Coating of various surfaces and colloidal particles with flexible polymers greatly reduces adsorption and increases biological compatibility of surfaces and stability of colloidal particles. In addition, the immunogenicity and antigenicity of such particles decreases drastically. These findings are extremely important in the preparation of non-fouling and biocompatible surfaces. In the case of colloidal solutions, PEGylated proteins and liposomes are commercially available as novel medical formulations due to improved biological stability.The behavior of flexible polymers attached to the surface can be explained theoretically by the scaling theory. In this article this theoretical model as well as some experiments using osmotic stress technique and surface force apparatus are reviewed. Experiments show that this simplified theory fits experimental data as well as more complex treatments, indicating that general properties of such systems can be modeled by a rather simple theoretical approach.
