Surface Patterning of Gold Nanoparticles on PEG-Based Hydrogels to Control Cell Adhesion

Surface Patterning of Gold Nanoparticles on PEG-Based Hydrogels to Control Cell Adhesion

We report on a versatile and easy approach to micro-pattern gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on 8-arm poly(ethylene glycol)-vinyl sulfone thiol (8PEG-VS-SH) hydrogels, and the application of these patterned Au NPs stripes in controlling cell adhesion. Firstly, the Au NPs were patterned on silicon wafers,...
