Abstract:Ammonia implanted silicon was performed by using plasma immersion ion implantation
(PIII) to form a silicon nitride films. Blood compatibility of the prepared samples was investigated
by platelets adhesion testing. It showed less activation i.e. lower thrombosis risks occurs on the
prepared silicon nitride films than control silicon sample. The enhanced blood compatibility of the
material is attributed to the modified surface properties such as hydrophilicity from thermodynamic
adsorption perspective, which is… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
