## Abstract An __in vitro__ test cell is described which permits exposure of artificial surfaces in sheet or film form to native human blood in the absence of a bloodβair interface. Evaluation of Cuprophane, polyethylene, Silastic, and siliconeβcoated glass in the __in vitro__ cell showed Cuprophan

## Abstract A novel modified polymeric biomaterial surface using cyclodextrins (CDs) for improved blood compatibility was studied. Plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVCβP) was selected for modification and polyethylene was used as a reference material. The modification was achieved by polymer blend
Just before the turn of this century, physicists were impressed with their abilities to explain many of the basic laws of the universe mathematically. However, the energy output spectrum of a heated black body resisted rigorous explanation, particularly at the shorter wavelengths. This failure of cl
## Abstract Semiβinterpenetrating polymer networks (semiβIPNs) based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and crosslinked polyacrylamide (PAM) were prepared by redox polymerization and further characterized by FTIR, ESEM, and XRD techniques. The semiβIPNs of varying compositions were investigated for their w
We read with interest the recent article by Zhang et al. 1 in which the blood compatibility of titanium oxide was compared to LTI carbon. The authors state that ''LTI carbon was used as a reference material,'' yet the source of their reference material was not identified. The LTI carbon used so wid
