Water-soluble chitosan (WSC)/dextran sulfate (DS) was immobilized onto the surface of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) membrane after ozone-induced graft polymerization of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). The surface was characterized with contact angle measurement and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption of human plasma fibrinogen (HPF) followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The results showed that the surface density of peroxides generated and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) grafted reached the maximum value at 20 min of ozone treatment. It was found that the WSC- and DS-immobilized amount increased with pH and the molecular weight of WSC. The membrane/water interfacial free energy increased with PAA-grafting and WSC/DS-immobilization, indicating the increasing wettability of TPU membrane. The adsorption of HPF on TPU-WSC/DS membranes could be effectively curtailed and exhibited unfavorable adsorption. Moreover, WSC/DS immobilization could effectively reduce platelet adhesion and prolong the blood coagulation time, thereby membrane improving blood compatibility of TPU membrane. In addition, the in vitro cytotoxicity test of PEC modification was non-cytotoxic according to much low growth inhibition of L929 fibroblasts. Furthermore, TPU-WSC/DS membranes exhibited higher cell viability than native TPU membrane. 相似文献
The surface of a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) membrane was treated with low temperature plasma (LTP) and was then grafted with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), followed by the grafting of water-soluble chitosan (WSC) and heparin (HEP). The surface was characterized with static contact-angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the surface densities of peroxides and PAA reached a maximum when treated with LTP for 90 s. A higher pH of the reacting solution led to higher graft densities of WSC and HEP. After WSC and HEP grafting, the hydrophilicity of the TPU membrane was increased. The adsorption of proteins on HEP-grafted TPU membranes was effectively curtailed. In addition, HEP grafting also reduced platelet adhesion, elevated thrombin inactivation, and prolonged the blood coagulation time. According to the L929 fibroblast cell growth inhibition index, the HEP-grafted TPU membranes exhibited non-cytotoxicity. Overall results demonstrated that the HEP immobilization could not only improve the hydrophilicity but also the hemocompatibility of the TPU membrane, while maintaining the ascendant biocompatibility. 相似文献
The improvement of hydrophilicity and hemocompatibility of poly(tetramethylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PTAT) membrane was developed via polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) immobilization. The polysaccharide PEMs included chitosan (CS, as a positive-charged and antibacterial agent) and dextran sulfate (DS, as a negative-charged and anti-adhesive agent) were successfully prepared using the aminolyzed PTAT membrane in a layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly manner. The obtained results showed that the contact angle of as-modified PTAT membranes reached to the steady value after four bilayers of coating, hence suggesting that the full coverage was achieved. It could be found that the PTAT–PEMs membranes with DS as the outmost layer could resist the platelet adhesion and human plasma fibrinogen (HPF) adsorption, thereby prolonging effectively the blood coagulation times. According to L929 fibroblast cell growth inhibition index, the as-prepared PTAT membranes exhibited non-cytotoxic. Overall results demonstrated that such an easy, valid and shape-independent processing should be potential for surface modification of PTAT membrane in the application of hemodialysis devices. 相似文献
Amino groups were introduced onto a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) surface by applying 1,6-hexanediamine treatment. The effects of aminolysis time and 1,6-hexanediamine concentration on hydrophilicity of the treated PHBV were investigated using contact angle measurement. The occurrence of the aminolysis and the introduction of NH2 groups were verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ninhydrin method. By use of the NH2 groups as active sites, collagen was further immobilized on the aminolyzed PHBV (NH2-PHBV) membrane via a cross-linking agent, glutaraldehyde. The increase of nitrogen content and further decrease of water contact angle after immobilization of collagen suggested that the surfaces became more hydrophilic. Mouse bone marrow stromal cells (BMSc) cultured on untreated PHBV and treated PHBV films were evaluated by cell attachment, cell proliferation, and morphological observation under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The order of cytocompatibility is Coll-PHBV > NH2-PHBV > PHBV, indicating coll-PHBV was a promising material in future tissue-engineering application. 相似文献
A thin layer of gold was sputtered onto SUS316L stainless steel (SS) sheet. After thiolizing the Au layer with dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), layers of chondroitin 6-sulfate (ChS) and heparin (HEP) were alternatively immobilized on the Au-treated SS. The resulting stent would be both anti-atherogenic and anti-thrombogenic. After repeating one to five cycles, one to five layers of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) of ChS/HEP were successfully fabricated. A model drug, sirolimus, was loaded in the ChS/HEP layers. The SS-ChS-HEP surface was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurement. Biological tests including hemocompatibility, drug release pattern, and the inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation were also performed. The results show that the multilayer of ChS/HEP exhibits longer blood clotting time than pure SS substrates. Therefore, this biopolymer multilayer can avoid thrombosis on the stainless. The releasing rate of sirolimus can be controlled through the number of ChS/HEP PEC layers. With a five-layer coating, sirolimus can be released continuously for more than 20 days. Furthermore, the multilayer ChS/HEP loaded with sirolimus can suppress specifically to the growth of smooth muscle cells to avoid restenosis. This suggests that the PEC multilayer of ChS/HEP modified-SS could be applied in making drug-eluting stents. 相似文献
Summary: Polyaniline (PANI) nanowires and sub‐micro/nanostructured dendrites are synthesized and immobilized on PP‐g‐PAA film surfaces via routine oxidative polymerization of aniline under different conditions, where grafting poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) served as a template and dopant, and SDS as a surfactant. The immobilized PANI enhances the surface hydrophilicity of the poly(propylene) (PP) films, and a superhydrophilic surface is obtained in this way. The mechanism of forming different morphologies of PANI and of correspondingly obtaining a superhydrophilic surface are briefly discussed.
FESEM image shows the PANI sub‐micro/nanostructured dendrites immobilized on the surfaces of PP films. The modified surface is highly hydrophilic with a water contact angle of 3°. 相似文献
A water-soluble quaternary ammonium salt of chitosan, chitosan-N-hydroxy-2,3-propyl-N-methyl-N,N-diallylammonium methyl sulfate (MDAACS), was synthesized by reacting chitosan with methyl diallyl ammonium salt (MDAA). The results of water contact angle and swelling ratio showed that the membrane of MDAACS was more hydrophilic than chitosan. The antibacterial activities of MDAACS against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae were evaluated with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The results showed that the antibacterial activity of MDAACS was higher than that of chitosan. The cytocompatibility was evaluated in vitro with L929 fibroblast proliferation based on MTT colorimetric assay. The results showed that cell growth was much higher on MDAACS than on chitosan. 相似文献
Membrane technology has been successfully applied for the removal of dyes from wastewater in the textile industry. A novel poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane was prepared via blending with different dosages of Ag‐TiO2‐APTES composite for dyeing waste water treatment in our study. And the effect of Ag‐TiO2‐APTES blended into the PVDF membrane was discussed, including the rejection rate of methylene blue (MB) dye, membrane morphology, surface hydrophilicity, antibacterial activity, and a certain photocatalytic self‐cleaning performance. X‐ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared characterization confirmed that Ag‐TiO2 was functionalized by amount of hydroxyl group (−OH) and amino group (NH−), which provided by APTES. Contact angle measurement certified that the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface increased, with the contact angle decrease to 61.4° compared with 81.8° of original PVDF membrane. MB rejection rate was also increased to 90.1% after addition of Ag‐TiO2‐APTES, and the rejection of original membrane was only 74.3%. The morphologies of membranes were observed by scanning electron microscope, which indicated that Ag‐TiO2‐APTES had a good dispersion in membrane matrix and also improved the microstructure of membranes. Besides, UV irradiation experiments were performed on the composite films contaminated by MB, and the result showed that Ag‐TiO2‐APTES nanoparticle provided PVDF membrane with a certain photodegradation capacity under UV irradiation. Moreover, antibacterial activity of the composite membrane was also demonstrated through antibacterial experiment, Escherichia coli as the representative bacteria. Perhaps, this research may provide a new way for PVDF blending modification. 相似文献
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was blended with soluble polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) made from poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa). Crystallinity, thermal transition, and thermal stability of the PVA/PEC blends were characterized by using wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermal gravity analysis (TGA), respectively. Surface morphology, cross-section and phase structure of the blend membranes were examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Surface hydrophilicity and swelling behavior of the blend membranes were examined by water contact angle (CA) and swelling tests. Blend membranes were subjected to isopropanol dehydration, and effects of blend composition, feed composition and feed temperature on pervaporation performance are discussed in terms of phase structures of blend membranes. A performance of J = 1.35 kg/m2 h, α = 1002, was obtained for blend membrane containing 50 wt% PEC in dehydrating 10 wt% water–isopropanol at 70 °C. 相似文献
A biocomposite of hydroxyapatite (HAp) with electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds was prepared by using chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) and N-carboxyethyl chitosan/PVA (CECS/PVA) electrospun membranes as organic matrix, and HAp was formed in supersaturated CaCl2 and KH2PO4 solution. The influences of carboxylic acid groups in CECS/PVA fibrous scaffold and polyanionic additive poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in the incubation solution on the crystal distribution of the HAp were investigated. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were used to characterize the morphology and structure of the deposited mineral phase on the scaffolds. It was found that addition of PAA to the mineral solution and use of matrix with carboxylic acid groups promoted mineral growth and distribution of HAp. MTT testing and SEM imaging from mouse fibroblast (L929) cell culture revealed the attachment and growth of mouse fibroblast on the surface of biocomposite scaffold, and that the cell morphology and viability were satisfactory for the composite to be used in bioapplications. 相似文献
To endow hydrophobic poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes with reliable hydrophilicity and protein resistance, an amphiphilic hyperbranched-star polymer (HPE-g-MPEG) with about 12 hydrophilic arms in each molecule was synthesized by grafting methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) to the hyperbranched polyester (HPE) molecule using terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) as the coupling agent and blended with PVDF to fabricate porous membranes via phase inversion process. The chemical composition changes of the membrane surface were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the membrane morphologies were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Water contact angle, static protein adsorption, and filtration experiments were used to evaluate the hydrophilicity and anti-fouling properties of the membranes. It was found that MPEG segments of HPE-g-MPEG enriched at the membrane surface substantially, while the water contact angle decreased as low as 49 degrees for the membrane with a HPE-g-MPEG/PVDF ratio of 3/10. More importantly, the water contact angle of the blend membrane changed little after being leached continuously in water at 60 degrees C for 30 days, indicating a quite stable presence of HPE-g-MPEG in the blend membranes. Furthermore, the blend membranes showed lower static protein adsorption, higher water and protein solution fluxes, and better water flux recovery after cleaning than the pure PVDF membrane. 相似文献
The wheat straw carboxymethylcellulose (WSC), a typical natural polymer, was modified by functional poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with in situ polymerization, which afforded natural and synthetic polymer composite (WSC/PAA). The polymer (WSC/PAA) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. WSC/PAA was used as polymer adsorbent for removing Pb(II) ions in wastewater. The removal rate of 99.8% was obtained when the experimental conditions were chosen as follows: initial Pb(II) ion concentration; 600 mg/L, WSC/PAA concentration; 0.1 g/100 mL, pH; 5.0, contact time; 60 minutes at 20°C. Adsorption dynamics were consistent with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the isotherm model can meet the Langmuir isotherm. 相似文献
