Abstract
Bulk blending is considered as one of the most effective and straightforward ways to improve the hemo-compatibility of blood-contacting polymeric biomaterials among many surface modification methods. Zwitterionic structure-, glycocalyx-like structure-, and heparin-like structure-based oligomers have been synthesized as additives and blended with base polymers to improve the blood compatibility of base polymers. Fluorinated end- and side-functionalized oligomers could promote the migration of functionalized groups to the surface of biomedical polymers without changing their bulk properties, and it highly depends on the number and concentration of functional groups. Moreover, oligomers having both zwitterion and fluorine are receiving considerable attention due to their desirable phase separation, which can avoid undesired protein adsorption and platelet adhesion. The surface analysis of the surface-modified materials is usually investigated by analytical tools such as contact angle measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Blood compatibility is mainly evaluated via platelet adhesion and protein adsorption test, and the result showed a significant decrease in the amount of undesirable adsorption. These analyses indicated that surface modification using bulk blending technique effectively improves blood compatibility of polymeric biomaterials.
