Abstract:
The anticoagulation properties of biomaterials are crucial for biomedical applications, especially for blood-contacting materials. In this work, a range of functional graphene oxide based on the biomimetic monomer 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosphorylcholine (GO-g-pMPC) were synthesized by RATRP in alcoholic media using peroxide groups as initiator, and then filled into the polyurethane matrix to obtain the polyurethane (PU)/functional graphene oxide nanocomposite films (PU/GO-g-pMPC). The tensile strength and elongation and morphology of the PU/GO-g-pMPC were characterized by mechanical properties test, Transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. The results showed that a small amount of graphene oxide can improve the mechanical properties of PU. The blood compatibility of the PU substrates was evaluated by protein adsorption tests and platelet adhesion tests in vitro. It was found that all the PU/GO-g-pMPC showed improved resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption and platelet adhesion.
