## Abstract A thermodynamic approach to the problem of platelet adsorption out of a suspension on to a smooth and homogeneous solid surface is developed. The interfacial tension values required may be estimated from contact angle data by means of an equation of state relation. According to the ther
## Abstract Polyethylene films were surface grafted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) by UV irradiating the film for 5 min together with benzophenone. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was attached to the grafted surface through reaction with the epoxy groups. This yielded a surface which consisted of 95%
Studies are described involving effects of noble-metal ion implantation on corrosion inhibition and charge-injection capabilities of surgical Ti-6A1-4V alloy. A major factor linked to excellent long-term biological performance is resistance to metal-ion release to tissues. The elements most resistan
## 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
