Polymeric Materials: Current Status of Biocompatibility

Pages 79-98 | Published online: 11 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

An overview of the current status of biocompatible materials is presented. Selected natural and synthetic macromolecular systems are discussed in relationship to thrombosis and their biocompatibility by focusing on the role of physico-chemical parameters such as negative charge density, critical surface tension, and hydrophilicity.
