Abstract: The platelet adhesion and protein(Fibrinogen and albumin) adsorption ontoamphiphilic polystyrene-graft-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-g-PEO) and polystyrene-graft -ω-stearyl-poly(ethyleneoxide) (PS-G-SPEO) were investigated.It was found that the plateletadhesion on PS-g-SPEOwas lower than that on PS-g-PEO.The PS-g-SPEOsurface shows apreference for Albumin, while the PS-g-PEOsurface absorbed Fibrinogen selectivelyu.Twoeffects of stearyl end group on PS-g-SPEOsurface: (1) the lower surface free energe leadsto SPEOenrich at surface; (2) the stearyl end group absorbed albumin selectively, seems tocontribute to resistant the platelet adhesion.So the polymer surface modificed by both stearylgroup and poly(ethylene oxide) chain may be a new ideal way to improve material's bloodcompatibility.
