Surface modifications can be applied to biomaterials to alter the various surface properties that influence protein-material interactions and the cellular response. The plasma protein fetuin-A has been found to adsorb to many biomaterials but details of its interactions with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and roles in regulating the immune response are not clear. Here, PDMS modifications are achieved by altering the ratio of PDMS formulations to control elastic modulus, and by coating PDMS with pol
