Description

Processing method and application of micron-sized biological material fiber
Technical Field
The invention relates to a processing method and application of micron-sized biological material fibers, belonging to the field of processing of biological material fiber yarns.
Background
Cell therapy, regenerative medicine or tissue engineering generally utilizes biomaterial scaffolds as carriers to implant and control cell growth. The micron-sized filamentous biomaterial scaffold, especially the micron fiber prepared from natural protein or polysaccharide extracted from biological tissues, can provide biochemical signals and biomechanical stimulation for cells simulating three-dimensional environment of human body, and simultaneously provide sufficient nutrition supply and growth space for the cells, so the protein or polysaccharide micron fiber has wide application prospect in the fields of cell therapy, regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. However, the existing micron fiber processing method is too long to meet the clinical application requirements, and more importantly, the existing processing method has strict requirements on the physical and chemical properties of materials and is not suitable for natural materials extracted from biological tissues, such as protein and polysaccharide.
Currently common processing methods include electrospinning, melt spinning, wet spinning, and 3D printing. Electrostatic spinning: static electricity is formed on a drop of liquid after a sufficiently high voltage is applied to the drop. The repulsive force between the charges counteracts the surface tension of the liquid, causing the droplets to elongate and form fibers. Melt spinning: and (3) passing the high molecular polymer melt through the small holes to form melt trickle, and solidifying the melt trickle into fibers. Such as the production of cotton candy. Wet spinning: the high molecular polymer is dissolved in a solvent, and the solution is sprayed into a coagulating bath through a spray head, so that the high molecular polymer is separated out to form fibers. 3D printing: the high molecular polymer is dissolved in a solvent, and is made into ink by using an additive to print a strip-shaped structure.
The processing method has the following defects: electrostatic spinning: 1. only materials with a certain conductivity can be processed, but the protein solution is not conductive. 2. The spinning speed is too slow, and the spinning method is only suitable for a small amount of use in a laboratory and cannot be used for clinical scale production. 3. Collecting the fibers can cause the fibers to adhere to each other and prevent uniform three-dimensional cell encapsulation. Melt spinning: 1. only materials with a specific melting point can be processed, but such high temperatures can destroy the chemical structure of the protein. 2. The resulting fiber diameter is typically above 20 microns. 3. The accuracy is poor. 4. Cells cannot be encapsulated uniformly. Wet spinning: 1. only materials with specific solubility and precipitation properties can be processed. 2. The resulting fiber diameter is typically over 50 microns, much larger than the cell size. 3. The production efficiency is low. 3D printing: 1. the "ink" is required to have a specific viscosity and melting point to be printable. 2. The fiber diameter produced is limited by the jet size and "drop" spread, typically above 100 microns, much larger than the cell size. 3. The cost of equipment required to print fine fibers rises dramatically and the time taken is exponentially increased.
Disclosure of Invention

step three, folding the ring in half, overlapping the two halves together, continuously extruding and stretching the ring, and simultaneously enlarging the radius;
repeating the above steps, folding for N times to increase the biological material in the hollow rod 2NMultiple, 2 of the original diameter reduced in diameter0.5NOne-fourth;
fourthly, after the ring is folded to the required size, the ring is placed in cold water or air to be cooled and solidified;
2) fiber treatment:
firstly, cutting a required length from a ring, and dissolving a pseudoplastic material by using an organic solvent to obtain a remaining material which is a biological material;
secondly, putting the biological material into a methanol solvent, adding a cross-linking agent, and fully mixing to cross-link the biological material fibers;
thirdly, fully cleaning the crosslinked biomaterial fiber by using an organic solvent to reduce the concentration of the crosslinking agent to a specified concentration;
3) and (4) storing the fibers.
As a refinement, the biological material is protein or polysaccharide.
