Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of anticoagulant, antibiofouling materials and medical device surface modification, and relates to an anticoagulant and antibiofouling blood compatibility coating, a functional material coating with antithrombosis and antibioadhesion fouling and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a combination of artificial lung and artificial heart, which is a medical emergency technology and equipment. The most core part is the membrane lung and blood pump, which respectively plays the role of artificial lung and artificial heart. ECMO can provide short-term cardiopulmonary support for patients with severe heart and lung failure, and can win valuable time for the rescue of critically ill patients. ECMO support is an auxiliary treatment measure that cannot be replaced by other medical technologies at present, and to some extent, it represents the level of rescue of critically ill patients in a hospital. Gas-blood exchange membrane is the core component of membrane oxygenator, which is a blood-gas separation barrier and also provides a place for blood oxidation. The structure and distribution of the surface pores of the membrane skin have a very important influence on gas permeability and prevention of plasma leakage. The commonly used core materials of membrane oxygenator include polypropylene (PP) and poly-4-methyl-1-pentene (PMP). Compared with PP, PMP has higher oxygen permeability, and due to its better hydrophobicity, the blood flow resistance in the process is lower, and the blood permeation phenomenon is reduced.

[0003] Poly-4-methyl-1-pentene (PMP) is a thermoplastic polyolefin with good mechanical stability and thermal stability. PMP also has excellent gas permeability, which is 12 times higher than that of polypropylene (PP). Therefore, PMP is an excellent membrane material. However, ECMO has strict requirements on material performance, especially the requirement of high blood compatibility. Although PMP is a high-performance polymer material, there are still disadvantages such as thrombosis and protein adhesion in clinical application, so it is necessary to improve the blood compatibility of PMP hollow fiber membrane for ECMO. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a method for improving the blood compatibility of PMP hollow fiber membrane by using a zwitterionic nano-silver antifouling antibacterial coating.

[0005] A PMP hollow fiber membrane has a porous PMP base membrane with a hollow fiber configuration, a modified layer formed by dopamine and a zwitterionic polymer is covered on the surface of the base membrane, and the surface of the modified layer further carries an Ag antibacterial layer.

[0006] The dopamine units in the antifouling coating are easily deposited on the hydrophobic surface, and the zwitterionic polymer layer is anchored on the surface of the dopamine coating at multiple points.

[0007] The zwitterionic polymer is sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA). Figure 9

[0008] The method for preparing the PMP hollow fiber membrane comprises the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: preparing a PBS buffer solution containing the zwitterionic polymer and dopamine hydrochloride;

[0010] Step 2: placing the PMP hollow fiber membrane into the solution obtained in step 1 for treatment;

[0011] Step 3: sequentially placing the hollow fiber membrane obtained in step 2 into a silver nitrate solution and a sodium borohydride solution, cleaning and drying to obtain the hollow fiber membrane. In this step, Ag is fixed on the membrane surface and silver nanoparticles are formed in situ on the membrane surface. In the silver nanoparticle antibacterial coating, Ag is fixed on the membrane surface through the terminal groups of the zwitterionic polymer, thereby further enhancing the antibacterial performance of the membrane.

[0012] In step 1, the concentration of the zwitterionic polymer is 2-10 mg / mL, and the weight ratio of the zwitterionic polymer to dopamine hydrochloride is 1:1-8:1.

[0013] The PBS buffer solution is prepared from potassium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium hydrogen phosphate, and has a total concentration of 1-30 mM and a pH of 8.0-9.0.

[0014] In step 2, the immersion temperature is 30-50°C, and the immersion time is 12-48 h.

[0015] In step 3, the silver nitrate solution is an aqueous silver nitrate solution with a concentration of 0.005 mol / L, the immersion temperature is 20-25°C, the immersion time is 10-15 min, the concentration of the sodium borohydride solution is 0.005 mol / L, and the immersion time is 5-10 min.

[0016] Advantages

[0017] Experiments prove that the zwitterionic silver nanoparticle antifouling antibacterial coating modified PMP hollow fiber membrane has high hydrophilicity, excellent antibacterial performance, and is beneficial to inhibiting thrombus formation. The modified PMP hollow fiber membrane has good blood compatibility and biocompatibility. The modification method is simple. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
