Novel functional polymers: poly(dimethylsiloxane)-polyamide multiblock copolymer. V. The interaction between biomolecules and the surface of aramid-silicone resins.
Multiblock copolymers consisting of aromatic polyamide(aramid) and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) aramid-silicone resins (PASs) were synthesized by low temperature solution polycondensation, and PAS films were prepared by casting from an N,N'-dimethylacetamide solution. In this study, we investigated bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption, L929 cell adhesion, and tissue reaction on the surface of PAS in order to clarify the interaction between PAS and biomolecules. It was found that the amount of adsorbed biomolecules on PAS was extremely low in contrast with those on aramid and nylon films, and it was comparable to SILASTIC 500-1 film. This suppression of adsorption of biomolecules onto PAS seemed to be due to the low surface free energy of the outermost surface of PAS, where PDMS block was condensed.
