The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials and their applications (2018, background): “Therefore, having such protective coatings prevents protein adsorption when materials come into contact with biological fluids (Castner and Ratner 2002).”
Significance of calcium phosphate coatings for the enhancement of new bone osteogenesis--a review. (2014, background): “These physicochemical characteristics can be manipulated to promote the clinical integration of implants with the surrounding cells and tissue [195, 207, 213-224].”
Biomaterial based modulation of macrophage polarization: A review and suggested design principles (2015, background): “argued that there are no differences between inert, nondegradable materials with different surface chemistries one month post-implantation and hence any short-term effect observed is inconsequential [53,54].”
Electrowetting: from basics to applications (2005, background): “One challenge for all lab-on-a-chip devices is the tendency of biomolecules to adsorb unspecifically onto hydrophobic surfaces [102].”
