Examples of various physical, chemical, and biofunctionalisation techniques to enhance haemocompatibility. Biofunctionalised surfaces interact with cell surface receptors, that is integrins. Whereas physiochemical modification can influence cell-material interactions through charge, topography, and attractive/repulsive forces due to hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions [26].
