TRIETHYLHEXYL TRIMELLITATE

Three types of plasticised PVC containing either diethylhexyl phthalate, triethylhexyl trimellitate or butyltrihexyl citrate as plasticisers were assessed for blood contacting applications. Correlations between plasticiser and fibrinogen adsorption behaviour are discussed. The fibrinogen adsorption mechanism was also examined using Freundlich adsorption modelling. 11 refs. [Pg.43]

Three types of plasticised PVC sheet were investigated for blood compatibility using fibrinogen adsorption. Plasticisers used were diethylhexyl phthalate, triethylhexyl trimellitate and butyltrihexyl citrate. FTIR was used to monitor surface chemistry. 14 refs. [Pg.56]
