## Abstract Reproducible and controllable hydrophilic layers were grafted on macroporous PP membranes by surface initiated grafting. Two methods were adopted, i.e., through adsorption of or entrapping the photoβinitiator on the membrane surface. The latter method yielded longer grafted chains under

β¦ Synopsis
An acrylamide derivative of a thrombin inhibitor was synthesized and graft polymerized to the surfaces of polymer membranes. The thrombin-inhibitor activity was unaffected by the introduction of an acryloyl group. The surface-graft membrane deactivated thrombin markedly and suppressed adhesion of platelets, result-ing in a high nonthrombogenicity. Immersion of polymer membranes blended with the thrombin inhibitor in phosphatebuffered saline for 10 d resulted in the loss of nonthrombogenicity, while the polymer membranes grafted with the thrombin inhibitor derivative maintained the nonthrombogenicity over a long period.

## Abstract A novel method for the preparation of waterβsoluble polypyrrole graft copolymers with polyamines or polyimines is described. The polyreaction is performed in acidic solution by using chemical oxidants, e.g. iron(III) chloride or ammonium peroxodisulfate. The graft copolymers showed elec
