CARBOXYL-EBSELEN-BASED LAYER-RY-LAYER FILM: A POTENTIAL ANTITHROMBOTIC AND ANTIMICROBIAL COATING

摘要

Thrombus formation and bacterial infection are two major problems that are associated with the use of intravascular biomedical devices (e.g., catheters). To reduce complications and medical costs, developing antithrombotic and antimicrobial coatings to sustain the function of intravascular biomedical devices is of paramount importance.
