title: An assessment of athrombogenic properties of electret polyethylene film.
abstract: This paper shows the results of an investigation into the effect of an electric charge on blood platelet adhesion. All of the experiments were made on a polyethylene film. The electrets were formed using the electron beam method. The assessment of the electret effect on blood platelet adhesion was performed microscopically. It was found out that an electric charge plays a major role in the process of adhesion of blood morphological elements.
