Anticoagulant effects of sulphonated polyurethanes

Synthesis and characterization of calcium-containing polyurethane using calcium lactate as a chain extender

“…Many investigators have incorporated metalcontaining ionic groups into polyurethanes because of the wide variety of properties that make them useful in various fields of materials science, including the biomedical field. [1][2][3][4] This wide variety of properties arises due to the combination of covalent hydrocarbon polymer chains and ionic salt species in the same molecule. 5 Metal-containing ionic groups can be incorporated into polyurethane either by an ionic bond 6,7 or by coordination interactions.…”

Studies on polyurethanes and polyurethane-ureas derived from divalent metal salts of mono(hydroxybutyl) hexolate

“…6,7 Metals incorporated into the polymer ®nd applications as aqueous thickners, impregants, adhesives, 8 textile sizes, additives, 9 resins, 10 catalysts 11 and in the biomedical ®eld. 12 Metal-containing polymers with ionic links formed between COO À and M 2 in the main backbone of the polymer have been reported. 13±16 Metallo-polymers containing metal in the polymer chain have been investigated.…”

Heparin‐Like Macromolecules for the Modification of Anticoagulant Biomaterials

“…Most of these materials are composed of ionic polymers containing sulfate, sulfamide, and carboxylic acid groups, since it is believed that the anticoagulant activity of heparin is caused by the presence of these ionic functional groups. [13][14][15] These materials include poly(styrene sulfonate), sulfonated A heparin-like structured macromolecule (HLSM) is synthesized by RAFT polymerization using carboxyl-terminated trithiocarbonate as the RAFT agent. The HLSM can be directly blended with PES in DMAC to prepare flat-sheet membrane by means of a liquid-liquid phase separation technique.…”
