| 摘要 |
The medical devices of the present invention include polymer blends of polyamide and maleated polyethylene. The polyamide component of the blended materials of the present invention may include both homopolymers and copolymers. The other component of the present invention is preferably HDPE, with the addition of maleic anhydride. Accordingly, the materials of the present invention provide a unique combination of physical properties that are advantageous for use in various devices, including medical devices for maneuvering through the circulatory system. The properties of high-strength, capability of bonding to other polyamides, and kink resistance are retained. In addition, several physical properties and benefits are provided by the materials of the present invention, including low friction, functional groups to bond to low friction services, a range of flexibilities, and low gel counts.
