The possibility of using ‘Belum’ chemically modified hydroxycellulose carbon fibres (CFs) to improve the wear resistance of elastomer composites was studied. Comminuted Belum fibres with a length of the main fraction of 50–100 μm were used. Chemical modification of the CFs was carried out in electric discharge plasma in a medium of organofluorine compounds, as a result of which prepolymer coatings were formed with a thickness of several tens of nanometres, similar in chemical composition to polyetrafluoroethylene. The microstructure of the modified CFs was investigated by electron microscopy. It was shown that the introduction of modified Belum-grade CFs leads to an increase in the wear resistance of elastomer composites based on SKF-26 fluorine-containing rubber. It was also shown that there is an improvement in the ageing resistance, measured from the change in 20% compression set at temperatures of 100, 125, 150, and 200°C. Comparative bench tests revealed considerable advantages of different types of moving seal manufactured using modified Belum CFs. Service tests of articles manufactured from rubbers of the experimental composition also showed positive results. The mechanism of the influence of plasma modification is discussed.

SummaryTissue plasminogen activator labeled with radioactive iodine (125I-tPA) was immobilized on vascular prostheses chemically modified with a thin coating of water-insoluble surfactant, tridodecylmethylammonium chloride (TDM AC). Surfactant- treated Dacron, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silastic, polyethylene and polyurethane bound appreciable amounts of 125I- tPA (5-30 μg 125I-tPA/cm2). Upon exposure to human plasma, the amount of 125I-tPA bound to the surface shows an initial drop during the first hour of incubation, followed by a slower, roughly exponential release with a t½ of appoximately 75 hours. Prostheses containing bound tPA show fibrinolytic activity as measured both by lysis of clots formed in vitro, and by hydrolysis of a synthetic polypeptide substrate. Prior to incubation in plasma, tPA bound to a polymer surface has an enzymic activity similar, if not identical to that of the native enzyme in buffered solution. However, exposure to plasma causes a decrease in the fibrinolytic activity of both bound tPA and enzyme released from the surface of the polymer. These data demonstrate that surfactant-treated prostheses can bind tPA, and that these chemically modified devices can act as a slow-release drug delivery system with the potential for reducing prosthesis-induced thromboembolism.
