Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical materials, and in particular relates to a photocrosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogels, due to their unique three-dimensional network structure and high water content, play an important role in the biomedical field, especially in tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, cell culture matrices, and biosensors. Since the last century, hydrogels have been widely used in various biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, plasticity, and structural adjustability. However, traditional hydrogel materials often exhibit insufficient mechanical properties in applications with high mechanical loads, such as bone and cartilage repair.

[0003] On the other hand, piezoelectric materials such as barium titanate (BaTiO3), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polyurethane (PU) can generate an electric charge under mechanical stress and, vice versa, produce mechanical deformation under an electric field. This property has led to a wide range of applications for piezoelectric materials in sensors, actuators, and energy harvesting devices. In tissue engineering, piezoelectric materials promote cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue remodeling by providing additional electrical stimulation signals. In particular, in bone and cartilage repair, the electrical stimulation generated by the piezoelectric effect is believed to effectively promote bone cell maturation and mineralization, accelerate cartilage cell growth, and tissue repair. Furthermore, the electrical conductivity of the material is equally important, especially for muscle and neural tissue, which require electrophysiological signal support. Conductive materials can mimic the electrical properties of native tissue and provide cells with the necessary electrophysiological environment. In muscle tissue engineering, conductive materials facilitate cell alignment and restore contractile function, and promote muscle cell proliferation and differentiation through continuous electrical stimulation. For neural tissue, conductive materials can serve as an effective medium for signal transmission, guiding axonal growth, promoting neural network reconstruction, and accelerating neural tissue regeneration.

[0004] Considering the respective advantages of hydrogels and piezoelectric materials, combining the two to form piezoelectric hydrogels has become an attractive research direction. These hydrogels not only inherit the biocompatibility and plasticity of traditional hydrogels, but also incorporate the electroactivity of piezoelectric materials, capable of withstanding and converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, offering a new solution for repairing tissues subjected to mechanical loads.

[0005] However, existing piezoelectric materials often lack effective bioactive signals when promoting muscle and nerve tissue regeneration, and are unable to accurately guide cell differentiation and tissue reconstruction. In particular, in nerve regeneration, there is a lack of precise electrophysiological signals to promote axonal growth and neural network reconstruction. At the same time, in existing piezoelectric conductive hydrogels and heterogeneous materials, functional materials such as piezoelectric components are unevenly dispersed and unstable in their binding to the hydrogel matrix, which may lead to performance degradation during in vivo application and affect the repair effect. At the same time, traditional hydrogel materials often lack mechanical strength when dealing with the mechanical challenges brought by muscle contraction and neural activity, making it difficult to achieve the stability required for muscle and nerve tissue repair.

[0115] Experimental example

[0116] 1. The hafnium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) obtained in step (1) of the preparation of the composite material of the double-bonded cobalt porphyrin covalent organic framework and the hafnium-based metal-organic framework in Example 2 is divided into three types according to their sizes: MOF-L (400 nm), MOF-M (200 nm) and MOF-S (50 nm). MOF-L, MOF-M, MOF-S and the composite material of the double-bonded cobalt porphyrin covalent organic framework and the hafnium-based metal organic framework (MOF@COF) prepared in Example 2 were subjected to electrochemical testing. The MOF treatment method was as follows: 10 mg of MOF or MOF@COF was dispersed in a mixed solution of 0.5 mL of ethanol and 20 μL of Nafion solution (5%), respectively. After ultrasonic treatment for 30 minutes, 20 μL of the mixed solution was pipetted onto a glassy carbon electrode with a diameter of 5 mm and air-dried for 12 hours. The specific test method was as follows: electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was tested on piezoelectric ceramics using an electrochemical workstation (Versa STAT3F, Ametek, USA). The working electrode was a sample-loading electrode, the auxiliary electrode was a platinum sheet (1-2×1-2 cm), and the reference electrode was a saturated Ag / AgCl electrode. In 0.5 M Na2SO4 solution and 0.1-10 5 Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was recorded using an alternating current with an amplitude of 5 mV in the frequency range of 1 Hz. Figures 3-4 shown.

[0117] from Figures 3-4 It can be seen that the smaller MOF-S has a lower impedance value, and the composite material of the double-bonded cobalt porphyrin covalent organic framework and the hafnium-based metal organic framework synthesized using MOF-S has better electrochemical performance.

[0118] 2. The gelling properties of double-bonded gelatin, double-bonded silk fibroin, and the photo-crosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogels prepared in Examples 2 to 4 were studied. The results are as follows: Figures 5-6 shown.

[0119] from Figure 5 It can be seen that the gelling performance of 5 parts by weight of double-bonded gelatin is poor, while the gelling performance of 10-15 parts by weight of double-bonded gelatin is good. The photo-crosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogel prepared with 10 parts by weight of double-bonded gelatin as raw material can gel well. Figure 6 It can be seen that 15 parts by weight of double-bonded silk fibroin and the photo-crosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogel prepared with 15 parts by weight of double-bonded silk fibroin as raw materials have good gelling properties.

[0120] 3. The MOF-L, MOF-M, and MOF-S obtained in 1 were reacted with double-bonded silk fibroin to form hydrogels under the action of LAP photoinitiator, namely SilMA+MOF-L, SilMA+MOF-M, and SilMA+MOF-S (Comparative Example 1). The above hydrogels and the photocrosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogels prepared in Example 1, and the photocrosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogels prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 were subjected to piezoelectric output tests. The specific method was as follows: a self-made electromechanical system was used to apply cyclic compression loads of various frequencies, a charge amplifier (kd5002, Baofei Vibration Instrument Co., Ltd., Jiangsu, China) was used to measure the charge signal generated by each piezoelectric hydrogel, and the charge was converted into a voltage signal for output; a data acquisition card (HK_USB6202-SDIEIE, HKTECH Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou, China) was used to obtain the signal output by the charge amplifier, and finally Labview software was used to record and display it in real time on a computer. The results are shown in FIG. Figures 7-8 shown.

[0121] from Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen that the heterojunction formed in the photo-crosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogel prepared by the present invention can effectively increase the piezoelectric output of the hydrogel, has a good piezoelectric signal, and performs well in electrophysiological signal transmission, providing new possibilities for its application in nerve and muscle tissue repair.

[0122] 4. The mechanical properties of the gelled double-bonded silk fibroin (SilMA), the photocrosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogels prepared in Examples 3 and 4, the gelled double-bonded gelatin (GelMA), and the photocrosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogel prepared in Example 2 were tested. The specific method is as follows: the rheological behavior was measured on a rotational rheometer (TA Instruments DHR-1, USA) with a parallel plate configuration (diameter 20 mm, gap 1 mm); first, the linear viscoelastic region (LVR) of the sample was measured by amplitude (strain) scanning, and the oscillation strain was increased from 0.001% to 50% at a constant frequency of 1 Hz; then, under a fixed shear strain within the LVR, the dynamic storage modulus (G′) and loss modulus (G″) were measured in the frequency range of 0.1 to 10 Hz. Each test procedure required the addition of 500 μL of sample to the plate; the results are shown in FIG. Figures 9-10 shown.

[0123] from Figures 9-10 It can be seen that the photocrosslinked organic piezoelectric heterojunction hydrogel in the present invention tightly combines the organic piezoelectric heterojunction with the gel matrix through covalent crosslinking technology, forming a heterojunction structure with a more solid network structure, and the mechanical properties of the hydrogel can be further improved.

[0124] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
