Polymer brushes present interesting features for the biofunctionalisation of biomaterials surfaces, owing to the unique control of their physico-chemical properties that can be achieved through monomer selection and architectural design . Hence, some polymer brushes display unique protein resistant properties allowing resistance even in complex concentrated physiological fluids for biosensing applications . Other brushes enable the tethering of cell adhesive peptides and protein fragments to regulate cell spreading, motility and endothelialisation or osseointegration . Polymer brushes have also been extensively applied to the formation of cell sheets for regenerative medicine and for the capture of nucleic acid materials for gene delivery applications .
