Investigating the blood compatibility of metallocene polyethylene subjected to steam treatment
In this study, one of the green surface modification techniques, steam treatment was employed to improve the surface characteristics and haemocompatibility of metallocene polyethylene (mPE). The mean contact angle of untreated mPE (87.4º) decreased sharply for steam exposed mPE (60.25º). The increas...
