CamStent's patented polymer coatings are derived from a well-characterized class of organic compounds called resorcinarenes. These molecules are based on a rigid circular scaffolding which may be anchored to substrates in either polymerized form (a shell) or as individual particles (a coating). The long pendant chains (bottom) can be designed to resist or attract a variety of agents, promoting adhesion or resistance to different substances. Variations on the molecule have previously found applications in commercial products such as ion-sensitive electrodes, biomedical sensors, selective-pore membranes, and non-linear optical filters.Polymer surface chemistry
