Summary Different vinyl monomers carrying carboxyl-, hydroxyl-, and aminogroups were grafted onto polyethylene foil with the aid of γ -radiation. The polymers served as carrier for a covalent coupling of human serum albumin. Best coupling results were obtained with a 1-hydroxybenzotriazole ester of acrylic acid grafted polymer. Adding tetrahydrofurane to the coupling medium increases the coupling yield over 2o μg/cm2 foil. Abundant functional groups, to which the albumin is bound, can effectively be reduced by grafting different monomers simultaneously.
