Interaction of macrophages (Mos) with polyetherurethane (PEU) was investigated to clarify the role of the Mos in the early stage of tumorigenesis of PEUs. As for the inflammatory cytokines produced from Mos, the amount of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) produced

Poly(etherurethane urea) (PEUU) elastomers when employed as biomedical devices may be susceptible to extraction upon implantation. Four PEUU elastomers containing a single PEUU formulation, but varying in terms of their additives, were subjected to an in vitro extraction procedure. The

Aqueous dispersions of poly(ester-imide)s [P(E-I)s] have been prepared by dispersing the P(E-I)s in water without any external solubilizing agents. P(E-I)s were prepared from anhydride-terminated polyester prepolymer and diisocyanate. The -COOH groups in the polymer were then neutralized using triethylamine and

The adhesion of platelets to a series of segmented polyurethanes having sulfonate groups in the hard segment is reported. The polyurethanes were synthesized using sulfonated chain extenders of different structure. Analogous control materials without sulfonate groups also were studied. Adhesion
