8.6 HYPERBRANCHED POLYGLY CIDOL BASED NON-FOULING
SURFACES
Hyperbranched polyglycerols (HPGs) which presented a high density of glycol
groups due to its highly branched architecture is another good candidate for
making non-fouling surfaces.

Siegers and Haag prepared highly protein-resistant, self-assembled monolay-
ers of dendritic disulfide-functionalized polyglycerols (PGs) on gold.

Dendritic
PGs combined the characteristic structural features of highly protein-resistant
surfaces: a highly flexible aliphatic polyether, hydrophilic surface groups and a
highly branched architecture. While PG mo
