Surface Nanostructuring of Parylene-C Coatings for Blood Contacting Implants

Surface Nanostructuring of Parylene-C Coatings for Blood Contacting Implants

This paper investigates the effects on the blood compatibility of surface nanostructuring of Parylene-C coating. The proposed technique, based on the consecutive use of O2 and SF6 plasma, alters the surface roughness and enhances the intrinsic hydrophobicity of Parylene-C. The degree of hydrophobici...
