Abstract
Cardiac medical devices (CMDs) are required when the patient's cardiac capacity or activity is compromised. To guarantee its correct functionality, the building materials in the development of CMDs must focus on several fundamental properties such as strength, stiffness, rigidity, corrosion resistance, etc. The challenge is more significant because CMDs are generally built with at least one metallic and one polymeric part. However, not only the properties of the materials need to be taken into consideration. The biocompatibility of the materials represents one of the major causes of the success of CMDs in the short and long term. Otherwise, the material will lead to several problems of hemocompatibility (e.g., protein adsorption, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, bacterial infection, and finally, the rejection of the CMDs). To enhance the hemocompatibility of selected materials, surface modification represents a suitable solution. The surface modification involves the attachment of chemical compounds or bioactive compounds to the surface of the material. These coatings interact with the blood and avoid hemocompatibility and infection issues. This work reviews two main topics: 1) the materials employed in developing CMDs and their key characteristics, and 2) the surface modifications reported in the literature, clinical trials, and those that have reached the market. With the aim of providing to the research community, considerations regarding the choice of materials for CMDs, together with the advantages and disadvantages of the surface modifications and the limitations of the studies performed.

Abstract
The implementation of shape-memory effects (SME) in polymeric micro- or nano-objects currently relies on the application of indirect macroscopic manipulation techniques, for example, stretchable molds or phantoms, to ensembles of small objects. Here, we introduce a method capable of the controlled manipulation and SME quantification of individual micro- and nano-objects in analogy to macroscopic thermomechanical test procedures. An atomic force microscope was utilized to address individual electro-spun poly(ether urethane) (PEU) micro- or nanowires freely suspended between two micropillars on a micro-structured silicon substrate. In this way, programming strains of 10±1% or 21±1% were realized, which could be successfully fixed. An almost complete restoration of the original free-suspended shape during heating confirmed the excellent shape-memory performance of the PEU wires. Apparent recovery stresses of σmax,app =1.2±0.1 and 33.3±0.1 MPa were obtained for a single microwire and nanowire, respectively. The universal AFM test platform described here enables the implementation and quantification of a thermomechanically induced function for individual polymeric micro- and nanosystems.

Abstract
Blood-material interactions are crucial to the lifetime, safety, and overall success of blood contacting devices. Hydrophilic polymer coatings have been employed to improve device lifetime by shielding blood contacting materials from the natural foreign body response, primarily the intrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade. These coatings have the ability to repel proteins, cells, bacteria, and other micro-organisms. Coatings are desired to have long-term stability, so that the nonthrombogenic and nonfouling effects gained are long lasting. Unfortunately, there exist limited studies which investigate their stability under dynamic flow conditions as encountered in a physiological setting. In addition, direct comparisons between multiple coatings are lacking in the literature. In this study, we investigate the stability of polyethylene glycol (PEG), zwitterionic sulfobetaine silane (SBSi), and zwitterionic polyethylene glycol sulfobetaine silane (PEG-SBSi) grafted by a room temperature, sequential flow chemistry process on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) over time under ambient, static fluid (no flow), and physiologically relevant flow conditions and compare the results to uncoated PDMS controls. PEG, SBSi, and PEG-SBSi coatings maintained contact angles below 20° for up to 35 days under ambient conditions. SBSi and PEG-SBSi showed increased stability and hydrophilicity after 7 days under static conditions. They also retained contact angles ≤40° for all shear rates after 7 days under flow, demonstrating their potential for long-term stability. The effectiveness of the coatings to resist platelet adhesion was also studied under physiological flow conditions. PEG showed a 69% reduction in adhered platelets, PEG-SBSi a significant 80% reduction, and SBSi a significant 96% reduction compared to uncoated control samples, demonstrating their potential applicability for blood contacting applications. In addition, the presented coatings and their stability under shear may be of interest in other applications including marine coatings, lab on a chip devices, and contact lenses, where it is desirable to reduce surface fouling due to proteins, cells, and other organisms.

Surface Functionalization of Polyethersulfone Membrane with Quaternary Ammonium Salts for Contact-Active Antibacterial and Anti-Biofouling Properties. MATERIALS 2016; 9:ma9050376. [PMID: 28773499 PMCID: PMC5503072 DOI: 10.3390/ma9050376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2016] [Revised: 05/05/2016] [Accepted: 05/06/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Biofilm is a significant cause for membrane fouling. Antibacterial-coated surfaces can inhibit biofilm formation by killing bacteria. In this study, polyethersulfone (PES) microfiltration membrane was photografted by four antibiotic quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) separately, which were synthesized from dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) by quaternization with butyl bromide (BB), octyl bromide (OB), dodecyl bromide (DB), or hexadecyl bromide (HB). XPS, ATR-FTIR, and SEM were used to confirm the surfaces’ composition and morphology. After modification, the pores on PES-g-DMAEMA-BB and PES-g-DMAEMA-OB were blocked, while PES-g-DMAEMA-DB and PES-g-DMAEMA-HB were retained. We supposed that DMAEMA-BB and DMAEMA-OB aggregated on the membrane surface due to the activities of intermolecular or intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Bacteria testing found the antibacterial activities of the membranes increased with the length of the substituted alkyl chain. Correspondingly, little bacteria were observed on PES-g-DMAEMA-DB and PES-g-DMAEMA-HB by SEM. The antifouling properties were investigated by filtration of a solution of Escherichia coli. Compared with the initial membrane, PES-g-DMAEMA-DB and PES-g-DMAEMA-HB showed excellent anti-biofouling performance with higher relative flux recovery (RFR) of 88.3% and 92.7%, respectively. Thus, surface functionalization of the PES membrane with QACs can prevent bacteria adhesion and improve the anti-biofouling activity by the contact-active antibacterial property.
