Perhydropolysilazane (PZ) is known to convert into high-density silica by simply heating in the presence of adequate oxygen and water.  We have recently verified that PZ can be employed as a material to prepare functional surface by simply attaching the functional compound with hydroxyl group, on the time PZ was heated to produce silica film. In this study, several compounds with hydroxyl group, such as ethylene glycol oligomer (EGO) and its derivatives were attempted to immobilize on the surface of substrate using PZ.  Platelet-Rich-Plasma adsorption test was performed for biocompatibility evaluation. The biocompatibility of the substrate was improved by the immobilization of EGO.
