Abstract

A novel copolymer has been synthesized by the radical polymerization of poly (ethylene oxide) methacrylate, stearyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate and trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate. The polymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The crosslinkable coating was prepared by dip-coating 5mg/ml solution in tetrahydrofuran onto glass substrate. A stable crosslinked coating was obtained after curing the coating at 70 degrees C for 9 h. Contact angle results indicated the possible reorganization of the surface amphiphilic molecule which interpreted the excellent biocompatibility revealed by the results of the platelet adhesion and plasma recalcification time. Rhodamine S and Cibacron Blue were used as model drugs to prepare drug-containing coating at the same conditions. Drug-releasing curves indicated that the mechanism of the release is approximately Fickian release.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
