Impact of Some Properties of Quaternized Polysulfone/Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride) Blend on the Potential Biomedical Applications

Blends of quaternized polysulfones with triphenylphosphonium pendant groups/poly(vinylidene fluoride) were analyzed to establish their impact on the rheological, morphological and surface properties, as well as their interactions with some blood compounds. The rheological functions reflect the influence of both polymers’ chemical structures. Blend compositions of the corresponding films influence the surface tension parameters, increase blend hydrophobicity and, implicitly, decrease the polar surface tension parameters. The specific surface characteristics of polymer blends are related to their interactions with some blood constituents and plasma proteins. Also, the specific microarchitecture of the blend represents an excellent scaffold for medical applications.
