New water‐soluble copolymers of 2‐methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine for surface modification

Abstract New copolymers of 2‐methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine with 2‐Deoxy‐2‐methacrylamido‐D‐glucose, N‐vinylpyrrolidone, and N‐vinyl‐N‐methylacetamide were synthesized and characterized; the obtained copolymers contained 10–50 mol% of phosphorylcholine moieties, and their molecular masses ranged from 1.05 × 10 5 to 4.40 × 10 5 . Reactivity ratios of the monomers were estimated. Conformational states of the copolymers in aqueous solutions were studied. The synthesized copolymer was grafted onto the surface of carbon fiber biosorbent using γ‐radiation.
