The Development of a Hydrophilic/ Hydrophobic Interface



Polymer layer is fabricated to interface with hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials at the same time. This is done by making a coating that can be placed over a base layer, such as polypropylene, silicon rubber, or stainless steel; adhesion will be achieved with a collagen layer, which will in turn promote cell attachment and growth. A probable advantage of this technology is to control biological response to artificial materials used to fabricate implanted devices.
