Claims20
A hemocompatabe size selective polymer comprising at least one crosslinking agent and at least one dispersing agent, said polymer having a plurality of pores with diameters in the range from about 17 to about 40,000 Angstroms.
A size selective hemocompatible surface coated polymer system comprising an organic phase and an aqueous phase, said organic phase comprising polymerizable monomers and at least one initiator and said aqueous phase comprising at least one dispersing agent, at least one free radical inhibitor and at least one buffering agent, said organic phase being immiscible in said aqueous phase, wherein the organic phase forms a polymer, said polymer having a plurality of pores with diameters in the range from about 17 to about 40,000 Angstroms.
A method of manufacturing a size selective biocompatible coated polymer, said method comprising:
- polymerizing monomer droplets comprising at least one cross agent to form a polymer and simultaneously coating said resultant polymer using a least one polymeric dispersing agent to thereby form a biocompatible coated polymer;
- and forming a plurality of pores with diameters in the range from about 17 to about 40,000 Angstroms.
