Abstract
The aim of this review is to describe how biomaterial engineering proc esses, particularly in the field of polymer modifications for enhanced blood-compatibility, can take advantage of low-pressure plasma techni ques. It will also be emphasized how a diagnostic approach on both pla sma and surface reactions can lead to understand and control the chemi stry of plasma processes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
