Abstract
Blood-contacting properties of polypropylene varied with changes in crystalline-amorphous microstructure such as the crystallinity and the degree of orientation. The results from our evaluation of surface adhesiveness using polymeric glue and water structure which was sorbed into the surfaces indicate that variations in the microstructure may cause differences in macromolecular entanglement with the glue and hydrophobic interaction at the surfaces. Therefore, the prevention of these interactions may help to attain better blood-contacting properties.
