Abstract
Processes are described herein for preparing medical devices and other articles having a low-fouling surface on a substrate comprising a polymeric surface. The polymeric surface material may possess a range of polymeric backbones and substituents while providing the articles with a highly efficient, biocompatible, and non-fouling surface. The processes involve coating the substrate to conceal or reduce flaws on or in the surface of the medical device or other article substrate, and thereafter forming a grafted polymer layer on the treated substrate surface.
