TLDR
In this paper, a surface energy gradient along silicon or glass plates, 20 mm long, has been developed for the analysis of the surface energy dependence of the adsorption of human fibrinogen, γ-globulin, and lysozyme on the solid surfaces.About:

How to make water run uphill.
TL;DR: A surface having a spatial gradient in its surface free energy was capable of causing drops of water placed on it to move uphill after an imbalance in the forces due to surface tension acting on the liquid-solid contact line on the two opposite sides of the drop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and reactivity of water at biomaterial surfaces
TL;DR: It is found that solvent properties of water within the interphase separating a solid surface from bulk water solution vary with contacting surface chemistry, and this interphase can extend tens of nanometers from a water-contacting surface due to a propagation of differences in self association between vicinal water and bulk-phase water.

Effect of Surface Wettability on the Adsorption of Proteins and Detergents
TL;DR: In this article, surface plasmon spectroscopy was used to study the effect of surface wettability on the nonspecific adsorption of proteins and detergents to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates on gold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-assembly of block copolymer thin films
TL;DR: In this paper, the roles of surface and interfacial effects on self-assembly are discussed, with a specific focus on confinement, substrate surface modification, and thermal and solvent annealing conditions.

Hydrophobins: Proteins that Change the Nature of the Fungal Surface
TL;DR: Hydrophobins were discovered while searching for genes expressed during emergent growth in Schizophyllum commune, and are a novel class of small secreted cysteine-rich proteins of fungi that assemble into amphipathic films when confronted with hydrophilichydrophobic interfaces.

Interaction of high molecular weight kininogen, factor XII, and fibrinogen in plasma at interfaces.
TL;DR: It is concluded that intact plasma will quickly replace the fibrinogen it has deposited on glass-like surfaces by high molecular weight kininogen and, to a smaller extent, by factor XII.

Adsorption behavior of fibronectin on well-characterized silica surfaces
TL;DR: The adsorption behavior of human plasma fibronectin at physiological pH and ionic strength was investigated by in situ ellipsometry on silica substrates of two different surface energies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of human albumin to polyethylene was studied using radioiodinated (125I or 131I) protein, and the existence of a dynamic equilibrium with equal rates of adaption and desorption was established.

TL;DR: A simple technique using a small disc which is dipped into a 125I-labeled protein solution has been devised to study the adsorption of human albumin, fibrinogen, and IgG onto Cuprophane or PVC.
