The product is thoroughly characterized with the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FrIR), the electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), the thermogravimetric (TG) and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is found that chitosan is successfully grafted onto PBTNW. In addition, the water contact angles, hemolysis tests and cytotoxicity evaluation tests show an improvement in wettability and biocompatihility as a result of graft copolymerization of chitosan. So the CS-grafted PBTNW exhibits greater superiority than the original PBTNW. The CS-grafted PBTNW can be a candidate for blood filter materials and other medical applications.展开更多
