ABSTRACT
The tables also contain the effective parameters that could be calculated using a previous unmodified model (72). The validity of the modified approach was then checked by the comparison of theoretical and experimental results of overall albumin adsorption on the surface of polyetherurethanes with different ratios of hard and soft segments (see Table 6; Fig. 28). Because of the good coincidence of theoretical and experimental data, we can draw the following general conclusions. The increase of the soft segment in the chemical structure of polyurethanes causes the decrease of the total amount of irreversibly adsorbed protein accompanied with the shift of the reaction for formation of the reversible layer to adsorption. Although the number of reversible binding centers depends slightly on the kind of segment, the contribution of this number itself in the thermodynamics and kinetics of adsorption is negligible in comparison with the chemical structure of these centers, followed
