Extract

Sorption processes (adsorption, absorption, permeation) are of considerable importance in the physico-chemical and biological performance of polymeric biomaterials, especially in cardiovascular applications, and in various controlled drug release and drug carrier systems [1,2]. Transport of molecules of widely ranging molecular weights through synthetic as well as biologic membranes represents a basic process in the performance of many medical devices.
