Abstract
Hemorrhagic death is one of the leading preventable causes of mortality in traumatic injury. Considerable efforts have been made to explore the effective hemostatic agents that can be applied directly to the bleeding wound. In the present research, FE-SEM images, water absorption and human blood clotting experiments have been used to study the membrane of aluminophosphate molecular sieve AFI-5, which showed that its packed surface has excellent properties of super amphiphilicity, suggesting that AFI-5 may be useful in accelerating blood coagulation and shortening the clot formation time as an inexpensive human blood clotting agent like the zeolite-containing QuikClot, but with a thin surface coverage.
