Abstract: Chitosan as an antibacterial agent and heparin as an anti-adhesive agent were alternatively deposited onto aminolyzed poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) to construct anti-adhesive and antibacterial multilayer films.The contact angle and UV data verified the progressive build-up of the multilayer film by alternate deposition of the polyelectrolytes.PRT experiment and in vitro antibacterial assay indicated that the multilayer-modified PET films had much better hemocompatibility and much stronger antibacterial performance than(unmodified) PET.Such an easy processing and shape-independent method to prepare an anti-adhesive and(antibacterial) surface may have a good potential for surface modification of cardiovascular devices.
