Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Surface Chemistry
  • Biocompatibility

Background:

  • Polyurethanes (PUs) are widely used in biomedical applications.
  • Understanding protein adsorption onto modified PU surfaces is crucial for improving hemocompatibility.
  • Surface modification strategies aim to control protein-surface interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the adsorption of key plasma proteins (fibrinogen, albumin, IgG) onto surface-modified PUs.
  • To investigate the influence of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and sulfonate (SO3) groups on protein adsorption kinetics and equilibrium.
  • To correlate protein adsorption behavior with potential blood compatibility.

Main Methods:

  • Surface modification of PUs with PEO, SO3, and combined PEO-SO3 functionalities.

  • Quantification of adsorbed fibrinogen, albumin, and gamma globulin (IgG) using adsorption assays.
  • Analysis of protein adsorption kinetics, including the Vroman effect.
  • Comparison of protein adsorption profiles across different modified PU surfaces.

    • Main Results:

    • Sulfonate groups exhibited a high affinity for fibrinogen, with adsorption decreasing in the order PU-SO3 > PU > PU-PEO-SO3 > PU-PEO.
    • PU-PEO-SO3 showed intermediate fibrinogen adsorption due to competing PEO and SO3 effects, but fast adsorption kinetics.
    • All surfaces displayed the Vroman effect, characterized by fibrinogen displacement over time.
    • PU-PEO demonstrated minimal adsorption of fibrinogen and albumin, consistent with PEO's non-fouling properties.
    • PU-PEO-SO3 exhibited the highest albumin adsorption and lowest IgG adsorption.

    Conclusions:

    • Surface chemistry, particularly the presence of sulfonate and PEO groups, significantly dictates protein adsorption onto PUs.
    • The PU-PEO-SO3 surface demonstrates a unique protein adsorption profile with high albumin and low IgG uptake.
    • These specific protein adsorption behaviors suggest that PU-PEO-SO3 modification may lead to enhanced blood compatibility for biomedical devices.
