## Abstract Endothelialization of synthetic surfaces has been challenging with limited success thus far. We investigated the hypothesis that covalent attachment of cholesterol to polyurethane via the urethane nitrogen groups would create a highโaffinity surface for attachment and adhesion of endoth

Surfaces of commercial polyurethanes (PUS) were modified by poly(ethy1ene oxide) (PEO) grafting and/or heparin immobilization f o r l o n g -t e r m biomedical applications. PU surfaces were treated with diisocyanate and then reacted with PEO or heparin. The heparin immobilized by various methods on
Plates of polyethylene with ultrahigh molecular weight (PEUHMW) were treated by radiofrequency capacitive plasma discharge in order to incorporate รuorinated functional groups. The consequences of subsequent CF 4 heating treatments after รuorination were investigated by the combined use of angle-res
## Abstract This paper reports synthesis and characterization of polyurethaneโurea (PUโurea) and the nanocomposites derived from the PUโurea with silicate clays. Organophilic montmorillonite cotreated by cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was synthesized and used to prepare PUโurea/montmorillo
