title = "Influence of nitinol wire surface state on cell-wire interactions and polymer coating adherence",
abstract = "The effect of chemical and mechanical surface treatment on surface characteristics of Nitinol wires and to find the correlations between these characteristics and cell behavior were investigated. A correlation between surface roughness and adhesion energy of polymer coatings used for local drug delivery was also established. It was observed that the changes in wire properties have no significant influence on cell spreading as a result of different preparation procedures. The results show that the surface roughness of the wire have considerable influence on the adhesion of polymer coatings applied to them.",
