What Techniques are Used to Create These Surfaces?
Several advanced techniques are used to fabricate anti-thrombogenic surfaces, including:
1. Self-Assembly: Molecules spontaneously organize into structured patterns, creating surfaces that resist platelet adhesion. 2. Layer-by-Layer Assembly: Alternating layers of different nanomaterials are deposited to create multi-functional surfaces. 3. Electrospinning: Producing nanofibers that can mimic the structure of natural tissue, reducing the likelihood of clot formation.
