Antifouling Biopolymer Networks via Light- or Temperature-Activated and Fluorescently Traceable Crosslinking of Dextran-Azidocoumarin Conjugates.
Sustainable, biocompatible antifouling coatings with built-in traceability are in high demand for advanced material applications. Here, we report azidocoumarin-functionalized dextran (Dex-AzC) that allows for nitrene-mediated C-H insertion crosslinking (CHiC), resulting in intrinsically fluorescent dextran hydrogels. W...
