Abstract

A process for preparing molding materials having anticoagulant properties is described. Hydrophobic monomers are subjected to free-radical copolymerization with hydrophilic monomers having biospecifically active functions to produce the molding material. The molding material may then be shaped into articles which also have anticoagulant properties. These articles are extremely useful in, for example, medical applications in contact with a patient's biological fluid.
