Biological mapping of fluorinated surface modifier function on a polyetherurethane
Abstract
A study carried out for the biological mapping of fluorinated surface modifier function on a polyetherurethane (PU) was discussed. Two studies were also carried out to analyze platelet adhesion and morphology and to map fibrinogen (Fg) adsorption and distribution at the surface. It was observed that the presence of specific surface-modifying macromolecules (SMM) in a PU reduced the formation of large Fg aggregates that correlated to platelet …
