Synthesis and ESCA surface studies of octadecyl chain‐extended polyurethanes

Abstract: SynopsisPoly(ether urethane)s as biomaterials display certain favorable mechanical and biocompatibility properties. Earlier studies suggest that improved blood compatibility might be attained by introducing hydrocarbon groups at the surface. We synthesized and characterized a series of polyurethanes in which a N-2,3-dihydroxypropyl-N'-octadecyl urea chain extender (ODCE) was incorporated into the poly(tetramethy1ene glycol) (PTM0)/4,4'-methylenebis(phenylene isocyanate) (MDI) system. Molecular weights of the p… Show more

“…The reason is that the surface of HTPB-based PU is more hydrophobic than the other two types of PU, which has been explained in Section 3.2. By the way, it has been reported that alkyl-grafted SPUs or the introduction of long alkyl side chain onto a PU have been shown to reduce platelet deposition and enhance in vitro albumin adsorption [18,19]. So that more soft segment dispersed on the polymer surface than the other two types of PUs which may be the reason for the lowest F/A molar ratio of HTPB-based PU.…”

“…In order to examine the C=O/C=C ratio on the air face composition, ESCA analysis was used to calculate the ratio of oxygen to carbon atom (O/C) [17,18]. The peak of the oxygen element, which appears at 534 eV on ESCA spectra, indicates that the hard segment is on the PU polymer surface, while that of carbon element appears at 287 eV, and this means that the soft segment is on the surface.…”

“…1,2 Many studies have aimed at discussing the effect of surface composition of PUs on the protein adsorption and the platelet adhesion. [3][4][5] The adsorption of fibrinogen on the material's surface increases the platelet adhesion. 6 It is observed that the albumin-coated surfaces exhibit remarkable inhibition of platelet adhesion.…”
