COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS USEFUL IN SELECTIVELY MODIFYING THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SURFACES OF POROUS POLYMER BEADS

摘要

The invention concerns polymer systems comprising at least one polymer with a plurality of pores where the polymer is initially functionalized on substantially all surfaces followed by a stepwise surface specific functionalization such that a different functional group resides on the external or internal pore surface of the bead. The invention also concerns use of such polymer systems in blood, blood product, or physiologic fluid purification.
