Forecast
of biocompatability of polyolefinketones
Abstract
The energetic characteristics of the polyolefinketones’
surfaces at the solid-gas and solid-water interfaces were determined using
wetting contact angles. Two copolymers were investigated: double copolymer
(propylene–CO, PCO) and ternary copolymer (propylene–CO–ethylene–CO, PECO).
Incorporation of ethylene–CO–blocks in PCO leads to the surface energy
increase. Comparison of interfacial energy at the solid–water interface to
criteria one demonstrated the potential blood-compatibility of PECO copolymer.
