Biomaterials 2010 FebContact activation of blood factor XII (FXII, Hageman factor) in neat-buffer solution exhibits a parabolic profile when scaled as a function of silanized-glass-particle activator surface energy (measured as advancing water adhesion tension tau(a)(o)=gamma(lv)(o)cos theta in dyne/cm, where gamma(lv)(o) is water interfacial tension in dyne/cm and theta is the advancing contact angle). Nearly equal activation is observed at the extremes of activator water-wetting properties -36
