| Abstract | We explored a novel approach for the modification of titanium surfaces to improve the biocompatibility and antifouling properties using PEG-catechol. As is well-known, PEG-catechol can easily self-assemble onto titanium surfaces. However, the higher grafting density by this approach is hard to obtain. In our paper, o-quinone (the oxide of catechol) as the adhesive segment was used for the first time to graft PEG brushes onto titanium surfaces using the electroreduction process. Variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometer showed that the ultrahigh-density PEG brush adlayer could be grafted to the titanium surface when the o-quinone segment performs electrochemical reduction on the titanium. We called the adlayers that grafted onto the titanium surfaces by this kind of approach, electro-assembly monolayers (e-AMs). This distinguishes it from the PEG-catechol self-assembly monolayers (SAMs). The XPS, AFM and WCA techniques were also used to characterize the coating grafted onto the titanium surfaces via the two different ways. A clear result is that the grafted density of e-AMs can be higher than that of SAMs, and the grafted density of the e-AMs can be easily modulated. In addition, the long-term stability of e-AMs against full blood serum, FITC marked BSA and platelet adsorption was better than that of the SAMs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
