| Abstract: | The grafting of vinyl monomers by tri-n-butylborane to blood has been investigated. The infrared spectra indicated that the monomers were grafted onto blood components. The grafting seems to occur onto blood proteins, mainly onto hemoglobin. The presence of water was essential to the grafting. The hydrolysis of the graft suggests that basic amino acids in the blood proteins, such as lysine and histidine, play an important role in the grafting. |
