliferation, morphology, viability, migration and gene expression are reviewed.
