Enhanced Biocompatibility in Biostable Poly(carbonate)urethane

Hsu, Shan‐hui, Kao, Yu‐Chih, Lin, Zu‐Chang·2004·Macromolecular Bioscience

Abstract

Summary: In this work, we synthesized two MDI‐based polyurethanes, including a poly(ether)urethane (PEU) and a poly(carbonate)urethane (PCU), by using different soft segments, poly(tetramethylene oxide) and poly(hexyl, ethyl)carbonate diol ($\overline M$ ∼ 2 000). We demonstrated that, in addition to the enhanced biostability of PCU over PEU, the biological performances of PCU in vitro were also improved in general. These included, better cellular attachment and proliferation, less platelet activation, as well as reduced monocyte activation. The unusual wide‐ranging enhancement in biocompatibility for PCU was believed to be related to the larger micro‐phase separation in PCU (∼25 nm) that caused distinct protein adsorption on the surface. The total number of adherent monocytes (nonactivated and activated) on the bare sample surfaces, albumin pre‐adsorbed sample surfaces, and fibrinogen pre‐adsorbed sample surfaces. imageThe total number of adherent monocytes (nonactivated and activated) on the bare sample surfaces, albumin pre‐adsorbed sample surfaces, and fibrinogen pre‐adsorbed sample surfaces.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
