Abstract
Methods for modulating and enhancing thermal and mechanical properties and biocompatibilities of coatings on implantable devices are disclosed. Implantable devices containing the enhanced thermal and mechanical properties and biocompatibilities are also described. The implantable devices can be used to treat a medical condition such as vulnerable plaque or restenosis.
