The development of state-of-the-art blood-contacting devices can be advanced through integrating hemocompatibility, durability, and anticoagulant functionalities within engineered nanoscale coatings. To enable all-aqueous assembly of nanocoatings combining omniphobic fluorinated features with the potent anticoagulant activity of hydrophilic heparin, two fluoropolymers containing cationic functionalities were synthesized─poly[(trifluoroethoxy)(dimethylaminopropyloxy)phosphazene], PFAP-O, and poly[(trifluoroethoxy)(dimethylaminopropylamino)phosphazene], PFAP-A. Despite a relatively high content of fluorinated pendant groups─approximately 50% (mol) in each─both polymers displayed solubility in aqueous solutions and were able to spontaneously form stable supramolecular complexes with heparin, as determined by dynamic light scattering and asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation methods. Heparin-containing coatings were then assembled by layer-by-layer deposition in aqueous solutions. Nanoassembled coatings were evaluated for potential thrombogenicity in three important categories of in vitro tests─coagulation by thrombin generation, platelet retention, and hemolysis. In all assays, heparin-containing fluoro-coatings consistently displayed superior performance compared to untreated titanium surfaces or fluoro-coatings assembled using poly(acrylic acid) in the absence of heparin. Short-term stability studies revealed the noneluting nature of these noncovalently assembled coatings.
通过在工程纳米涂层中整合血液相容性、耐久性和抗凝血功能,可以推动最先进的血液接触设备的发展。为了能够在全水溶液中组装纳米涂层,将具有疏油性氟化特征的纳米涂层与亲水性肝素的有效抗凝血活性结合起来,我们合成了两种含有阳离子官能团的含氟聚合物─聚[(三氟乙氧基)(二甲基氨丙氧基)膦嗪],PFAP-O 和聚[(三氟乙氧基)(二甲基氨基丙基氨基)膦嗪],PFAP-A。尽管两种聚合物都含有相对较高含量的氟化侧基─每个聚合物中约为 50%(摩尔),但它们都在水溶液中具有溶解性,并且能够通过动态光散射和不对称流场流分离方法与肝素自发形成稳定的超分子复合物。然后通过在水溶液中的层层沉积来组装含肝素的涂层。通过三种重要的体外测试类别评估纳米组装涂层的潜在血栓形成性─凝血酶生成引起的凝血、血小板滞留和溶血。在所有测试中,与未经处理的钛表面或未使用肝素组装的聚(丙烯酸)组装的氟涂层相比,含肝素的氟涂层始终表现出更好的性能。短期稳定性研究表明,这些非共价组装的涂层不会洗脱。
