Biodegradation of polyurethanes and nanocomposites to non-cytotoxic degradation products

Polyurethanes with controllable biodegradable properties have been considered for biomedical applications. However, the potential toxicity of their biodegraded by-products is still a concern. In this study, biodegradable polyurethanes based on poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) and/or poly(ethylene glycol) as soft segments and biodegradable polyurethanes containing montmorillonite nanoparticles were synthesized and were subjected to in vitro biodegradation for 4 months. The post-degraded polyurethanes and nanocomposites were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The toxicity of the biodegradation by-products was evaluated by measuring their effect on the viability of retinal cells. FTIR results indicated that hard segments of the biomaterials were preserved during biodegradation, and suggested that the ester bonds of the PCL incorporated into the soft segments were hydrolytic broken. XRD data indicated also that the soft segments crystallized as a result of the hydrolysis of PCL ester bonds and re-organization of the amorphous phase during annealing at 37 °C. As the biodegradation of the biomaterials induced the formation of soft segment lamella crystals, a complex nanostructure was formed, resulting in the enhancement of the small angle X-ray scattering. The by-products were non-cytotoxic to the retinal cells. These results suggest that the hydrolytic unstable polyurethanes and nanocomposites can be possible candidates for ophthalmological applications.

Modern mass spectrometry in the characterization and degradation of biodegradable polymers

In the last decades, the solid-waste management related to the extensively growing production of plastic materials, in concert with their durability, have stimulated increasing interest in biodegradable polymers. At present, a variety of biodegradable polymers has already been introduced onto the market and can now be competitive with non biodegradable thermoplastics in different fields (packaging, biomedical, textile, etc.). However, a significant economical effort is still directed in tailoring structural properties in order to further broaden the range of applications without impairing biodegradation. Improving the performance of biodegradable materials requires a good characterization of both physico-chemical and mechanical parameters. Polymer analysis can involve many different features including detailed characterization of chemical structures and compositions as well as average molecular mass determination. It is of outstanding importance in troubleshooting of a polymer manufacturing process and for quality control, especially in biomedical applications. This review describes recent trends in the structural characterization of biodegradable materials by modern mass spectrometry (MS). It provides an overview of the analytical tools used to evaluate their degradation. Several successful applications of MALDI-TOF MS (matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight) and ESI MS (electrospray mass spectrometry) for the determination of the structural architecture of biodegradable macromolecules, including their topology, composition, chemical structure of the end groups have been reported. However, MS methodologies have been recently applied to evaluate the biodegradation of polymeric materials. ESI MS represents the most useful technique for characterizing water-soluble polymers possessing different end group structures, with the advantage of being easily interfaced with solution-based separation techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

The effect of thiolation on the mechanical and protein adsorption properties of polyurethanes

Segmented polyurethanes are important polymers for a number of industrial and technological applications. The purpose of this work was to synthesize polybutadiene-based polyurethanes and subsequently graft carboxylate and sulfonate side chains via thiol-ene reaction. Spectroscopic investigations showed that grafting yielded good conversion for the vinyl unsaturation of the polybutadiene soft segment. DSC and tensile testing revealed that grafted polyurethanes had a better segmental compatibility and superior mechanical properties than the control polyurethane without grafting. The carboxylic side chains of the soft segment were responsible for the observed improved mechanical properties. Initial protein adsorption tests on these polymers were found to be higher than the control surface. The polyurethanes of the current study could be used for biomedical applications where protein attachment to the surface is needed for specific cell adhesion and tissue repair.

The degradation and biocompatibility of waterborne biodegradable polyurethanes for tissue engineering

To better investigate the degradation and biocompatibility of waterborne biodegradable polyurethanes for tissue engineering, a series of new waterborne biodegradable polyurethanes (PEGPUs) with low degree of crosslinking was synthesized using IPDI, BDO and L-lysine as hard segments, PCL and PEG as soft segment. The bulk structures and properties of the prepared polyurethanes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile mechanical tests and water contact angle (WCA) measurements. The degree of microphase separation was slightly improved because of the lowered crosslinking degree of these PEGPUs in comparison with the high cross-linking degree samples, leading to good mechanical properties, as indicated by DSC and stress-strain data. Moreover, biodegradability of the polyurethanes was evaluated in phosphate buffer solutions (PBS) under different pH values and enzymatic solution at pH 7.4 through weight loss monitoring. The results suggested that the degradation of these PEGPUs was closely related to their bulk and surface properties. And the degradation products didn’t show apparent inhibition effect against fibroblasts in vitro. These studies demonstrated that the waterborne biodegradable polyurethanes could find potential use in soft tissue engineering and tissue regeneration.     

Synthesis and degradation of nontoxic biodegradable waterborne polyurethanes elastomer with poly(ε-caprolactone) and poly(ethylene glycol) as soft segment

In this study, in order to obtain waterborne polyurethanes (WBPUs) with biocompatibility, biodegradability as well as good mechanical properties, a series of nontoxic cross-linked waterborne polyurethanes were designed and synthesized with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), 1,4-butandiol (BDO) and l-lysine without any other organic agent involved in the whole synthetic process. The bulk structures and properties were characterized by DSC, IR and Instron, mainly focused on the effect of amount of PEG. Their corresponding biodegradability was examined with Lipase AK. The result showed that the prepared waterborne polyurethanes had very good tensile properties, allowing them to be well used as biomaterials. And the change of tensile properties with increasing of amount of PEG in the polymers could be assigned to the change of microphase separation, as indicated by DSC and IR data. A quite good biodegradability was achieved as judged from the change of tensile properties as a function of time. The current work demonstrated a new synthetic approach that can be more promising to prepare both nontoxic and biodegradable polyurethanes for soft tissue engineering applications or drug delivery.
