Protein adsorption experiments using radiolabeled myoglobin, concanavalin A, albumin, fibrinogen and ferritin as single proteins in buffer showed that adsorption was reduced on the PEO-grafted surfaces by up to 95% compared to the control.

Specifically, an outer aqueous phase containing cylindrically shaped micelles of the nonionic surfactant n-decyl tetra (ethylene oxide) (C10E4) is physically separated from an inner aqueous phase defined by the interior volume of gel beads, from which the micelles are completely excluded because of their shape and size.
