Acrylamide-grafted Silastic

SEMs were used to compare, in a qualitative sense, the surface texture of the acrvlamide-grafted Silastic and the ungrafted Silastic. Similar surface textures were noted in both cases (Figure 5). Because the acrylamide graft was dehydrated for SEM analysis, the graft also was observed in a hydrated...
