Surface tension/energy
The force that acts on the surface of a liquid, causing it to minimize its surface area and form droplets.
Protein absorption
The process by which proteins bind to a surface, reducing surface tension/energy.
Secondary bonding
The type of bonding that occurs between proteins and biomaterial surfaces, involving interactions with amide groups on amino acid side chains.
Vroman effect
The displacement of more abundant and motile proteins by less abundant and less motile proteins with higher affinity for a surface.
