[Plasma protein adsorption on variously treated +polybutylene terephthalate]
1Laboratorio di Biocompatibilità dei Materiali da Impianto, Istituti Ortopedici Rizzoli, Bologna.
Background:
The aim of the research was the evaluation of plasmatic protein adsorption on untreated polybutylene terephthalate, corona treated polybutylene terephthalate and polyvinylacetate coated corona treated polybutylene terephthalate.
Methods:
Total proteins, albumin, immunoglobulins, fibrinogen, insulin and ostecalcin were determined on plasma after contact with these polymers.
Results:
Unsignificant variations were observed for the assayed proteins.
Conclusions:
The conclusions are drawn that the tested materials do not adsorbe significantly the most important plasmatic proteins.

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the polymer...
