Figure 1.a) Reaction scheme of the immoblilisation of heparin on titania by dint of APMS and b) further spacer molecules used as coupling agents for heparin.

Figure 2.Zeta potentials after functionalisation of TiO2 powder with APMS, Di- and Triamino-APMS and respectively after the reaction with heparin. Each data point is the mean of three samples, error bars are standard deviations.

Figure 3.Remaining potencies of heparin immobilised by the spacers APMS, Di- and Triamino-APMS. Each data point is the mean of three samples and error bars are standard deviations.

Figure 4.Hydrolysis of heparin from the spacer molecules APMS, Di- and Triamino-APMS in aqueous medium. Each data point is the mean of three samples and error bars are standard deviations.

Figure 5.Δf (decreasing curves) and ΔD (increasing curves) of the adsorption of fibrinogen on surfaces functionalised with APMS/Di/Tri(amino-)APMS and Hep(arin) in real-time.

............................................................
Figure 6.Correlation between ΔD and Δf of the different surfaces from Figure 5. The ΔD/Δf values can be taken to compare the viscosity of protein layers adsorbed onto different surfaces because of elimination of the factor time.
