AI Technical Summary
While existing silicone hydrogel materials for contact lenses improve oxygen permeability, they also have problems such as poor biocompatibility, easy adsorption of microorganisms leading to inflammatory reactions, and strong dryness when worn.
Cyclopentadimethylsiloxane and methacryloyloxypropyltris(trimethylsiloxy)silane are used as siloxane monomers, combined with N,N-dimethylacrylamide and hydroxyethyl methacrylate as hydrophilic monomers, and dynamic crosslinking agent 4-vinylphenylboronic acid is added. Polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer nanoparticles are encapsulated with ε-polylysine and resveratrol. The dopamine-modified nanoparticles bind to corneal mucin to form pH-responsive borate ester bonds, thereby achieving sustained release and self-repair of the material.
It improves the oxygen permeability of the material, reduces the risk of microbial adsorption, alleviates the dryness when wearing, extends the service life, and enhances safety and comfort.
