Abstract: | Adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on CoCrMo surface was studied by electrochemical techniques in order to determine the mechanism of protein adsorption at different surface conditions (which are reached by considering different passivation times) in phosphate buffered solution (PBS). At open circuit potential (OCP), adsorption kinetic was influenced by surface passivation when passivation time was lower than 1 h, whereas, at higher passivation times, no apparent modification in the kinetic mechanisms of adsorption was observed. On the other hand, at a passive applied potential, the BSA addition decreased the passivation kinetics of the process at all the passivation times. |
