Disclosed are biocompatible cryogels comprising one or more biomolecules, such as antibodies, protein complexes, enzymes, dna and polysaccharides. Also disclosed are methods of making the cryogels.

A surface-treating agent including a perfluoro(poly)ether group-containing silane compound and a perfluoro(poly)ether group-containing compound. The perfluoro(poly)ether group-containing compound contains a radical capturing group or a UV absorbing group in the molecule.

Disclosed is a vesicular system comprising a surface with a vesicle immobilized thereon. The immobilized vesicle has a circumferential membrane of an amphiphilic polymer. The vesicle is coupled to a surface by means of a molecule with a non-polar moiety. The non-polar moiety comprises a main chain of 3 to about 30 carbon atoms and 0 to about 12 heteroatoms selected from Si, O, S, and Se. The molecule with the non-polar moiety is coupled to the surface via a covalent or non-covalent bond. A portion of the non-polar moiety is integrated in the circumferential membrane.
