In-Vitro Biocompatibility and Hemocompatibility Study of New PET Copolyesters Intended for Heart Assist Devices

Abstract: (1) Background: The evaluation of ventricular assist devices requires the usage of biocompatible and chemically stable materials. The commonly used polyurethanes are characterized by versatile properties making them well suited for heart prostheses applications, but simultaneously they show low stability in biological environments. (2) Methods: An innovative material-copolymer of poly(ethylene-terephthalate) and dimer linoleic acid—with controlled and reproducible physico-mechanical and biological properties w… Show more

“…A series of poly(aliphatic/aromatic-ester) copolymers with a variable hard to soft segments ratio and modified with D-glucitol has been synthesized as described elsewhere [ 9 , 11 ]. The hard segments (as in poly(ethylene terephthalate; PET) and soft segments containing dimer fatty acid—linoleic acid; DLA was set as 70:30 wt.% and 65:35 wt.%, respectively.…”
