Abstract
⺠We investigated repulsion of blood platelets on oxygen plasma functionalized titanium surface used for coronial stents. ⺠Increased concentration of interstitial oxygen atoms or oxygen polar groups increases repulsion and deactivates platelets. ⺠Thermal treatment of plasma functionalized surfaces lowers the oxygen content and increases adhesion and activity of platelets.
