Abstract

Extracts from Cardiothane-51 have been cast from solvents of varying polarity. Cardiothane-51 can be described as block polyether-polyurethane copolymer with a 10% by weight addition of polydimethylsiloxane (DMS) that is partially copolymerized and partially blended to form a copolymer/polyblend. FT-IR has been utilized to probe bulk and near-surface bonding and composition in the solution-cast extract films. Results show that Cardiothane-51 is similar in bulk composition, as measured by FT-IR, to Avcothane-51. However, these two polymers are quite different in composition over a depth of microns.
