Figures
- FIG. 1.
Average initial deposition rates (j0) of three marine and three medical strains to different polyurethane coatings and glass in the parallel plate flow chamber (PP) (closed symbols) and stagnation point flow chamber (SP) (open symbols) as a function of surface free energy γ (a) and elasticity modulus (b). Solid lines indicate the results with the best fit, whereas dashed lines indicate the results obtained from similar experiments with marine strains (2).
