Cation-exchanged zeolites as novel storage materials of nitric oxide : therapeutic potential in biomedical applications

Zeolites can be manipulated to produce materials with varying NO storage and release capacities. NO is liberated from these structures on contact with an aqueous environment, making them ideal candidates for the development of biocompatible coatings on medical devices. The first experimental chapter...
