Platelet adhesion, protein adsorption studied on silicone film

Published in Blood Weekly, May 19th, 2005

Platelet adhesion and protein adsorption was studied on silicone rubber surface by ozone-induced grafted polymerization with carboxybetaine monomer.

According to published research from People's Republic of China, "Platelet adhesion and protein adsorption on the silicone rubber film grafted with NAP-dimethyl-N-methacryloyloxyethyl-N-(2-carboxyethyl) ammonium (DMMCA) was studied.

"The grafting was carried out by means of ozone-induced method and was confirmed by ATR-FTIR and XPS investigations. The grafted films possessed relatively hydrophilic surface revealed by contact angle measurement."
