The impact of nanostructuring on the hemocompatibility of polysulfobetaine (PSB) coated hydrogel surfaces

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: surface, whereas no difference in platelet activation was seen between the surfaces. Compactly organized nanowires and fibers increase the water of hydration layers to strengthen the antifouling and hemocompatibility features, demonstrating the bio-inert nature of the PSB nanostructures. The inherent gelation (hydrophilicity) afforded by the PSB has substantial implications in designing bio-inert surfaces for hemocompatible devices.
