Hierarchical Micro- and Nanostructured Superhydrophobic Surfaces to Reduce Fibrous Encapsulation of Pacemaker Leads : Nanotechnology in Practical Applications
The purpose of this master’s thesis was to, by the use of nanotechnology, improve material properties of the biomedical polymer Optim™, used as the insulation of pacemaker leads. Improved material properties are required to reduce the extent of fibrous encapsulation of the leads. Today, laser ablati...
