ABSTRACT
Six types of poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) analogues were synthesized and the water structure in the hydrated polymers was characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The hydrated PMEA analogues exhibited the different amounts of intermediate water. Non-thrombogenicity evaluation was performed on PMEA analogues for platelet adhesion and protein adsorption. Platelet adhesion was suppressed on PMEA analogues. In addition, the protein adsorption and deformation were suppressed by increasing the amount of intermediate water. This study demonstrates that the amount of intermediate water might play a key role in expressing the blood compatibility of polymeric materials.

An enantioresolution of 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl oxide (BINAPO) into its enantiomers was achieved using the inclusion complex with a commerciallyavailable chiral 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl ((R)-BINOL), giving the two enantiomers with 99% ee and 72% ee, respectively.
