Evaluation of a Family of Elastin-like Polypeptide Coatings for Blood Contacting Devices

Blood contacting devices are frequently limited by complications such as surface-induced thrombosis. This thesis investigated the feasibility of using a family of recombinant elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs), namely ELP1, ELP2 and ELP4 that differ by molecular weight and sequence length, as potentia...
