  • Process for the manufacture of a composite material
    Patent number: 7858337
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a composite materials comprising the steps of (a) providing a hydrophobic organic bulk material, and (b) applying a hydrophilic surface coating on the hydrophobic organic bulk material by first non-covalently attaching to the surface of the bulk material a water-soluble peptide comprising a hydrophobic moiety; and then chemically or enzymatically crosslinking the water-soluble peptide. The composite materials manufactured according to the process of the invention have desirable characteristics regarding adherence to the substrate, durability, hydrophilicity, wettability, biocompatibility and permeability and are thus particularly useful as ophthalmic devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 28, 2010
    Assignee: Novartis AG
    Inventors: Achim Müller, Monika Knuth, Katharina Schmid, Ralf Pasternack, Jens Zotzel, Kai Oertel, Christine Reiff, geb. Schmitt, Hans-Lothar Fuchsbauer
