Description

Preparation method of magnetic polymer microsphere with double-layer shell structure
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of magnetic polymer microspheres with a double-layer shell structure.
Background
The magnetic polymer microsphere not only has the characteristics of non-toxicity and superparamagnetism of the magnetic inorganic nanoparticles, but also has the characteristics of polarity, biocompatibility, easy surface functionalization and the like of the polymer, and has wide application in many fields, particularly in biological detection and in-vitro diagnostic reagents. The magnetic microspheres for diagnostic reagents are required to have uniform particle size, fast magnetic response, good suspension property and low non-specific adsorption to biological macromolecules such as protein, nucleic acid and the like.
Among the disclosed preparation methods of magnetic polymer microspheres, the template method has become the mainstream preparation method of commercialized magnetic polymer microspheres due to the advantages of high process stability, uniform product particle size, strong magnetic responsiveness, surface multifunctionalization and the like. Patent document US8038987B2 discloses a method for preparing coated magnetic polymer particles, which utilizes nitrified porous polystyrene microspheres as a template, and then iron salt and manganese salt are coprecipitated into the porous microspheres to prepare the magnetic polymer microspheres. Similarly, patent document US20170218095 discloses a three-step process for producing superparamagnetic polymeric microspheres, which comprises synthesizing seeds of low molecular weight polystyrene microspheres by emulsion polymerization, swelling and crosslinking the seeds to obtain porous crosslinked polystyrene microspheres, finally nitrating benzene rings in the microspheres with a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, and using the nitrated microspheres together with ammonia (25%) and ferrous sulfate heptahydrate in the subsequent magnetization step. In the above-described magnetization process, the adsorption, deposition and centrifugation operations must be repeated in a laborious and time-consuming manner in order to deposit as many iron nanoparticles as possible in the nitrated microspheres. Also, each pair of 5g of dried polystyrene microspheres was nitrated, consuming 125mL of a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, which caused serious environmental problems. Most importantly, free iron nanoparticles and iron ions generated by the free iron nanoparticles exist in a reaction system all the time, so that the practical application effect of the product microspheres is limited.
In order to further solve the above problems, researchers have further explored the surface encapsulation process of magnetic polymer microspheres. Patent document CN108467461a discloses a method for preparing surface carboxyl core-shell superparamagnetic microspheres, which comprises preparing polyglycidyl methacrylate microspheres by emulsion polymerization, preparing large-size monodisperse porous polyglycidyl methacrylate microspheres by one-step seed swelling polymerization, preparing monodisperse superparamagnetic microspheres in situ by using an iron salt deposition-alkaline coprecipitation method, and performing surface carboxyl modification on the magnetic microspheres by distillation precipitation polymerization. The method carries out polymer encapsulation on the surface of the magnetic microsphere and simultaneously finishes functional modification. However, in the packaging process, the used monomer is hydrophilic monomer such as methacrylic acid or acrylic acid, and the single-layer hydrophilic copolymer coating obtained by distillation, precipitation and polymerization in acetonitrile has very limited improvement on the stability of the product microsphere. Patent document US5814687a discloses a method for testing leakage of ferric ions in magnetic polymer microspheres, which comprises: almost no superparamagnetic substance exists near the surface of the magnetic polymer microspheres, and when 1g of the magnetic polymer microspheres are soaked in 10mL of water at 70 ℃ for 2 hours, the amount of metal dissolved in the solvent must be 10mg/L or less. Experiments prove that after the magnetic polymer microspheres prepared by the method disclosed in the patent document CN108467461A are treated by the steps, the amount of iron ions dissolved in the solvent is far greater than 10mg/L, namely the problem of iron ion leakage still exists.

Comparative example 3
Comparative example 3 the preparation method of the magnetic polymeric microspheres was substantially identical to the method of example 3, with the only difference that comparative example 3 did not perform the first polymerization encapsulation of the magnetic polymeric microsphere precursor, but performed the encapsulation of the hydrophilic polymeric coating directly on the magnetic polymeric microsphere precursor.
Quantitative experiment of iron ion leakage: 1g of the magnetic polymer microspheres prepared in comparative example 3 was weighed, dispersed in 30mL of water, and stirred continuously for 2h in a water bath at 70 ℃. After stirring, taking out the magnetic polymer microspheres, mixing the magnetic polymer microspheres with 40mL of water, 1mL of a 25wt% hydrochloric acid aqueous solution and 3mL of hydroxylamine hydrochloride with the concentration of 100mg/L, continuously stirring for 1-2 h in a 70 ℃ water bath, cooling to room temperature, adding a small piece of Congo red test paper, dropwise adding a saturated sodium acetate solution until the Congo red test paper just turns red, adding 5mL of a buffer solution (the buffer solution is formed by mixing 40g of acetic acid and 50mL of glacial acid and then diluting with water to 100 mL) and 2mL of a phenanthroline solution, developing for 15min after stirring uniformly, adjusting to zero with a blank by using a 10mm cuvette, measuring absorbance at 510nm, and determining the content of free iron ions in the system through standard curve comparison.
TABLE 1 quantitative test results for iron ion leakage of magnetic polymer microspheres
Numbering Leakage amount of iron ion (mg/L) Magnetic content (mg/mg)
Example 1 8 18.9
Example 2 5 25.6
Example 3 2 28.4
Comparative example 1 65 14.1
Comparative example 2 230 33.2
Comparative example 3 77 19.7
As can be seen from Table 1, the magnetic polymer microsphere prepared by the method has good monodispersity and high magnetic content, the leakage amount of iron ions in the system is less than 10mg/L, the packaging coating with the hydrophobic-hydrophilic double-layer shell structure has a reliable stabilizing effect on the magnetic polymer microsphere, and the problem of iron ion leakage in the practical application process of the magnetic polymer microsphere is solved. The experimental results of comparative examples 1 and 3 show that the packaging effect of the monolayer hydrophilic copolymer coating on the magnetic polymer microspheres is far lower than that of a combined coating mode of a double-layer shell structure or even a multilayer shell structure.
