Abstract
An article having increased coefficient of friction in the wet state is produced by applying to a substrate an adherent isocyanate coating followed by a second coating of polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymerized with a minor amount of an ethylenic monomer having active hydrogens and curing the so-coated substrate to effect reaction between the active hydrogens and isocyanate groups. The article is useful in the manufacture of medical devices for insertion in the body.
Description
HYDROPHILIC COATING AND SUBSTRATE COATED THEREWITH
This invention relates to hydrophilic coatings having a lower coefficient of friction in the wet state than in the dry state. The invention also pertains to a process of preparing said coatings and to coated articles produced therefrom.
Hydrophilic coatings which absorb aqueous fluids to form hydrated coatings having a lower coefficient of friction than the precursor dry coatings are known in the art.
Such coatings have various uses, particularly in the field of medicine. For instance, the coatings can be applied to devices or instruments intended for insertion into body tissues or cavities. On contact with body fluids or wet mucous membranes, the coatings undergo hydration becoming very slippery owing to the lowering of the coefficient of friction. In this condition, the coated objects can be easily inserted or removed from the body without causing damage or discomfort to the patient. In the dry state, however, the coated objects are not slippery and can readily be grasped by the hand and generally handled in a normally convenient manner.
An example of the hydrophilic coatings aforesaid is set forth in British Patent No. 1,600,963 to Biomedical
Medical Products, Inc. According to that patent, the coatings comprise a polyvinylpyrrolidone.-polyurethane interpolymer. They are produced by first applying a polyisocyanate and a polyurethane in a solvent to a suitable substrate after which the solvent is evaporated, leaving a surface layer of polyurethanewith unreacted isocyanate groups. The so-treated substrate is then coated with polyvinylpyrollidone to form the pOlyvinylpyrrolidone polyurethane interpolymer.
Although exhibiting increased lubricity in the wet state, the hydrophilic coatings of the British patent have not proved entirely satisfactory. This is not surprising, since according to later issued U.S. Patent No. 4,487,808, which discusses these coatings, their manufacture is too complicated for large-scale production and moreover, the coatings were found to be susceptible to cracking. Another drawback is the presence of unreacted polyvinyl gyrrolidone which can leach out of the coating during use.
Hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone coatings have now been discovered which are an improvement over those of the prior art aforesaid and the provision of said coatings, substrates coated therewith and vinylpyrrolidone polymers used in making the said coatings constitute tie principal object and purpose of the invention. Other objects and purposes will be made manifest subsequently herein.
The hydrophilic coatings of the invention are produced by applying to a substrate having free isocyanate groups, a copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing active hydrogen capable of reacting with the free isocyanate groups attached to the substrate. Chemical reaction is then caused to take place between the isocyanate groups and the reactive hydrogens in the copolymer thereby firmly binding the latter to the substrate. So far as can be ascertained, polyvinylpyrrolidone is not leached from the herein coatings when they are contacted with polar solutions such as alcohol or aqueous media. It is believed that the strong chemical union between the isocyanate groups in the substrate and the reactive hydrogens in the ethylenic monomer prevents leaching of the polyvinylpyrrolidone.In the reference coatings, on the other hand, the polyvinylpyrrolidone is apparently rather feebly bound to the polyurethane/polyisocyanate interlayer on the substrate. This is thought to be due to the polyvinylpyrrolidone being bound to the interlayer by physical rather than chemical forces; that is, there is no chemical reaction of polyvinylpyrrolidone with an isocyanate. But whatever the explanation, the fact remains that the reference coatings are subject to leaching of the polyvinylpyrrolidone.
The N-vinylpyrrolidone copolymers of the invention are obtained by the copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having active hydrogens of the type that react with an organic isocyanate.
The polymerization is carried out in the known manner.
Typically, the monomers are dissolved in a solvent containing a polymerization initiator and the solution heated to mildly elevated temperatures, generally in the range of about 35 0C to about 1000C. Completion of the reaction is effected by heating for a few hours, usually about 2 to 8 hours. The copolymer is recovered by removal of the solvent which is desirably an organic liquid boiling in the range of about 350C to about 1300C. Examples of such solvents include methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, isopropyl ether, chloroform, methylene chloride, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and the like. Suitable polymerization initiators include any source of free radicals such as for example, azobisisobutyronitrile, peroxygen compounds such as hydrocarbon peroxide diisopropyl percarbonate, benzoyl peroxide and the like.
As previously pointed out herein, the N-vinylpyrrolidone copolymers of the invention contain active hydrogens which react with the isocyanate groups in the substrate.
This results in a chemical bonding to the substrate of coatings prepared from the N-vinylpyrollidone copolymers.
The reactive hydrogens are in the form of functional substituents attached to an ethylenically unsaturated monomer. Generally speaking, the amount of ethylenic monomer that is required to properly bond the copolymer to the substrate is relatively minor compared to the N-vinylpyrrolidone which constitutes the major portion of the copolymer. A satisfactory numerical monomer ratio for preparing the copolymers is about 2% to about 10% ethylenic monomer and about 908 to about 98% N-vinylpyrrolidone.
The active hydrogens in the monomer typically occur in such functional entities as -OH, =NH, -COOH and -SH.
Examples of the ethylenic monomers aforesaid include allyl alcohol, methallyl alcohol, acrylic acid and lower hydroxyalkyl esters thereof such as 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, methacrylic acid and lower hydroxyalkyl esters thereof such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethylthioacrylate, N-hydroxyethylacrylamide, 2-butene-l-carboxylic acid, 2-hydroxyethyl ester and the like.
The substrate may be any material of the requisite structural integrity but is commonly a metal or a polymer such as polyurethane, vinyl resin as exemplified by polyvinyl chloride, a polyacrylate, such as polymethylmethacrylate, a polycarbonate, a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polytetramethylene terephthalate as well as various rubbery polymers such as polyisoprene and latex. Isocyanate groups are applied to the substrate by coating it with a solution of a polyisocyanate by means of known coating techniques such as dipping, spraying or the like and then evaporating the solvent, preferably by air drying leaving a film of the polyisocyanate on the surface of the surface. Examples of polyisocyanates are polyphenyl isocyanate, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and 2,4-toluene diisocyanate.Desirably, the polyisocyanate coating solution contains a film forming material to enhance toughness and adherency of the dried polyisocyanate coating. More desirably, however, the coating is formed from a polyurethane prepolymer of the type obtained by condensing a resin having active hydrogens with an excess of a polyisocyanate. Such isocyanate terminated prepolymers are well .nown in the polyurethane art and their description including preparation and uses as coating materials are documented extensively in the patent and technical literature; cf. "The Development and Use of Polyurethane
Products" by E. N. Doyle (1971) published by McGraw-Hill, Inc.
Illustrative of the resins used in preparing polyurethane prepolymers include polyether polyols such as polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polylactones and the like. A particularly large class of active hydrogen polyols are the polyol polyesters which can be generally described as the reaction product of a polycarboxylic acid and a polyhydroxy compound. Examples of the polyhydroxy compounds include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, glycerine, and the like. The polycarboxylic acid is commonly a dicarboxylic acid, particularly an aliphatic acid of 5 to 8 carbon atoms, adipic acid being a typical member that is often employed in the manufacture of polyol polyesters.In some instances, a small amount of a low molecular weight diol as for example, 1,4-butanediol may be added to the polyol resin in the preparation of the herein polyurethane prepolymers. A preferred isocyanate terminated prepolymer derived from a polyether polyol is obtained by reacting a major amount of a polyoxyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of from about 1000 to about 8000 or mixtures thereof, a minor amount of diethylene glycol and excess polyisocyanate such R as DESMODUR W (Mobay). Exemplary polyoxyethylene glycols are the various carbowaxes available in a range of molecular weights from the Union Carbide Corporation.
R
Representative carbowaxes are PEG (CARBOWAX 1450R) and PEG rr (CARBOWAX 8000R) in which numbers refer to molecular weights. Such simple diols function as chain extenders and modifiers. For further details on the manufacture and use of urethane polymers, see the aforecited "The Development and Use of Polyurethane Products".
The isocyanate is applied to the substrate in a solvent that does not react with isocyanate groups. Suitable solvents include alkyl chlorides such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride; ethyl acetate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and alkyl ethers. The solvent is desirably a liquid at ordinary temperatures and pressures.
The isocyanate solution can be of any concentration but is conveniently applied to the substrate at a solids content of from about 2% to 15% by weight, generally at about 3% to about 78. Application of the isocyanate solution is by the usual procedures, commonly by dipping or spraying. The coating is air-dried to effect evaporation of solvent; normally, drying times are from about 5 to 60 minutes. Adherence of the isocyanate to certain substrates such as rubber latex can be improved by pretreatment with a swelling solvent or the isocyanate can be dissolved in a solvent that exhibits a swelling action on the surface.
After evaporation of the isocyanate solvent, there remains a strong, adherent film of the isocyanate on the surface of the substrate. This is then overcoated by dipping or spraying with a solution of the N-vinylpyrollidone copolymer and the so-coated substrate subjected to air drying until the solvent is evaporated. The solvent for the N-vinylpyrrolidone copolymer is desirably an organic liquid which is relatively easy to evaporate at room or slightly elevated temperatures. Exemplary solvents for the copolymer are chlorinated alkanes such as dichloroethane and methylene chloride. Following removal of the solvent, there remains on the isocyanate coated substrate, an outer film of the N-vinylpyrrolidone copolymer.
The coated substrated aforesaid is heated to curing temperatures, preferably between about 500C and 1100C, whereby the free isocyanate groups in the inner coating react with the active hydrogen in the ethylenic monomer units of the N-vinylpyrrolidone copolymer. This chemical union firmly binds the outer polyvinylpyrrolidone to the inner isocyanate coating. On contact with aqueous media, the outer surface of the substrate undergoes hydration with concomitant increase in the coefficient of friction of the wetted surface. There was no leaching of ingredients from the coating into the aqueous media.
The coated substrates of the invention are useful as catheters, implant devices, contact lenses, peristaltic pump chambers, condoms, arteriovenous shunts, gastroenteric feed tubes, endotracheal tubes and the like.
The invention is illustrated further hy the following examples in which the quantities are ports by weight.
