(a) Comparison of ‘dry’ mass of adsorbed copolymer () and serum proteins () as obtained from OWLS measurements (see Figure 5(a)) and ‘wet’ mass of adsorbed copolymer () and serum proteins () as obtained from QCM-D measurements using Voigt modelling (see Figure 5(b)) for PLL-g-PMOXA graft copolymers of varying graft density. α = 0 corresponds to pure PLL. Copolymer and serum adsorbed masses were taken after rinsing with buffer after a stable value was reached; (b) Hydration in weight percent of water in the PLL-g-PMOXA adlayers calculated from the data in (a) according to Equation (4).
