Synthesis of Biodegradable and Blood-Compatible Polyurethane Based on Poly(vinylpyrrolidone)
Three kinds of degradable and blood-compatible polyurethane (PU) were synthesized by coupling hydroxyl-terminated poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) with diisocyanate-terminated PU. The chemical structure and molecular weight of the synthesized copolymer were systematically characterized by nuclear magnet...

Summary: | Three kinds of degradable and blood-compatible polyurethane (PU) were synthesized by coupling hydroxyl-terminated poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) with diisocyanate-terminated PU. The chemical structure and molecular weight of the synthesized copolymer were systematically characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (
1
HNMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The hydrophilicity and water absorption of the synthesized PU was increased by introducing PVP segment. To evaluate the hemocompatibility and degradability of the modified PU films, the extent of platelet adsorption, plasma recalcification time, hemolysis and degradation were measured. All results indicated that the blood compatibility and degradability of the PU films were improved significantly after introduction PVP segment into PU. |
