Abstract:
The progress of research of the physical and chemical modification methods to improve the antithrombogenic property of biomedical polyurethane (PU) in the past five years is reviewed in this paper. The physical modification method includes physical blending, physical vapor deposition (PVD) and replication molding technique. Meanwhile, chemical modification method is focused on the covalent bonding to immobilized special molecular. Moreover, the covalent bonding method covered functionalizing the PU surface with tailor-made groups in the bulk and the activation of the surface to form unstable active sites for further reactions.
