A new polymer brush chemistry containing sulfonated carbohydrate repeat units has been synthesized from silicon substrates using ATRP methods and characterized both in bulk and using surface analysis. The polymer brush was designed to act as a mimic for the naturally occurring sulfonated glycosaminoglycan, heparin, commonly used for modifying blood-contacting surfaces both in vitro and in vivo. Surface analysis showed conversion of brush saccharide precursor chemistry to the desired sulfonated polymer product. The sulfonated polymer brush surface was further analyzed using three conventional in vitro tests for blood compatibility -- plasma recalcification times, complement activation, and thrombin generation. The sulfonated polymer brush films on silicon oxide wafers exhibited better assay performance in these blood component assays than the unsulfonated sugar functionalized polymer brush in all tests performed.
一种含有磺化碳水化合物重复单元的新型聚合物刷化学物质已通过原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP)方法从硅基底合成,并进行了本体表征和表面分析。该聚合物刷旨在模拟天然存在的磺化糖胺聚糖——肝素,肝素常用于在体外和体内修饰与血液接触的表面。表面分析表明,刷状糖前体化学物质已转化为所需的磺化聚合物产物。使用三种常规的血液相容性体外测试——血浆复钙时间、补体激活和凝血酶生成,对磺化聚合物刷表面进行了进一步分析。在所有进行的测试中,氧化硅晶片上的磺化聚合物刷膜在这些血液成分分析中表现出比未磺化的糖功能化聚合物刷更好的检测性能。
