1. Introduction A porous membrane can be defined as a matrix composed of nano- and micro-scaled pores or holes. The choice of membrane material and fabrication technique has a significant influence on the formation of controlled pores, which are required for their target applications such as separation, membrane distillation, fuel cell, and biomedical applications [1,2,3,4,5].

Parylene-C coated microporous PDMS structure protecting from functional deconditioning of platelets exposed under cardiostimulants Most elderly patients with orthopedic and dental implant surgeries are exposed to cardiostimulants to reduce potential blood pressure-related risks of cardiovascular diseases. Such treatments lead to deconditioning of platelet function, which is an important factor in wound healing treatments.
