A Facile and Cost-Effective Method to Prepare Biodegradable Poly(ester urethane)s with Ordered Aliphatic Hard-Segments for Promising Medical Application as Long-Term Implants

The article below describes a simple methodology to prepare cost-effective biodegradable poly(ester urethane)s (PEUs) with ordered hard segments (OHS) for medical application as long-term implants. A low-cost diurethane diol (1,4-butanediol-hexanediisocyanate-1,4-butanediol, BHB) was first designed...

description The article below describes a simple methodology to prepare cost-effective biodegradable poly(ester urethane)s (PEUs) with ordered hard segments (OHS) for medical application as long-term implants. A low-cost diurethane diol (1,4-butanediol-hexanediisocyanate-1,4-butanediol, BHB) was first designed and synthesized. Consequently, the BHB was employed as a chain extender to react with NCO-terminated poly(ε-caprolactone) to obtain PEUs. The molecular structural formats for BHB and PEUs were defined through NMR, FT-IR, and MS together with GPC, while the influence of OHS content on physical/chemical features for casted PEU films was investigated. The introduction of OHS could contribute to forming denser hydrogen-bonds, and consequently produce a compact network structure, resulting in great tensile capacity, low water absorption, and slow hydrolytic degradation rate by PEU films. PEU-2.0 films, which possessed the highest OHS content within PEUs, exhibited 40.6 MPa tensile strength together with 477% elongation at break, 4.3 wt % equilibrium water absorption and only 29.5% weight loss post-12 months’ degradation. In addition, cytotoxicity analysis of film extracts indicated that the cell viability of all PEUs containing OHS exceeded 75%, indicating good cytocompatibility. Due to outstanding tensile features, high biostability, nontoxic and absorbable degradation products and acceptable cytocompatibility, the cost-effective materials exhibited promising applications in the field of long-term implants.
