Lipidure®-CR3001
MPC-based surface modifier
Lipidure®-CR3001 for Silicone
The Lipidure®-CR3001 is a surface modifier for metals and silicone rubber that can provide excellent hydrophilicity and excellent biocompatibility.
g. Hydrophilization of Silicone Rubber Surface .g
A silicone rubber sheet was modified with Lipidure®-CR3001.
Contact angle (air in water) of the CR3001-modified surface was measured to confirm the improvement of hydrophilicity.
g. Coating Procedure .g

MPC : A Source of Ultra High Hydrophilicity
MPC is a methacrylic monomer having phosphoryl choline group.
a Phosphoryl choline is a hydrophilic part of phospholipid, which
exists on cell membrane.
a Phosphoryl choline coating imparts excellent biocompatibility
and excellent hydrophilicity onto the substrate.

Alkoxy silane: A crosslinking point
1. Alkoxy silane group is hydrolyzed in an acidic condition to form silanol group [-Si(OH)3].
2. In coating process, hydrogen bond is formed between the silanol and hydroxy group on the substrate.
3. Dehydration condensation occurs in heating process to form Si-O covalent bond.
MPC-based METAL surface modifier
Lipidure®-CR3001 for Metal
The Lipidure®-CR3001 is a metal surface modifier that can provide excellent hydrophilicity, and excellent biocompatibility.
The Lipidure®-CR3001 contains alkoxy silane group, which can bind the polymer onto the metal substrate by making strong hydrogen bond, and covalent bond.
g. Coating Procedure .g
A metal foil, SUS 304 was used as an example, was modified with Lipidure®-CR3001.
Contact angle of the substrate modified with CR3001 was measured to confirm the improvement of hydrophobicity.
Coating solution Lipidure®-CR3001 EtOH solution was dropped into the same weight of hydrochloric acid (pH≈4) with stirring, immediately before use.
Concentration Final concentration of CR3001 was 2.0 wt%

g. Silanized MPC Polymer .g
Lipidure®-CR3001 is synthetic copolymer combining MPC unit and alkoxy silane unit.
The MPC unit is the source of excellent biocompatibility, and excellent hydrophilicity, and the alkoxy silane group can bind
the polymer on the substrate surface by making strong hydrogen bond and Si-O covalent bond.
What's MPC
MPC consists of phosphoryl choline group and methacrylic group.
- Phosphoryl choline group
a Hydrophilic part of phospholipid, which exists on cell membrane.
a Source of excellent biocompatibility and excellent hydrophilicity.
- Methacrylic group
a Polymerizable with various comonomers

Mechanism of immobilizing Lipidure®-CR3001
1. Alkoxy silane group is hydrolysed in an acid condition to form silanol group [-Si(OH)3].
2. In coating process, hydrogen bond is constructed between the silanol and hydroxy group on the substrate.
3. Dehydration condensation occurs in heating process to form Si-O covalent bond.
