聚醚聚酯嵌段共聚物的表面性质对血液相容性的影响

聚合物的表面性质和结构对血液相容性具有很大的影响。本文通过接触角、吸水率和电子能谱研究了聚醚聚酯嵌段共聚物混合物的表面组成及微相分离结构。电子能谱的测试表明:试样空气面的氧碳元素比高于试样本体,表明醚键向空气面扩散,并以此来估量试样空气面的组成分布。试样的血液相容性与试样空气面氧碳比的提高程度随试样中聚乙二醇对苯二甲酸酯(PEGT)组成的递增呈相似的变化趋势,在共混物中软链段的组分比:聚四亚甲基二醇对苯二甲酸酯/聚乙二醇对苯二甲酸酯(PTMGT/PEGT)=60/40时,试样的接触角最大、氧碳比的提高率最大、血液相容性最好,且试样呈现最为细微的相分离结构。由此表明聚醚聚酯嵌段共聚物混合物的血液相容性主要受表面组成、各链段的表面自由能及微相分离程度的影响。     

血液接触生物材料的血液相容性评价研究进展

生物材料的血液相容性是决定该材料能否在临床成功应用的重要标准之一。当材料与血液接触后,会引起溶血、凝血和免疫等一系列反应,机制复杂且受多种因素影响。因此,在材料临床应用前需根据ISO 10993-4进行生物相容性评价,血液相容性评价是其中重要部分,但目前尚未形成统一的评价标准与评价体系。本文总结了近年对血液相容性评价的主要方法,为今后生物材料血液相容性评价体系的建立提供参考。

Insights into the surface property and blood compatibility of polyethersulfone/polyvinylpyrrolidone composite membranes: toward high‐performance hemodialyzer

Applications of blood purification membranes are fuelled by diverse clinical needs, such as hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, hemofiltration, plasmapheresis, and plasma collection. For clinical usage, the adding of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is the general protocol for the design of antifouling and antithrombotic properties integrated artificial membranes. In the present work, to insight into the detailed surface properties and blood compatibilities of the PVP blended composite membranes, we synthesized a series of PVP polymers with different molecular weights using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization and designed a series of polyethersulfone (PES)/PVP composite membranes by a physically blending method. The effects of PVP molecular weights and blending ratios on the surface properties and the blood compatibilities of the composite membranes were investigated in detail. The surface attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectra and scanning electron microscopy pictures indicated that the PVP was successfully immobilized into the membranes, and the composite membranes exhibited morphology transformation from finger‐like structure to sponge‐like structure, which indicated that the composite membrane had tunable porosity and permeability by adding PVP. The blood compatible tests revealed that the composite membranes showed increased hydrophilicity, decreased plasma protein adsorption, suppressed platelet adhesion, and prolonged blood clotting time compared with pristine PES membrane. These results indicated that the PES/PVP composite membranes exhibited enhanced antifouling and antithrombotic properties than the pristine PES membrane. Meanwhile, the results also suggested that the composite membranes with larger molecular weight PVP and higher blending ratios might show better blood compatibility.

Polyethersulfone sulfonated by chlorosulfonic acid and its membrane characteristics

Sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES) was prepared by homogeneous method with chlorosulfonic acid as sulfonating agent and concentrated sulfuric acid as solvent. The presence of sulfonic acid groups in SPES was confirmed by ¹H NMR and FTIR. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) studies were carried out to investigate the thermal stability of SPES. Membranes were cast from SPES solutions in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Tensile strength of prepared membranes decreased with degree of sulfonation (DS) but water uptakes of SPES membranes increased with DS. Compared with unsulfonated polyethersulfone membrane, the hydrophilicity of SPES membranes was increased, as shown by a reduced contact angle with water. Amorphous structures for SPES membranes were detected by X-ray diffraction. Atomic force microscopy phase images of the membranes clearly showed the hydrophilic domains at higher DS.     

Characteristics of polyethersulfone/sulfonated polyimide blend membrane for proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Solution-cast membranes from sulfonated polyimide (SPI) and its blend were prepared from polyethersulfone (PES) and SPI. The water uptake and swelling were tested and compared between the SPI membrane and the four kinds of blend membranes. Through comparison of the stability of the membranes, we concluded that the PES could greatly increase the stability of the whole membrane and restrict the swelling. However, the PES did not decrease the water uptake very much. We also compared the fuel cell performance with different membranes. The performance was decreased when the content of the PES in the blend membrane increased. The loss of the fuel cell performance with the blend membranes did not decrease very much before the content of the PES was exceeded 20%. It was prospected that the blend membrane could increase the stability of the SPI and, more importantly, even replace the commercial Nafion membranes.

Comparison of surface segregation and anticoagulant property in block copolymer blended evaporation and phase inversion membranes

In our recent study, an ABA amphiphilic triblock copolymer poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)‐b‐poly(methyl methacrylate)‐b‐poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP‐b‐PMMA‐b‐PVP) was synthesized and directly blended with polyethersulfone (PES) to prepare membranes. To further investigate the effects of surface energy and miscibility on the near‐surface composition profile of the membranes, evaporation membrane and phase inversion membrane of PES/PVP‐b‐PMMA‐b‐PVP were prepared by evaporating the solvent in a vacuum oven, and by a liquid–liquid phase separation technique, respectively. The surface composition and morphology of the membranes were investigated using XPS and tapping mode atomic force microscopy, and the surface segregations of the membranes were compared and discussed. For the evaporation membrane, PVP blocks were buried below the lower surface energy PMMA blocks and PES substrate at the airside surface. For the phase inversion membrane, however, the hydrophilicity of PVP blocks were the biggest driving force because of the high speed exchange between water and solvent, and present at the membrane surface. Thus, the modified PES membrane prepared by using phase inversion method has a layer of PVP block brushes on its surface and has the better anticoagulant property, which might improve the blood compatibility of the membrane and has potential to be used in blood purification.

Enhancing the antifouling property of polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes through surface adsorption-crosslinking of poly(vinyl alcohol)

An adsorption-crosslinking process of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was introduced to modify the surface of polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membranes for enhancement of their antifouling property. XPS and water contact angle measurement confirmed the obvious enhancement of surface hydrophilicity. Ultrafiltration results showed that the spreading of PVA chains over the hydrophobic membrane surface caused substantial but acceptable decrease on membrane flux. The fouling type analysis indicated that PVA adsorption effectively improved the antifouling property of PES membranes. With a PVA concentration of 0.5 wt% and three cycles of alternative adsorption-crosslinking, the total and irreversible fouling ratio of modified membranes were 0.38 and 0.22, respectively, much lower than those of control PES membrane (0.61 and 0.47), and the flux recovery ratio was increased accordingly. The long-term ultrafiltration experiment demonstrated the improvement of recycling property and the reliability of adsorption-crosslinking process.

Fabrication,characterization, and performance evaluation of polyethersulfone/TiO2 nanocomposite ultrafiltration membranes for produced water treatment

In the present work, development of neat and nanocomposite polyethersulfone membranes composed of TiO₂ nanoparticles is presented. Membranes are fabricated using nonsolvent phase inversion process with the objective of improving antifouling, hydrophilicity, and mechanical properties for real and synthetic produced water treatment. Membranes are characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared, contact angle, porosity measurement, compaction factor, nanoparticles stability, and mechanical strength. The performance of prepared membranes was also characterized using flux measurement and oil rejection. Fourier‐transform infrared spectra indicated that noncovalence bond formed between Ti and polyethersulfone chains. The contact angle results confirmed the improved hydrophilicity of nanocomposite membranes upon addition of TiO₂ nanoparticles owing to the strong interactions between fillers and water molecules. The increased water flux for nanocomposite membranes in comparison with neat ones can be due to coupling effects of improved surface hydrophilicity, higher porosity, and formation of macrovoids in the membrane structure. The membrane containing 7 wt% of TiO₂ nanoparticles was the best nanocomposite membrane because of its high oil rejection, water flux, antifouling properties, and mechanical stability. The pure water flux for this membrane was twice greater than that of neat membrane without any loss in oil rejection. The hydrophilicity and antifouling resistance against oil nominates developed nanocomposite membranes for real and synthetic produced water treatment applications with high performance and extended life span.
