PH-sensitive medical polyurethane urea material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological material preparation, particularly relates to the field of intelligent medical high polymer materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of pH-sensitive medical polyurethane urea.
Background
The intelligent high polymer material can respond to the stimulus of the surrounding environment correspondingly and simultaneously has certain property changes. In the 21 st century, the application of intelligent polyurethane has attracted extensive attention, and this intelligent polyurethane material has found wide application in bioseparation, actuators, controlled drug release and regenerative medicine. The uniqueness of smart polyurethanes is not only that subtle stimuli can cause changes in their structure, but also that these changes are reversible, such as the shape, surface characteristics, reaction rate, and recognition properties of the polymer. External environmental stimuli can cause such changes as: temperature, pH, ionic strength, electric field, magnetic field, light, radiation force, and the like.
In recent years, polymer membranes with pH response characteristics have shown wide application prospects in the fields of membrane separation, drug sustained release, chemical/biological sensors and the like, so the research on intelligent membranes with sensing and response functions to the change of external environmental conditions is increasingly emphasized. The pH sensitive polyurethane is a polyurethane material with the volume capable of changing with the pH and the ionic strength of the environment. The macromolecular network of the polyurethane has ionic dissociation groups, the network structure and the charge density change along with the pH of a medium, the osmotic pressure of the polyurethane is influenced, and the volume change is caused by the change of the ionic strength because of the ionic groups in the network. The polyurethane has weak acid or (and) weak base groups (such as carboxyl or amino). These groups ionize in solutions of different pH and different ionic strength, and the polyurethane then becomes charged, breaking down the hydrogen bonds in the network, resulting in a discontinuous volume change of the polyurethane.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a water-soluble polymer material with high hydrophilicity and flexibility, and on one hand, the PEG can form a hydrated PEG chain with water to form stable steric hindrance and prevent platelets and the like from being adsorbed on the surface of the material; on the other hand, hydrated PEG chains have lower surface energy in water, and the formed water microflows can hinder the adhesion and deformation of proteins. In addition, the polyurethane with PEG as the soft segment has slow degradation speed, and can be used for a long time in a human body to play the role.
Pyridine is a Lewis base, the N atom of the pyridine ring being able to react with H+Combined under acidic conditions to form NH+Removal of H under alkaline conditions+. Pyridine rings are introduced into the skeleton of polyurethane to synthesize a polymer. In this system, the polymer will deprotonate and protonate with the pyridine ring, exhibiting high pH sensitivity, excellent shape memory and biocompatibility by associating and dissociating hydrogen bonds and hydrogen bond interactions between nitrogen atoms. The polyurethane has great potential for medical applications.

The synthesis method introduces carboxyl in the molecular structure of polyurethane, and the polyurethane expands in an alkaline medium, so that the degradation rate is high.
Patent CN105859995A discloses a preparation method of intelligent response type polyurethane hydrogel. And adding aliphatic isocyanate, a chain extender with an alkaline sensitive group and a cross-linking agent into the synthesized polyurethane prepolymer to generate the polyurethane hydrogel. The method is temperature and pH dual intelligent response type polyurethane hydrogel prepared by oriented polymerization, the time for the synthesized polyurethane to reach the swelling balance in deionized water is short, but the preparation method is complex, the carried dihydric alcohol with an alkaline sensitive functional group is an aromatic compound, the degradation product of the dihydric alcohol has certain toxicity to organisms, and the medical use is limited.
