Preparation method of high-strength composite hydrogel
Technical Field
The invention relates to a high-strength composite hydrogel, in particular to a preparation method of a high-strength double-network self-repairing hydrogel.
Background
Hydrogels are materials with a three-dimensional network structure formed by chemically or physically crosslinking hydrophilic polymers. The hydrogel has the characteristics of hydrophilicity, high water content, stimulation responsiveness and the like, can be endowed with more functionality by introducing functional monomers, polymers or loaded small molecules, and has wide application in the fields of biomedicine, metal catalysis and the like. Most hydrogels have poor strength and toughness and poor resistance to external mechanical forces, which limits the application range of hydrogels to some extent. The preparation of hydrogels with better mechanical properties by relatively simple methods has been one of the main problems that researchers need to solve.
Interpenetrating network hydrogels have a relatively special preparation method, generally by polymerizing two or more independent polymers one after another, interpenetrating them with each other to form an interpenetrating network structure. Compared with the hydrogel prepared by copolymer or homopolymer, the interpenetrating network hydrogel has better mechanical property. The physical crosslinked hydrogel is a polymer network formed by non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen bonds, van der waals force, metal coordination and the like, and the physical crosslinking points are generally dynamically reversible and can self-repair under certain conditions after being damaged. Chemically crosslinked hydrogels are crosslinked by covalent bonds and cannot be reconstituted after destruction. The hybridized crosslinking hydrogel through chemical crosslinking and physical crosslinking combines the self-repairing performance of the physical crosslinking hydrogel and the mechanical performance of the chemical crosslinking hydrogel, and has better comprehensive performance. The Chinese invention patent CN106750478B firstly prepares gelatin hydrogel with imidazole active sites, and then adopts divalent metal ion salt solution to soak the gelatin hydrogel, so that divalent metal ions are coordinated with the imidazole active sites, and the high-strength double-network antibacterial hydrogel is prepared.
