Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic synthetic polymers, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a high-throughput blood-compatible polyimide separation membrane. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of biomedical technology, blood compatibility has become a key criterion for evaluating the suitability of polymer materials for applications in biomaterials and medical devices. As a biopolymer with a unique chemical structure, internal salt polymers have excellent blood compatibility and antifouling properties, thereby improving the efficiency of blood separation and purification and enhancing therapeutic effects, and have attracted widespread attention in the field of bioclinical medicine. Among them, the long-term anticoagulant performance and blood compatibility of blood-contact materials are two important issues for their application in bio-contact materials in medical devices. It is necessary to improve the hydrophilicity and blood compatibility of polymer materials to make them stable and functionalized, and then solve this problem to achieve long-lasting antifouling and anticoagulant effects. Functionalized polymers exhibit excellent blood compatibility due to their strong hydrophilicity, charge neutrality and high solubility. When in contact with biological fluids, they can significantly reduce protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion, thereby minimizing biocompatibility issues and reducing the risk of thrombosis.
[0003] Polyimide (PI) materials are a class of biomedical organic polymers that have attracted widespread attention. Due to their excellent chemical stability, mechanical properties, thermal stability, and biocompatibility, they are widely used in implantable medical devices, medical catheters, bioelectronic devices, drug delivery, and other fields. They can also withstand various sterilization processes. Due to their rigid structure and inherent hydrophobicity, PI membrane surfaces are susceptible to bacterial and protein adsorption, which can easily lead to biofilm contamination, inflammation, coagulation, and thrombosis, limiting their application. Therefore, the development of novel polymer materials with durable anti-contamination properties and improved blood compatibility is of great significance.
[0004] Existing phosphate polymers employ a configuration where phosphate groups anchor the polymer chain and choline groups are free, resulting in limited surface charge distribution and dynamic hydration capacity, significantly weakening antifouling properties (such as protein adsorption resistance) and long-term stability. This is because the free choline groups cannot effectively cooperate with the phosphate groups to form a stable hydration layer, thereby reducing biomimetic affinity with biomembrane components. Through innovative molecular structure design and functional modification, we have successfully enhanced the material's functional properties by bonding the choline groups to the polymer backbone and distributing the phosphate groups in a free state.
[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to construct a high-throughput blood-compatible polyimide separation membrane with structural biomimetic, anti-fouling, stability and high blood compatibility. Summary of the Invention

[0092] Hemolysis rate test:
[0093] Whole blood was separated by centrifugation and red blood cell standard solution was prepared. 1×1 cm 2 The membrane was placed in a well plate, 2 mL of red blood cell suspension was added, and the cells were incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. The cells were centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected and the absorbance at 540 nm was measured.

[0098] Complement activation assay:
[0099] Complement activation of membrane samples was studied in vitro using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The specific steps were as follows: wash 1 × 1 cm 2 After three incubations, the membrane samples were immersed in a 24-well plate at 37°C for 2 hours and 2 mL of saline was added. After equilibration, 1 mL of whole blood was added to each sample. Finally, the samples were incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. The whole blood was centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes to obtain plasma. C3a and C5a concentrations were measured using an ELSA assay kit. A control group, without membrane addition, was measured using the same method.
[0100] The experimental results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in (b), the concentrations of anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a in the blood can indicate the extent of complement activation and can be quantified using an ELISA kit. i The concentrations of C3a and C5a on Pr membranes are low, thereby inhibiting complement activation.
[0101] Complete coagulation time test
[0102] The free hemoglobin method is used to evaluate the anticoagulant performance of the membrane by measuring the coagulation time of whole blood. The specific steps are as follows: 5 mL of fresh rabbit blood is activated with 500 μL of CaCl2 solution (0.1 mol / L), and then 100 μL of the activated blood is added to the membrane surface (1×1 cm 2 After incubation at 37°C for 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, 2.5 mL of deionized water was added to the 24-well plate to stop the reaction. The absorbance of free hemoglobin in deionized water was measured at 540 nm. The membrane coagulation index can be quantified using Equation 4:
[0103]
[0104] A 样品 is the absorbance of the sample solution;
[0105] A 血液 is the absorbance of fresh blood.
[0106] Fresh rabbit blood was used to study the complete coagulation time and evaluate the anticoagulant properties of the membrane. A higher coagulation index indicated that the material had excellent anticoagulant properties.
[0107] The experimental results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in (c), with the increase of clotting time, the coagulation index values of all membranes gradually decreased. At 20 minutes, the coagulation index of the control FPI membrane dropped to 12.34%, while that of the ZFPI-Me / Et / i The coagulation index of the Pr membrane remained at about 53.29%, significantly exceeding that of the control membrane. i Pr membrane has significant anticoagulant properties.
[0108] Plasma recalcification time
[0109] Plasma recalcification time (PRT) is a technically valuable indicator for simulating the in vitro coagulation process. Membranes in contact with blood can activate the intrinsic coagulation cascade. A longer PRT indicates enhanced anticoagulant properties of the membrane. The specific experimental steps are as follows:
[0110] The membrane samples were washed multiple times with saline and immersed in a 24-well plate at 37°C for 1 hour. 2 mL of saline was then added. After equilibration, 500 μL of fresh plasma was dropped onto the sample surface. The samples were then incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. The incubated plasma and 100 μL of a CaCl₂ aqueous solution were then transferred to a 96-well plate for recalcification. The absorbance at 405 nm was measured at 30-second intervals at 37°C using a microplate reader to measure the time to reach this absorbance.
[0111] The experimental results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in (d), ZFPI-Me / Et / i The Pr membrane significantly improved the anticoagulant ability, with a PRT value of 25-28 minutes, compared to 15 minutes for the control membrane. The results showed that the improvement of hydrophilicity contributes to the excellent anticoagulant performance.
[0112] Antiplatelet adhesion test
[0113] Platelets were obtained by centrifuging whole blood at 1500rpm for 5 minutes. The membrane sample was placed in a 24-well plate, rinsed three times with PBS solution, and soaked for 2 hours. The sample was removed from the above solution, platelets were gradually dripped into it, and incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. The sample was removed and rinsed with PBS solution to remove the platelets adsorbed on the membrane surface. The platelets were fixed by treating the membrane with 2.5wt% glutaraldehyde at ambient temperature. Subsequently, the sample was dehydrated using gradient concentrations of ethanol. After freeze-drying, the adhesion of platelets to the PES membrane was observed using SEM.
[0114] Platelet adhesion is one of the key indicators for evaluating the anticoagulant performance of materials. Figure 5 As shown in (e), compared with the control group, ZFPI-Me / Et / i Only a small amount of platelets remained on the surface of the Pr membrane. i Pr membrane has excellent anti-platelet adhesion and anti-coagulation properties.
[0115] Based on the above embodiments and test data, through molecular structure innovation (such as Figure 1 As shown by NMR and IR characterization, the phosphorylcholine zwitterionic group was covalently bonded to the polyimide side chain, achieving the following breakthroughs:
[0116] 1) Thermal stability is significantly improved, and TGA shows that the 5% thermal decomposition temperature reaches 385℃ ( Figure 2 a) Meet the requirements of high temperature sterilization;
[0117] 2) The mechanical properties were optimized, and the elongation at break of the ZFPI-Me membrane reached 46.5% (Table 1), meeting the mechanical strength requirements for repeated cleaning of the separation membrane;
[0118] 3) Breakthrough in antifouling performance, BSA protein adsorption is lower than that of the control group ( Figure 3 a), the adhesion rate of E. coli decreased ( Figure 4 ), confirming its excellent anti-biofouling properties;
[0119] 4) Blood compatibility leaps, hemolysis rate <3% ( Figure 5 a), plasma recalcification time was extended to 28 minutes ( Figure 5 d), platelet adhesion decreased by 89% ( Figure 5 e), fully meeting the GB / T 16886 standard for blood-contact materials. These innovative achievements effectively address technical bottlenecks such as protein adsorption and thrombosis caused by the strong hydrophobicity of traditional polyimide membranes, demonstrating significant advantages in applications such as hemodialysis and biological wastewater treatment.
