Abstract
The surface-modification of paper substrates with functional layers is gaining increasing interest, both from academic and industrial research. In this case, the cellulosic paper (CP) surface was functionalized with zwitterionic poly-(3-dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl) ammoniumpropane sulfonate) (CP-g-P(DMAPS) via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique for enhancing blood compatibility. An obvious increase in graft yield of the functional P(DMAPS) with polymerization time was observed. The new CP-g-P(DMAPS) produced was investigated for its hemocompatibility. The hemocompatibility studied including platelet and whole blood ceels adhesion tests, hemolysis assay, morphological changes of red blood cells (RBCs), coagulation time tests, and complement activation, platelet activation at the molecular level. Most assays had remarkable differences in the presence of the new zwitterionic CP, indicated the importance of the zwitterion for hemocompatibility of CP.
