RESUMO
A diblock copolymer, poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate-block-glycidyl methacrylate (PEGMA-GMA), was prepared on glass substrate by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP), and endothelial specific peptide Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) was immobilized at the end of the PEGMA-GMA polymer brush by ring opening reaction through the rich epoxy groups in the GMA. The structure and hydrophilicity of the polymer brushes were characterized by static water contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results showed that the REDV modified copolymer brushes were successfully constructed on the glass substrates. The REDV peptide immobilized onto surface was quantitatively characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS). The blood compatibility of the coating was characterized by recalcification time and platelet adhesion assay. The results showed that the polymer coating had good blood compatibility. The multifunctional active polymer coating with PEGMA and peptide produced an excellent prospect in surface construction with endothelial cells selectivity.
