Method For Grafting Hybrid Crosslinked-uncrosslinked Fluorocarbon Films On Biopolymer Surfaces

Production of fluorocarbon films with desirable in vivo charateristics such as films with strong interfacial layers for enhanced adhesive strength and films with flexible surface layers for increased lubricity.

Polymer implants and biodevices interacting with soft tissue, and therefore biological applications requiring durable, hydrophobic, and lubricious surface coatings in particular.
