Effect of nano-scale curvature on the intrinsic blood coagulation system

Abstract

The intrinsic coagulation activity of silica nanoparticles strongly depends on their surface curvature. Nanoparticles with higher surface curvature do not denature blood coagulation factor XII on its surface, providing a coagulation ‘silent’ surface, while nanoparticles with lower surface curvature show denaturation and concomitant coagulation.
