The invention discloses a high-strength antibacterial regenerated silk
fibroin hydrogel
fiber and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of biomedical materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: extracting regenerated silk
fibroin, preparing a
spinning solution, and carrying out wet
spinning, orientation traction and antibacterial
zinc ion adsorption. According to the antibacterial hydrogel
fiber and the preparation method thereof, the
fiber is formed through orientation traction coagulating bath and then recrystallized and cured, the
mechanical property of the hydrogel fiber is remarkably improved, the
breaking strength can reach 726-804 MPa, the
crystallinity is 44.64%-47.98%, the beta-folding content is 68.45%-85.12%, and the antibacterial hydrogel fiber has a remarkable
antibacterial effect. The preparation process is simple, free of
organic solvent residues, convenient to operate, stable in method and easy to implement. The wet
spinning technology is combined with
zinc ion cross-linking coordination and loading, so that the high strength and
antibacterial property of the fiber are synergistically improved, and meanwhile, the high requirements of biomedical materials on mechanical properties and
biocompatibility are met.
