聚乙烯醇/壳聚糖复合水凝胶的物理化学性质

测定了聚乙烯醇(PVA)和壳聚糖(CS)复合水凝胶的平衡含水量、熔融焓、等温溶胀动力学和非等温失水动力学等性质,讨论了水凝胶的组成和制备参数对这些性质的影响.结果显示:PVA/CS复合水凝胶具有适宜于软骨修复替代材料的网络结构和平衡含水量.CS与PVA复合减弱了凝胶的结晶度,但却增强了水与凝胶支架的相互作用.尽管水凝胶力学拉伸强度有所降低,但却优化了凝胶的生物相容性和降解能力.PVA/CS复合水凝胶是一种潜在的软骨修复材料,作为一种理论研究的模型体系,它将促进热力学在复杂医用材料方面的应用.     

纳米复合水凝胶的力学行为与刺激响应性

纳米复合水凝胶（nanocomposite hydrogels,NC凝胶）由于其简便的制备方法、独特的组成、优异的力学性能、高光学透明度以及良好的溶胀/去溶胀性等,引起了广泛的关注.近年来,本课题组在NC凝胶的力学行为及刺激响应性NC凝胶的制备方面取得了可喜的研究成果.观察到新合成的和溶胀平衡的聚N-异丙基丙烯酰胺（PNIPAm）-锂藻土LaponiteNC凝胶的超拉伸性,发现了在大应变下的应变硬化现象;发现利用Mooney-Rivlin方程可以描述NC凝胶的压缩应力-应变,但不能描述较大的应变硬化;Creton模型能很好地描述NC凝胶在大形变下的应力-应变曲线,特别是凝胶的应变硬化;从NC凝胶小应变下的平衡剪切模量得到了有效交联密度,观察到NC凝胶形变-回复过程的迟滞现象,测定了NC凝胶的松弛指数.我们认为NC凝胶具有超拉伸性的原因是其较低的交联密度和适度的松弛速率;在响应性NC凝胶的制备方面,发现了溶胶型Laponite的水分散液的稳定窗口,避免了加入离子性单体引起的聚集沉淀;通过共聚制备了具有超拉伸性、pH响应或温度和pH双响应的透明NC凝胶.本文主要综述了我们课题组在NC凝胶力学行为及响应性NC凝胶领域的一些研究进展,并分析了NC凝胶研究领域仍然未解决的科学问题,以及今后可能的发展方向.

Preparation and Characterization of Attractive Poly(amino acid)Hydrogels Based on 2-Ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone

Self-healing hydrogels with the shear-thinning property are novel injectable materials and are superior to traditional injectable hydrogels.The self-healing hydrogels based on 2-ureido-4[1 H]-pyrimidinone(UPy)have recently received extensive attention due to their dynamic reversibility of UPy dimerization.However,generally,UPy-based self-healing hydrogels exhibit poor stability,cannot degrade in vivo and can hardly be excreted from the body,which considerably limit their bio-application.Here,using poly(l-glutamic acid)(PLGA)as biodegradable matrix,branchingα-hydroxy-ω-amino poly(ethylene oxide)(HAPEO)as bridging molecule to introduce UPy,and ethyl acrylate polyethylene glycol(MAPEG)to introduce double bond,the hydrogel precursors(PMHU)are prepared.A library of the self-healing hydrogels has been achieved with well self-healable and shear-thinning properties.With the increase of MAPEG grafting ratio,the storage modulus of the self-healing hydrogels decreases.The self-healing hydrogels are stable in solution only for 6 h,hard to meet the requirements of tissue regeneration.Consequently,ultraviolet(UV)photo-crosslinking is involved to obtain the dual crosslinking hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties and stability.When MAPEG grafting ratio is 35.5%,the dual crosslinking hydrogels can maintain the shape in phosphate-buffered saline solution(PBS)for at least 8 days.Loading with adipose-derived stem cell spheroids,the self-healing hydrogels are injected and self-heal to a whole,and then they are crosslinked in situ via UV-irradiation,obtaining the dual crosslinking hydrogels/cell spheroids complex with cell viability of 86.7%±6.0%,which demonstrates excellent injectability,subcutaneous gelatinization,and biocompatibility of hydrogels as cell carriers.The novel PMHU hydrogels crosslinked by quadruple hydrogen bonding and then dual photo-crosslinking of double bond are expected to be applied for minimal invasive surgery or therapies in tissue engineering.

强韧型自愈合水凝胶的研究进展

水凝胶作为一种由大量水和与众不同的三维网状结构构成的智能软材料,已经广泛应用于许多领域,如药物输送、软骨修复、废物处理及电子设备等。然而,水凝胶不良的机械性能及自愈合性极大地限制了它们的潜在应用。目前已报道的韧性水凝胶通常不具有或只有很弱的自修复性,而自修复水凝胶通常机械性能非常弱。因此,研发具有高效自修复性能和优异机械性能的水凝胶材料,无论是从学术角度还是工业角度都是非常重要的。本文总结了近些年来强韧型自愈合水凝胶的最新研究进展,从其制备方法、性能等方面进行了简要介绍,并对未来的发展前景进行了展望。

The value and the limitation of concentration of dilute aqueous protein solution by this method was evaluated.

Enzyme responsive supramolecular hydrogels assembled from nonionic peptide amphiphiles

Smart peptide hydrogels are of great interest for their great potential applications. Here, we report a facile approach to prepare a class of enzyme-responsive hydrogels in a scalable manner. These hydrogels self-assemble from a family of nonionic peptide amphiphiles(PAs) synthesized by sequential ring-opening polymerization(ROP) of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride(BLG-NCA) and L-tyrosine N-carboxyanhydride(Tyr-NCA), followed by subsequent aminolysis. These PA samples can readily form a clear hydrogel with a critical gelation concentration as low as 0.5 wt%. The incorporation of tyrosine residues offers hydrophobicity, hydrogen-bonding interaction and enzyme-responsive properties. The hydrogel-to-nanogel transition is observed under physiological conditions in the presence of horseradish peroxidase(HRP) and hydrogen peroxide(H2 O2). The obtained PA hydrogels are ideal candidates for the new generation of smart scaffolds.
