Abstract: | By contact angle measurements on layers of fibrinogen and fibrin, it can be shown that the transformation from fibrinogen to fibrin is accompanied by a change in surface properties from very hydrophilic (fibrinogen) to moderately but definitely hydrophobic (fibrin). It is also shown that, contrary to serum albumin and gamma globulin, fibrinogen does not become more hydrophobic upon drying. |
