Abstract
Abstract A dicarbonyl halide preferably a straight-chain-alkyl dicarbonyl dihalide, may be used to activate a substrate surface of preferably polyurethane or polyamide. Optionally, an amine-end blocked polymer may be reacted with the resulting activated surface by reaction between amine and dicarbonyl halide groups. Then, a material to be covalently bonded to said surface, such as heparin, may be reacted with free amine groups bonded to the surface by a carbodiimide process or the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 26
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
In a process for activating the surface of a substrate to render it covalently bondable with a material to be immobilized thereon, which comprises, providing a substrate which comprises an organic polymer material having a plurality of nitrogen containing reactive groups between the ends of the molecules of said polymer, which reactive groups are reactive with carbonyl halide groups, and exposing the surface of said substrate to a compound containing at least two carbonyl halide groups per molecule, whereby said compound is bonded to the surface of said substrate to form an activated surface by linkage to nitrogen atoms of said reactive groups by reaction between said nitrogen containing reactive groups and said carbonyl halide groups, said compound being exposed to the substrate surface in sufficient concentration to result in an activated substrate surface having sufficient pendant carbonyl halide groups to permit the subsequent bonding of a nitrogen-containing compound to said surface.
