Abstract :
This paper describes fundamental studies aimed at the characterisation of surface properties for different membranes based on a novel copolymer poly(MPC-co-BMA), including the analysis of molecular distribution and orientation, measurement of surface roughness, and the examination of blood-membrane interactions. The studies were performed by the use of a variety of methods
