Abstract
The invention discloses the processes and materials for treating materials to minimize the deposition of proteins and other molecules, and for removing proteins and other molecules from materials. New copolymers containing polyethylene oxide sidechains called supersurfactants have the ability to bind themselves to interfaces to provide a stable protein-resistant interface. A process is presented to treat and modify interfaces with the new copolymers.
