Nondestructive technique for the characterization of the pore size distribution of soft porous constructs for tissue engineering

Polymer scaffolds tailored for tissue engineering applications possessing the desired pore structure require reproducible fabrication techniques. Nondestructive, quantitative methods for pore characterization are required to determine the pore size and its distribution. In this study, a promising alternative to traditional pore size characterization techniques is presented. We introduce a quantitative, nondestructive and inexpensive method to determine the pore size distribution of large soft porous solids based on the on the displacement of a liquid, that spreads without limits though a porous medium, by nitrogen. The capillary pressure is measured and related to the pore sizes as well as the pore size distribution of the narrowest bottlenecks of the largest interconnected pores in a porous medium. The measured pore diameters correspond to the narrowest bottleneck of the largest pores connecting the bottom with the top surface of a given porous solid. The applicability and reproducibility of the breakthrough technique is demonstrated on two polyurethane foams, manufactured using the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process, with almost identical overall porosity (60-70%) but very different pore morphology. By selecting different quenching temperatures to induce polymer phase separation, the pore structure could be regulated while maintaining the overall porosity. Depending on the quenching temperature, the foams exhibited either longitudinally oriented tubular macropores interconnected with micropores or independent macropores connected to adjacent pores via openings in the pore walls. The pore size and its distribution obtained by the breakthrough test were in excellent agreement to conventional characterization techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy combined with image analysis, BET technique, and mercury intrusion porosimetry. This technique is suitable for the characterization of the micro- and macropore structure of soft porous solids intended for tissue engineering applications. The method is sensitive for the smallest bottlenecks of the largest continuous pores throughout the scaffold that contributes to fluid flow.

POLYURETHANE-POLYSTYRENE INTERPENETRATING NETWORKS

A series of polyurethane based on liquid chloroprene-hydroxyethyl methacrylate copolymer(CP-co-HEMA)-polystyrene (PS) interpenetrating polymer networks (PU-PS IPN) were synthe-sized. Some physical properties were examined and density behavior was investigated. In 60%polyurethane (PU) system, the tensile strength and density increased greatly. Transmission electronmicrographs showed that the phase separation existed and the sizes of PS domains dispersed in PUphase were about 500-4,000 A. In comparison with correlative PU-PMMA IPN system, whichhas the higher compatibility, this system showed an extensive phase separation and clear boundaries.There was no phase inversion observed even for 60% PU system in which PS was still the dispersed phaseand PU the continuous phase. This was due to the relatively faster rate of formation of PU than thatof ST polymerization.     

Nanoporous thermosetting polymers

Potential applications of nanoporous thermosetting polymers include polyelectrolytes in fuel cells, separation membranes, adsorption media, and sensors. Design of nanoporous polymers for such applications entails controlling permeability by tailoring pore size, structure, and interface chemistry. Nanoporous thermosetting polymers are often synthesized via free radical mechanisms using solvents that phase separate during polymerization. In this work, a novel technique for the synthesis of nanoporous thermosets is presented that is based on the reactive encapsulation of an inert solvent using step-growth cross-linking polymerization without micro/macroscopic phase separation. The criteria for selecting such a monomer-polymer-solvent system are discussed based on FTIR analysis, observed micro/macroscopic phase separation, and thermodynamics of swelling. Investigation of resulting network pore structures by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and small-angle X-ray scattering following extraction and supercritical drying using carbon dioxide showed that nanoporous polymeric materials with pore sizes ranging from 1 to 50 nm can be synthesized by varying the solvent content. The differences in the porous morphology of these materials compared to more common free radically polymerized analogues that exhibit phase separation were evident from SEM imaging. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the chemical activity of the nanoporous materials obtained by our method could be tailored by grafting appropriate functional groups at the pore interface.     

Fabrication of Porous Polyimide Membrane with Through-Hole via Multiple Solvent Displacement Method

Porous polyimide (PI) membranes are widely used in separation processes because of their excellent thermal and mechanical properties. However, the applications of porous PI membranes are limited in the nanofiltration range. In this study, porous PI membranes with through-holes have been successfully fabricated by the novel multiple solvent displacement method. This new method requires only a porous polyamic acid (PAA) membrane, which was prepared by immersing PAA film in N-methylpyrrolidoneebk; (NMP) prior to immersing it in a mixed solvent consisting of NMP and a poor solvent, followed by immersion only in poor solvent. The pore size, morphology, porosity, and air permeability demonstrated that the fabricated PI membranes had a uniformly porous structure with through-holes over their surface. This new method enabled control of pore size (3–11 μm) by selecting a suitable poor solvent. This multiple solvent displacement method is highly versatile and promising for the fabrication of porous PI membranes.     

Fabrication of porous collagen/chitosan scaffolds with controlling microstructure for dermal equivalent

Two sets of homemade apparatus have been utilized to fabricate collagen/chitosan porous membranes by quenching its acetic solution and subsequently extracting the solvent with ethanol. The influence of chitosan concentration on the surface morphology of the collagen/chitosan membranes was studied using a quenching cold plate (apparatus 1). The pore size was enlarged along with an increase in the chitosan content, accompanied with the emergence of a sheet‐like microstructure. Due to the large thermal conductivity of the membrane‐forming platform (stainless steel), collagen/chitosan membranes prepared using apparatus 1 at freezing temperature between ?60 to ?20 °C present similar pore size (2–4 nm) and surface morphology. However, a large difference in pore size is generated using apparatus 2 (membrane preparation in a cold ethanol bath) and using a membrane‐forming platform of poor thermal conductivity (polymethylmethacrylate), e.g. ～10 to 20 μm at freezing temperature of ?60 to ?40 °C, and 265 μm at ?20 °C accompanied with the transformation from fiber‐ to sheet‐dominated morphology. The spongy collagen/chitosan membranes with pore sizes ranging from tens to hundreds of micrometers and porosity higher than 95%, which could be used as dermal regeneration template, have thus been fabricated.

New breathable and waterproof coatings for textiles: effect of an aliphatic polyurethane on the formation of PEEK-WC porous membranes

PEEK-WC is an amorphous polyetheretherketone with high chemical stability, excellent thermal resistance and significant solubility in various solvents. It has been used to prepare flat membranes by the phase inversion technique. The water vapour permeability through a porous PEEK-WC film was 1350 g/m² day at 26 °C and its liquid entry pressure (LEP) of water equivalent to a column of 2.0 m. These values were remarkably improved by addition of an aliphatic ether polyurethane (PU) into the PEEK-WC/DMF dopes: the water vapour flux was increased up to 2000 g/m² day and the LEP was equivalent to 12.5 m. This improvement is correlated to the different structure of the membranes: a spongy, porous and almost symmetric structure for the PEEK-WC/PU membranes, and an asymmetric structure with fingers for PEEK-WC membrane. The presence of PU influences also the mechanical properties of the blend membranes. The role of the PU on the resulting membrane morphology is rationalised on the basis of the mechanism of phase separation.     

热致相分离法制备聚苯硫醚微孔膜

采用热致相分离法,以己内酰胺为溶剂,制备得到了聚苯硫醚微孔膜并对薄膜性能表征.聚苯硫醚-己内酰胺体系制膜的优点之一是溶剂己内酰胺是水溶性的,可以采用纯水作为后处理的萃取剂.选择了合适的浓度,利用压制成型法制备聚苯硫醚平板膜;研究了体系冷却时的相行为,并考察了降温速率、聚合物浓度等因素对微孔形态与薄膜性能的影响.研究表明,聚苯硫醚-己内酰胺体系以固液分相为主,萃取后形成球晶状的微孔结构.降温速率对薄膜的微孔形态、孔径以及连通性有重要影响;当体系以较低降温速率冷却时,多孔形态为枝叶状,形成了更多的开孔结构并获得了更大的孔径,这是获得高通量微孔膜的主要原因.通过控制降温速率可以制备纯水通量大于100 L/m2h,孔径约4～5μm且连通性良好的聚苯硫醚微孔膜;研究了聚合物浓度的影响,薄膜的纯水通量随着聚合物浓度的增大而减小,并且当聚苯硫醚浓度>50 wt%时,由于大于临界浓度而失去渗透性.
