A Study of PLA Thin Film on SS 316L Coronary Stents Using a Dip Coating Technique

The dip coating process is one of the recognized techniques used to generate polymeric coatings on stents in an easy and low-cost way. However, there is a lack of information about the influence of the process parameters of this technique on complex geometries such as stents. This paper studies the...
