Several nanomaterials are employed to develop anti-thrombogenic surfaces. These include:
1. Nanoparticles: Silver, gold, and titanium dioxide nanoparticles are often used for their antimicrobial properties and ability to reduce platelet adhesion. 2. Nanocomposites: Combining different materials at the nanoscale can result in surfaces with enhanced anti-thrombogenic properties. 3. Polymer Nanotechnology: Polymers like poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and polylactic acid (PLA) can be engineered at the nanoscale to improve hemocompatibility.
