Abstract

The structure and hydrogen bonding of water incorporated in a thin film of amphoteric terpolymers composed of various ratios of MA, DMAPMA, and BMA were analyzed using the band shapes of the OH stretching in the IR spectra. At an early stage of sorption of water, the IR spectrum for the water incorporated in the film with comparative contents of MA and DMAPMA residues was similar to that for free water. This is consistent with the tendency for zwitterionic polymers, but is in contrast with the drastic change in the IR spectrum of water incorporated in non‐ionic polymer films such as polyBMA. These results suggest a correlation between the mildness of the charge‐balanced polymers to the structure of incorporated water and their blood compatibilities.

The state of sorbed water and sorbing processes of water to four kinds of vinyl polymer films were studied by FT-IR. The O-H stretching band of water sorbed to the films gradually increased on contact with a water vapor of 50% relative humidity at 25 • C and leveled off. The profile of the O-H stret
