Abstract
PDMS surfaces have been modified to confer both resistance to non‐specific protein adsorption and clot lyzing properties. The properties and chemical compositions of the surfaces have been investigated using water contact angle measurements, ATR FT‐IR spectroscopy, and XPS. The ability of the PEG component to suppress non‐specific protein adsorption was assessed by measurement of radiolabeled fibrinogen uptake from buffer. The adsorption of plasminogen from human plasma to the various surfaces was studied. In vitro experiments demonstrated that lysine‐immobilized surfaces with free ε‐amino groups were able to dissolve fibrin clots, following exposure to plasma and tissue plasminogen activator.

## Abstract Depending on the final application envisaged for a given biomaterial, many surfaces must be modified before use. The material performance in a biological environment is mainly mediated by its surface properties that can be improved using suitable modification methods. The aim of this wo
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to study the surface segregation of siloxane in dilute blends of poly(methy1 methacrylate)/poly(dimethyl siloxane) graft copolymers in poly(viny1 chloride) (PVC). The graft copolymers are found to be extremely efficient surface modifiers, which form, when add
