Blood-Compatible Materials: A Perspective

Chandra P. Sharma

Division of Biosurface Technology, Biomedical Technology Wing, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences & Technology, Thiruvananthapuram 695 012, Indiasharmacp{at}sctimst.ker.nic.in

The interrelation of physicochemical properties with biological interactions at the interface to understand blood compatibility of materials in contact with blood has been discussed. The bioethics for human experimentation and future research outlook has been projected.

Key Words: blood-compatibility • surface free energy • intrinsic-extrinsic pathway system • LTI carbons • polymers • metals • blood proteins • oxide layer thickness • hemoperfusion • oral insulin delivery • hydroxyapatite • microspheres • transdermal delivery • bioprosthetic calcification • bioethics
