The effect of full/partial UV-irradiation of TiO2 films on altering the behavior of fibrinogen and platelets

- The full UV-irradiation could be a very facile and efficacious approach to remarkably improve the blood compatibility of TiO2 films.
- The partial UV-irradiation with the presence of photomask could be a very facile and efficacious method to pattern fibrinogen and platelet on the TiO2 surface.
- The Fgn-dark regions (the regions where fibrinogen adsorption was reduced) were found to be extended in comparison with the UV-irradiated regions on the partially UV-irradiated TiO2 surface.
