Abstract

A series of condensed ethylene glycol acrylate monomers with differentmolecular weight was grafted to polyethylene films by means of pre-irradiation.The effect of the molecular weight of monomer and co-solvent system on thegrafting reaction and the properties of the grafted sample were studied. Theexperimental results showed that the initial rate of grafting reaction decreasedand the molar degrees of grafting linearly decreased with the increment ofmolecular weight of the monomer. The grafting degree was increased with theswelling degree of the grafted film. The biocompatibility and blood compatibilityof the grafted PE films were evaluated by the determination of hydrophilicityand anti-thrombus.
