UV-curable low-surface-energy fluorinated poly(urethane-acrylate)s for biomedical applications

Novel UV-curable fluorinated poly(urethane-acrylate) (FPUA) oligomers have been synthesized from 1H,1H,12H,12H-perfluoro-1,12-dodecanediol (PFDDOL), either 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) or 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) for end-capping with photo-crosslinkable methacrylate groups. The fluorine content and the nature of the isocyanate were investigated to determine their effects on the physical properties, surface properties, and blood compatibilities of the polymers. The introduction of hydrophobic fluorocarbon chains led to phase separation and a low total surface energy, which reduced the adhesion of blood platelets onto the materials. The HDI-type UV-curable, fluorinated poly(urethane-acrylate) exhibited a low-surface-energy and superior blood compatibility (as determined from RIPA values).
