Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of antibacterial surfaces, and in particular to a coating material based on AgNPs, QCs and zwitterions with synergistic antibacterial and antifouling functions and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of clinical technology, the use of clinical implants has increased, and the number of implant-related complications has also gradually increased. Implant-associated infection (IAI) is a difficult problem faced by clinical practice. Once it occurs, a second operation is often required to remove the implant. This process can cause great harm to the patient and directly lead to the failure of the previous surgery. In addition, the cost of subsequent supportive treatment is high, the patient suffers greatly, and the prognosis is poor. The main methods for preventing implant-associated infection in clinical practice include strengthening aseptic operation and the use of prophylactic systemic antibiotics before and after surgery. However, the level of hospitals at all levels is uneven, the level of aseptic operation varies, and the postoperative infection rate in lower-level hospitals remains high; the use of prophylactic systemic antibiotics cannot achieve ideal local drug concentrations, resulting in poor results.

[0003] In recent years, a variety of clinically available implants with antimicrobial coatings have emerged. Conventional antimicrobial implants are coated with only antimicrobial ingredients, which can lead to a series of problems. While simple antibiotic coatings can kill most bacteria early on, the subsequent development of drug-resistant infections is difficult to overcome. Simple antimicrobial ingredients (such as silver coatings) have strong local cytotoxicity, causing in situ aseptic inflammation and inhibiting wound healing. Furthermore, the initial burst of drug release caused by simple coatings can shorten the duration of drug efficacy, resulting in poor antimicrobial efficacy later in life. Furthermore, these antimicrobial implants are ineffective against bacterial biofilm formation. Bacterial biofilms are membrane-like aggregates formed by bacteria adhering to surfaces and enveloping themselves in an extracellular matrix. These biofilms are highly resistant and invasive, making modern treatments ineffective. Preventing biofilm formation is currently the most effective treatment for biofilm infections. Once biofilm formation is inhibited, further application of antimicrobial active ingredients to kill free bacteria can synergistically achieve a significant anti-infection effect. To this end, the present invention designs a coating material with synergistic antibacterial and antifouling functions based on AgNPs, QCs and zwitterions, in which the surface zwitterion coating layer has a strong antibacterial adhesion effect, while AgNPs and QCs play a synergistic bactericidal effect, which is used to solve the increasingly serious problem of implant-related infection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a coating material with synergistic antibacterial and antifouling functions based on AgNPs, QCs and zwitterions and a preparation method thereof, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology and combining the advantages of various materials and processes.

[0005] The present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0006] A coating material based on AgNPs, QCs and zwitterions with synergistic antibacterial and antifouling functions is disclosed. The material comprises a first layer of polydopamine (PDA) coating, a second layer of nanosilver-graphene oxide (AgNPs-GO) coating, a third layer of PDA coating, and a fourth layer of quaternized chitosan (QCs) coating with a PGS copolymer grafted on its surface, formed in sequence on a substrate using a multi-step impregnation method. The PGS / QCs / PDA / AgNPs-GO / PDA coating material is obtained. The PGS copolymer is prepared by copolymerization of zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and glycidyl acrylate (GMA).

[0007] The PGS / QCs / PDA / AgNPs-GO / PDA coating material was prepared using a multi-step impregnation method. The specific preparation steps include the following:

[0008] 1) After cleaning the base material, perform surface oxidation treatment on it according to the material characteristics;

[0009] 2) preparing a Tris-HCl solution of DA (pH = 8.5), immersing the substrate in the Tris-HCl solution of DA, and forming a first layer of PDA coating on the substrate surface through the self-polymerization reaction of DA;

[0010] 3) Prepare GO aqueous dispersion under ultrasound, vortex oscillation and ultra-high speed stirring conditions, then slowly add silver nitrate solution under light-proof and ultrasound conditions, and obtain Ag after ultra-high speed stirring. + -GO dispersion. The sample prepared in step 2) was immersed in the above Ag + -GO dispersion, PDA was used to achieve Ag under oscillation conditions. + After sufficient reduction, a second layer of AgNPs-GO coating structure is formed on the surface of the first layer of PDA coating;

[0011] 4) The sample prepared in step 3) was added to the Tris-HCl solution (pH=8.5) of DA for in-situ self-polymerization to form a third layer of PDA coating structure on the surface of the second layer of AgNPs-GO coating.

[0012] 5) The sample in step 4) is subjected to self-assembly reaction in a sodium polyphosphate TPP solution and a QCs solution, and the reaction is repeated multiple times; TPP is used as a physical crosslinker to realize the assembly of QCs on the surface of the PDA coating, and the QCs structure is further introduced on the surface of the third layer of PDA coating;

[0013] 6) The PGS copolymer was dissolved in ultrapure water to prepare a 5-10 wt% aqueous solution. The sample prepared in step 5) was immersed in the resulting PGS solution and stirred at 60-80°C for 8-24 hours to complete the ring-opening reaction. A fourth layer of quaternized chitosan QCs grafted with the PGS copolymer was formed on the surface of the third PDA coating layer, ultimately forming a PGS / QCs / PDA / AgNPs-GO / PDA coating material on the substrate surface.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 1), the cleaning process is to place the material in acetone, ethanol, and deionized water in sequence and ultrasonically clean it for 10-20 minutes; the surface oxidation process is determined according to the specific material type, such as glass is treated with piranha lotion, silicon wafers are treated with ozone, and metal substrates are subjected to low-temperature plasma surface treatment;

[0015] Furthermore, in steps 2) to 6), each time a coating layer is prepared, the sample needs to be washed 3-5 times with deionized water and dried with nitrogen until no water film exists on the surface of the sample;

[0016] Furthermore, in step 2) and step 4), the DA concentration in the Tris-HCl solution of DA is 2-8 mg / ml, and the self-polymerization reaction time is 4-16 h;

[0017] Furthermore, in step 3), the concentration of the GO aqueous dispersion is 5-20 mg / ml, the concentration of the AgNO3 solution is 0.05-0.25 mol / L; the volume ratio of the GO aqueous dispersion to the AgNO3 solution is 5:1-10:1; the ultrasonic power is 80-120 W, the ultrasonic time is 15-30 min, the Vortex time is 2-5 min, the ultra-high speed stirring rate is 1000-1500 rpm / min, and the time is 30-60 min; and the immersion time is 2-4 h;

[0018] Further, in step 5), the concentration of the TPP solution is 0.5-2 mg / ml, and the reaction time is 1-2 h; the degree of quaternization of the QCs is 20-40%, the solution concentration is 0.1-1 wt%, and the reaction time is 2-4 h; and the multiple repetitions are repeated 5-10 times;

[0019] Furthermore, the preparation method of the PGS copolymer in step 6) is as follows: dissolving sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) in deionized water to obtain an SBMA aqueous solution; dissolving a certain amount of GMA in methanol to obtain a GMA methanol solution, and mixing it with the above-mentioned SBMA aqueous solution; placing the reaction system in a constant temperature water bath at 40-60°C, stirring for 5-10 minutes to preheat the solution, then adding ammonium persulfate (APS), stirring again for 5-10 minutes, and then adding sodium bisulfite (SBS). After polymerization for 3-5 hours, it is naturally cooled to room temperature, and deionized water is added to remove unreacted monomers, initiators and other impurities to obtain a white crude product, and then methanol is added to dissolve the crude product. The above impurity removal process is repeated 5-10 times to completely remove impurities therein, and the PGS copolymer is obtained after freeze-drying and grinding.

[0020] Furthermore, the mass fraction of the SBMA aqueous solution is 2-5wt%, the mass fraction of the GMA methanol solution is 5-10wt%, and the volume ratio of the SBMA aqueous solution to the GMA methanol solution is 10:1-5:1; the amount of APS and SBS is 1-2% of SBMA; and the stirring rate is 400-600 rpm / min;

[0021] Furthermore, the prepared PGS copolymer has a molecular weight of 6000-18000, and a molar ratio of GMA / SBMA monomer units in the molecular chain is 30:70-60:40.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] 1) In this invention, DA, silver nitrate, GO, TPP, QCs, GMA, and zwitterions are carefully selected and combined, and the multilayer coating structure is cleverly designed. A five-layer composite PGS / QCs / PDA / AgNPs-GO / PDA coating is successfully prepared using a combination of in-situ self-polymerization, multi-step impregnation, free radical copolymerization, and ring-opening reactions. This coating simultaneously exhibits AgNPs release and sterilization, QCs contact sterilization, PDA and GO photothermal sterilization, and anti-protein adhesion (antifouling) functions.

[0024] 2) The five-layer structure of the PGS / QCs / PDA / AgNPs-GO / PDA coating material constructed by the present invention complements each other as a whole and has a synergistic effect on the performance of the final material: the first layer of PDA coating is a universal primer, which achieves adhesion between the surface and interface of various materials, ensures that the subsequent coating structure can be formed on various materials, and also provides assistance for the formation of the second layer of AgNPs-GO: PDA can reduce Ag +AgNPs can be formed, and AgNPs-GO can also be fixed on the PDA surface; AgNPs in AgNPs-GO have very excellent antibacterial properties, and GO can make AgNPs evenly dispersed on the coating surface and not easy to aggregate; since AgNPs are not suitable for direct contact with tissues, QCs with excellent biocompatibility are introduced as the fourth layer of coating structure; and the introduction of QCs requires suitable reactive groups, so a third layer of PDA is deposited on the AgNPs-GO surface, which can undergo ionic crosslinking with the amino groups on the PDA and QCs molecular chains through the phosphate groups on TPP; the last layer of PGS structure is copolymerized with SBMA and GMA, and the epoxy groups on GMA can undergo a ring-opening reaction with the amine groups on QCs to achieve crosslinking.

[0025] 3) The various layers of the coating constructed by the present invention can also play a synergistic role in the body, and can play a good bactericidal and anti-adhesion role under the premise of ideal biocompatibility: AgNPs have excellent bactericidal activity, but conventional silver-loaded coatings have serious cytotoxicity problems caused by the initial explosive release of drugs. Therefore, the QCs coating is introduced on the basis of the PDA coating. While greatly increasing the biocompatibility, it forms a physical barrier to the AgNPs below, greatly slowing down their release rate. The quaternary ammonium groups on its surface can play a contact bactericidal role, forming a synergistic effect with the slow-released AgNPs, greatly enhancing the bactericidal efficiency. The PGS coating coated on the QCs coating can play an excellent anti-bacterial adhesion role, fundamentally inhibiting the formation of bacterial biofilms.

[0026] 4) The present invention innovatively uses a PGS coating based on a QCs coating, wherein PGS is a copolymer of GMA and SBMA. The epoxy groups it carries can react with the QCs amino group (-NH2) through a ring-opening reaction to achieve the introduction of PGS on the coating. The reaction conditions are easy to achieve, and various chemical cross-linking agents are not involved in the reaction process, which can maximize its biocompatibility.

[0027] 5) The PGS / QCs / PDA / AgNPs-GO / PDA coating constructed in the present invention can be combined with various substrates and has good universality. It can be used for antibacterial purposes in various scenarios, such as the surfaces of orthopedic, dental, and plastic surgery implants, and can effectively prevent the occurrence of implant-related infections.
