Composite membranes were prepared by casting a linear poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) solution onto polyester non-woven supports, and then the supported pHEMA within the membranes was cross-linked by a diisocyanate cross-linking agent to form a network structure. The swelling and permeation
Organic di-isocyanates are used widely in industry. The concomitant respiratory complications are well-known. Cutaneous problems precipitated by skin contact with these chemicals are less well recognised. Allergic contact dermatitis caused by exposure to di-cyclohexylmethane 4,4'-di-isocyanate has been demonstrated in a

Poor compatibility between blood and metallic coronary artery stents is one reason for arterial restenosis; however, the immobilization of anticoagulant agents on the surface of the stent is a feasible method of improving stent compatibility. Heparin, a well-known anticoagulant, has

Poor compatibility between blood and metallic coronary artery stents is one reason for arterial restenosis. Immobilization of anticoagulant agents on the stent's surface is feasible for improving compatibility. We examined possible surface-coupling agents for anticoagulant agent immobilization.
