title: Surface--interface energy contributions to blood compatibility.
abstract: An attempt has been made to understand and correlate surface - and interface energy parameters with the blood compatibility of an implant surface. Although, it is realized that such concepts alone may not be enough to explain the complex multiparameter processes of such interactions at the interface.
