| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are many reports about the blood compatibility of biomaterials until now. However, the reason for expressing the good performance is not fully understood. To understand the mechanism, we investigated the relationships among platelet compatibility, water structure and mobilities of the functional groups, the water molecules in the polymers and polymer molecule itself using DSC, WAX, and NMR, where the polymers used are HEMA-based blcok/random-copolymers and polyether-poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymer. These investigations show that the important factors determining the compatibility are the higher mobility functional groups that can interact with water molecules and the water molecules with the lower mobility than that of bulk water. It is estimated that the good performance is obtained when the mobility of the water molecules in the polymer are depressed to several 10 ms of 2H-T1 (D2O by NMR).
