Abstract

See full text

The surface free energy of a polymer blend where a base polymer contains an additive having a different surface free energy than that of the base polymer can be controlled over a wide range of additive surface concentrations by appropriate choice of the mold surface free energy during fabrication. A high surface concentration of additive relative to a low bulk concentration can be achieved, leading to improved biocompatibility without loss of optical clarity.
