Abstract

Thrombosis and bacterial infection are major problems in
cardiovascular implants. Here we demonstrated that a
superhydrophobic surface composed of Poly(bis(2,2,2-
trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene) (PTFEP)-Al2O3 hybrid nanowires
(NWs) is effective to reduce both platelet adhesion/activation and
bacterial adherence/colonization. The proposed approach allows
surface modification of cardiovascular implants which have 3D
complex geometries.
