Abstract

The competitive adsorption of bovine fibrinogen (BFb) and bovine serum albumin onto polymer microspheres from the mixture solution was examined under various protein-to-microsphere ratios using various homopolymer microspheres and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)/polystyrene composite microspheres having heterogeneous surface structures consisting of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. They were produced by emulsifier-free (seeded) emulsion polymerizations. The selective adsorption of BFb was not observed for the homopolymer microspheres, but observed for the composite polymer microspheres having optimum compositions.
