Plasma Protein Adsorption • Better hemocompatibility can be expected on the surface with higher ratio of albumin/fibrinogen adsorption. • ELISA analysis after treating the samples with albumin (3mg/ml) and fibrinogen (0.2mg/ml) solution.
aPTT Measurement • Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) determines the ability of blood to coagulate through the intrinsic coagulation mechanism. The longer aPTT time is obtained on better hemocompatible surface. • Soaking for 60min in platelet poor plasma (PPP: 7x103/ml) using human whole blood from healthy volunteer.
Platelet Adhesion Measurement • Soaked for 60 min in PRP (1.5x105/ml) from human whole blood from healthy volunteer. • Adherent platelet are fixed and dehydrated for observation under OM and SEM.

Conclusions • Hemocompatibility of Si-DLC film was improved by the surface treatment using nitrogen and oxygen plasma. • Large surface energy (large polar component) • Low interfacial energy with blood • Both C-O and Si-O bonds on the plasma treated Si-DLC surface play a significant role in improving the hemocomptatibility.
