Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described.

[0028] The following constituents will be described based on the typical embodiments of the present invention in some cases, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

[0029] In the present specification, a range of numerical values described using to means a range including numerical values listed before and after to as a lower limit and an upper limit.

[0030] In the present specification, (meth)acrylamide has a concept including either or both of the acrylamide and methacrylamide. The same is true of the terms such as (meth)acryl, (meth)acrylate, and (meth)acryloyl.

[0031] In the present specification, in a case where there is a plurality of substituents, linking groups, and the like (hereinafter, described as substituents and the like) marked with specific reference signs, or in a case where a plurality of substituents and the like are simultaneously specified, the substituents and the like may be the same as or different from each other. The same is true of a case where the number of substituents and the like is specified.

[0032] Furthermore, in the present specification, in a case where there is no description regarding whether or not a group (atomic group) is substituted or unsubstituted, the group includes both the group having no substituent and group having a substituent. For example, alkyl group includes not only an alkyl group having no substituent (unsubstituted alkyl group) but also an alkyl group having a substituent (substituted alkyl group).

[0033] In the present specification, biological material is a term that means a wide variety of materials including materials constituting the living body and materials involved in the living body. For example, the term means materials including proteins, cells, tissues as groups of cells, peptides, vitamins, hormones, blood cells, antigens, antibodies, bacteria, viruses, and the like.

[0034] Furthermore, in the present specification, the term properties of inhibiting the adhesion of biological materials means the properties of perfectly preventing adhesion and also suppressing adhesion (reducing adhesion) before and after application even though adhesion occurs. Therefore, the term has a concept including not only the prevention of adhesion but also the inhibition of adhesion.

Curable Composition

[0035] The curable composition according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as the composition according to the embodiment of the present invention as well) contains one or more kinds of polyfunctional compounds (hereinafter, referred to as specific polyfunctional compound as well) selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by Formula (1) which will be described later, a compound represented by Formula (2) which will be described later, and a compound represented by Formula (3) which will be described later, and one or more kinds of compounds selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by formula (A) which will be described later (hereinafter, referred to as specific polyfunctional (meth)acrylamide compound as well) and a betaine monomer.

[0036] One of the characteristics of the composition according to the embodiment of the present invention is, for example, that the specific polyfunctional compounds and the specific polyfunctional (meth)acrylamide compound or the betaine monomer having excellent hydrophilicity are used in combination.

[0037] The inventors of the present invention have found a cured product having excellent biocompatibility tends to exhibit high hydrophilicity, but exhibits poor adhesion to a substrate in an aqueous liquid. In other words, the inventors have found that in a case where a cured product is formed on a substrate by using only the components such as the specific polyfunctional (meth)acrylamide compound and the betaine monomer, although the cured product itself has excellent biocompatibility, in a case where the substrate is hydrophobic and is immersed in an aqueous liquid, the cured product is easily peeled from the substrate.

[0038] Regarding the above finding, the inventors have revealed that the cured product, which is obtained from the composition containing the specific polyfunctional (meth)acrylamide compound or the betaine monomer having excellent hydrophilicity, and the specific polyfunctional compound is excellent in both the substrate adhesion and biocompatibility.

[0039] Although the reason is unclear, it is considered that the above characteristics may result mainly from the structure of the specific polyfunctional compound. The specific polyfunctional compound has at least one or more substituted or unsubstituted acrylamide groups exhibiting hydrophilicity and at least one or more substituted or unsubstituted acrylate groups exhibiting hydrophobicity, and has a predetermined structure in which the total number of the acrylamide group and the acrylate group is 3 or greater. In the cured product obtained from the composition according to the embodiment of the present invention, the repeating unit derived from the specific polyfunctional compound acts as a linker, and play a role of linking the repeating unit derived from the specific polyfunctional (meth)acrylamide compound or the repeating unit derived from the betaine monomer. In addition, it is considered that because the specific polyfunctional compound itself contains a substituted or unsubstituted acrylamide group exhibiting hydrophilicity, the repeating unit itself derived from the specific polyfunctional compound may also contribute to the improvement of biocompatibility.

[0040] Presumably, due to the aforementioned mechanism of action, from the composition according to the embodiment of the present invention, a cured product and a film excellent in both the substrate adhesion and biocompatibility may be obtained.

[0041] The aforementioned substituted acrylamide group means, for example, an acrylamide group (for example, a methacrylamide group or the like) in which a carbon atom constituting a carbon-carbon double bond is substituted with an alkyl group. Furthermore, the aforementioned substituted acrylate group means an acrylate group (for example, a methacrylate group or the like) in which a carbon atom constituting a carbon-carbon double bond is substituted with an alkyl group.

[0042] Hereinafter, each of the components contained in the composition according to the embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described.

The results are shown in Table 1.

[0216] In addition, - shown in the column of Biocompatibility in Table 1 means that the sample could not be evaluated because the film was peeled off.

[0221] From the results in Table 1, it was confirmed that according to the curable compositions of Examples, a cured product having excellent substrate adhesion and excellent biocompatibility was obtained.

[0222] By the comparison of Examples 1 to 8, it was confirmed that in a case where the compound represented by Formula (3) was used as the specific polyfunctional compound, the substrate adhesion was further improved.

[0223] By the comparison of Examples 9 to 12, it was confirmed that in a case where the compound represented by Formula (A1) or the compound represented by Formula (A2) was used as the specific polyfunctional (meth)acrylamide compound, the biocompatibility was further improved.

[0224] By the comparison of Examples 13 to 15, it was confirmed that in a case where the compound represented by Formula (C) was used as the betaine monomer, and R.sup.31 in the compound represented by Formula (C) is any of the group represented by Formula (I) or the group represented by formula (II), the biocompatibility was further improved.

[0225] Furthermore, by the comparison between Example 6 and Examples 16 and 17, it was confirmed that in a case where the curable composition contained all of the specific polyfunctional compound, the specific polyfunctional (meth)acrylamide compound, and the betaine monomer, both the high level of substrate adhesion and high level of biocompatibility could be accomplished.

[0226] On the other hand, it was confirmed that the cured product obtained from the curable composition of the comparative example did not satisfy the desired requirements.
