Surface properties beyond water energetics may influence platelet activation on polymers; leaves open optimal biomaterial design for vascular devices pending human studies.
Platelet shape change and cytoskeletal reorganization depend on polymer surface properties beyond just surface-water energetics, which may inform the design of improved materials for vascular applications.
Goodman et al. (1989) studied this question.
