ABSTRACT
A novel organosilicon sulfobetaine was synthesized through the reaction of organosilicon containing tertiary amino with 1,3-propanesulfone. Then this organosilicon sulfobetaine was coated onto polyurethane and organosilicon surface to improve their blood compatibility. The existence of sulfobetaine structure on the surface of materials was revealed by ATR-FTIR and XPS. The thermo-capability of synthesized silicone rubber, containing sulfobetaine was revealed by TGA. The blood compatibilities of organosilicon sulfobetaine and other materials such as silicone and PU as reference coated with them were evaluated by platelet-rich plasma adhesion experiment. The novel segmented silicone rubber containing sulfobetaine structure showed perfect blood compatibility.
