Hemocompatibility of zwitterionic interfaces and membranes
This focused review addresses the fundamental development of nonfouling zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (polySBMA) coatings on a wide range of interfaces and membranes in our laboratory for use in the development of hemocompatible medical devices. The molecular designs of zwitterionic interfaces (for example, surface packing density, grafting coverage, polymer chain conformation an...
متن کاملChitosan-coated Cellulose/soy Protein Membranes with Improved Physical Properties and Hemocompatibility
A series of cellulose/soy protein membranes (CSM) was coated with chitosan to improve the mechanical properties, cytocompatibility, and hemocompatibility. The original CSM and chitosan-coated CSM (CH/CSM) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle testing, and tensile testing. CH/CSM had a smoother...
متن کاملHemocompatibility of stent materials: alterations in electrical parameters of erythrocyte membranes
BACKGROUND It is presently unknown if stents used in the correction of artery stenosis are fully hemocompatible or if their implantation causes alterations at the level of the plasma membrane in red blood cells. METHODS We addressed this important issue by measuring the passive electrical properties of the erythrocyte membrane before and after stent insertion by means of dielectric relaxation...
متن کاملSurface Tension and Surface Energy of Curved Interfaces and Membranes
In this work we develop the basic idea that the mechanical properties of a curved Gibbsian dividing surface are characterized, not only by the surface tension, but also by surface moments. It is shown that an additional surface bending moment term is to be introduced in the interfacial balance of the force moments at a spherical dividing surface. The existence of surface bending moment leads to...
