A method of modifying surfaces of a device, for example, a medical device, is disclosed. The method includes modifying a surface of a device by providing a device, exposing the device to a reactive gas and plasma energy to create a plasma deposited surface on the device, and quenching the device with the reactive gas. The device exhibits changes in its surface properties thereby making it more desirable for an intended use.

Methods for surface modification

Process for the coating of objects with hyaluronic acid, derivatives

Process for reducing the friction coefficient between water, and, surfaces of fabricated bodies made from polymeric materials, and for increasing the water repellency of said surfaces, which process comprises treating the concerned surface with a corrosive solution, and coating it with a thin layer of fluorinated polymer.

Process for reducing the friction coefficient between water and surfaces

Formed articles having improved surface properties, such as wettability, printability, adhesion, antistaticity and clouding resistance, consisting of a polymeric finished article or semi-finished article coated on at least a surface with a polyhydroxethylacrylate layer, preferably prepared by means of plasma polymerization.

Formed articles made of polymeric material and having improved surface

A method for grafting hydrophilic monomers containing double bonds onto polymer surfaces in aqueous solution. The grafting is activated by ultraviolet radiation and by the presence in suspension of a photoactivator of controlled particle size distribution.

Method for grafting hydrophilic monomers containing double bonds onto

A process for coating the surface of bodies fabricated from polymeric materials with inorganic films by depositing on the polymeric bodies a thin layer obtained by thermal evaporation, under vacuum, of glass/silicon mixtures. The process provides for improved control of surface-depending properties, such as wettability, haze resistance, gas and weight barrier properties and selective absorption of ultraviolet light.
