Description
To persuade the stent coating materials for the better sustainable development, a block copolymer composed of hydrophobicity of poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) and hydrophilicity of PTMC bearing ethylene glycol chains was synthesized as a potential candidate. The result of thermal stability of the polymer was analyzed which reached up to 206 °C (T10) and it is considered that sufficient for sterilization during the treatment. Moreover, the dip coated films of polymer were coated on polyethylene (PE) and stainless steel (SS) substrates in order to stimulate the stability upon the physiological environment. In addition, the preliminary in vitro test of the films were evaluated by protein adsorption and blood platelet adhesion tests. Hence, this study tends to convince that the synthetic block copolymer based on PTMC derivatives were approached for stent coating materials.
