[0036] Preparation of porous temperature-sensitive microspheres formed by polyethylene glycol 1,000 molecules at a concentration of 1:1 (polyethylene glycol 1,000: N-isopropylacrylamide), based on the microfluidic chip produced in Example 1 Proceed: Add 1,000 molecules of polyethylene glycol to the monomer solution, and its mass is twice that of N-isopropylacrylamide. Add 0.4 g of polyethylene glycol 1,000 to it, and dissolve it as a monomer solution. Among them, the flow rate of the monomer and initiator was adjusted to 0.5 μL / min, and the flow rate of the oil phase (FC-40) was adjusted to 1.2 μL / min. The synthesized microspheres were taken out from the collection pool 5, and then soaked in deionized water for 3 day, and change the water at regular intervals to remove the polyethylene glycol molecules dissolved from the microspheres, and the obtained porous thermosensitive microspheres are investigated in the same way as above for thermosensitive properties (such as Figure ...

[0039] Prepare different fast-response temperature-sensitive porous microspheres with the same molecular weight and different concentrations of polyethylene glycol: on the basis of Example 2, 10,000 molecules of polyethylene glycol with 3 different concentrations were added to the monomer solution, which was mixed with N- The mass ratios of isopropylacrylamide are 0.5:1, 1:1, and 2:1, that is, when a 1mL solution is prepared, 0.2g of N-isopropylacrylamide, 0.1g, 0.2g, and 0.4 g Polyethylene glycol 10,000 molecules. When synthesizing microspheres, adjust the concentration of monomer and initiator to 0.5 μL / min, and the flow rate of the oil phase (FC-40) to 1 μL / min. Soak in water for 3 days, and change the water in stages to remove polyethylene glycol molecules of different concentrations, and investigate the temperature-sensitive properties of the prepared porous microspheres (such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown) and electron microscope scanning of the surface topography (...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing hydrogel microspheres, in particular to a method for preparing temperature-sensitive porous microspheres based on microfluidic technology. Background technique [0002] Thermosensitive hydrogels are a type of gel whose swelling ratio changes suddenly (phase transition) at a certain temperature, and the temperature at which the swelling ratio changes suddenly is called the phase transition temperature. [0003] At present, the technologies used to synthesize hydrogel microspheres mainly include selective solvent evaporation method, extraction method, microemulsion polymerization method, radiation precipitation polymerization method, polymer dilute solution irradiation method, etc. These technical methods can simply synthesize hydrogel microspheres with a phase transition temperature, but the particle size of the formed microspheres is not uniform. Microfluidic technology has become the preferred technolog...
