The synthesis of a novel diol monomer containing phosphorylcholine (PC) unit was carried out, and PC-containing polyurethanes were prepared by polyaddition of the diol monomer and poly(carbonate diol) with 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate. According to the thermal analysis and the stress–strain measurements, it was found that polyurethane films exhibited the thermal stability up to 250 °C and the elastic properties with high tensile strength. It was also confirmed that the PC-containing polyurethane film efficiently reduced the protein adsorption on the surface.
