Copolymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) and p-acryloyloxiace
tanilide (AOA) was carried out at different mole ratios of the monomer
s to obtain copolymers of varying compositions. DMAA contents were ver
y near to the corresponding monomer feed and varied between 0.20 and 0
.80. Investigation of the protein adsorption of these polymer surfaces
showed that copolymers with higher DMAA content adsorbed more albumin
than fibrinogen. The scanning electron micrographs of the polymer-coa
ted coverslips after contact with blood showed an antithrombogenic beh
aviour of these surfaces.
