Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical assistive devices, and more particularly to an inflatable foot drop correction shoe and its manufacturing method. Background Technology
[0002] Foot drop refers to the dysfunction of ankle dorsiflexion caused by nerve damage or muscle lesions. Patients drag their toes when walking, are prone to falling, and have abnormal gait. Inflatable foot drop correction shoes, as a type of dynamic ankle and foot orthosis, dynamically adjust the angle of the foot through air pressure and are a key auxiliary device in rehabilitation medicine.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional thermoplastic polyurethane airbags lack a dynamic repair mechanism. The microcracks generated by repeated inflation and deflation will continue to expand, causing the pressure maintenance to fail at night. This forces patients to frequently inflate the airbags. Furthermore, when rigid orthotics come into contact with the foot microenvironment where sweat accumulates, the lack of functional treatment on the material surface not only causes pressure sores but also fosters the growth of microorganisms. In addition, single-modulus materials cannot adapt to the biomechanical characteristics of the foot's gradient load. Insufficient forefoot support weakens toe grip, while heel overload exacerbates heel pain.
[0004] Therefore, based on the relevant technologies mentioned above, there is an urgent need to develop an inflatable foot drop correction shoe and its manufacturing method. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide an inflatable foot drop correction shoe and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems of functional failure, poor antibacterial properties and single modulus in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an inflatable foot drop correction shoe and a method for preparing the same.
[0007] An inflatable foot drop correction shoe is composed of the following components in parts by weight: 75-80 parts modified polyurethane rubber, 6-8 parts modified chain extender, 10-12 parts modified chitosan microspheres, 5-7 parts modified nano silica, 3-5 parts polyethylene glycol, 5-7 parts modified nano zinc oxide, and 0.5-1 parts antioxidant.
[0008] Preferably, the modified polyurethane rubber is prepared using the following steps:
[0009] Step A1: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, polytetrahydrofuran ether diol is added to a reaction vessel, heated to 100-120℃, reacted for 1-3 hours, cooled to 70-90℃, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and catalyst dibutyltin dilaurate are added, and the mixture is stirred for 80-100 minutes.

After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered, washed, purified and dried to obtain the modified chain extender.
[0015] The dynamic disulfide bonds in the modified chain extender repair microscopic damage through bond energy recombination during repeated inflation of the airbag. At the same time, the modified chitosan microspheres contain hexamethylene diisocyanate repair agent microcapsules. When the airbag is punctured, the isocyanate groups are released and react with the hydroxyl and amino groups of the polyurethane matrix to form a polyurea crosslinking network, which seals macroscopic cracks and thus improves its airtightness.

[0028] Step C2: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, add silica to the hydrolysate, sonicate for 20-40 min, heat to 70-90℃, reflux for 5-7 h, after the reaction is complete, centrifuge, wash, and vacuum dry to obtain aminated silica;
[0029] Step C3: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, add aminated silica to N,N-dimethylformamide solvent and stir until homogeneous. Add acrylamine monomer and initiator azobisisobutyronitrile, and ultrasonically disperse for 10-20 min. Heat to 60-80℃ and stir for 7-9 h. Add crosslinking agent N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide and react for 1-3 h. Once the reaction is complete, cool to 20-30℃, centrifuge, wash, and dry to obtain modified nano silica.

[0036] By modifying the surface of nano-zinc oxide and loading it with silver nanoparticles, contact disruption of microbial cell membranes is achieved. Furthermore, the cationic quaternary ammonium groups of quaternized chitosan microspheres adsorb negatively charged bacteria, thereby causing the solute inside the bacteria to leak out and achieving a bactericidal effect. At the same time, the chitosan microspheres slowly release silver ions in the sweat environment of the feet, which can form a charge synergistic effect with the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, realizing a dual physical and chemical antibacterial pathway, avoiding the development of drug resistance in bacteria and improving bactericidal efficiency.

[0043] Step S4: Add the rubber compound to the open mill, heat it to 60-80℃, perform 4-6 thin passes, put it into the mold, add the air bladder inner layer, heat it to 150-170℃, pressurize it to 14-16MPa, vulcanize for 15-25 minutes, after the reaction is complete, cool it down and let it stand, assemble and inflate it to obtain an inflatable foot drop correction shoe.
[0044] Polyurethane is plasticized and modified with polyethylene glycol to reduce its hardness. At the same time, a hydrated lubricating layer can be formed by grafting acrylamine onto the surface of nano-silica, reducing the coefficient of friction between the skin and the shoe. In addition, modified nano-zinc oxide co-crystallizes with the hard segments of polyurethane to improve local strength and enhance the rigidity of the outer layer. Furthermore, the modified silica can form a hydrogen bond network in the sweaty environment of the foot to capture water molecules and achieve intelligent sweat absorption.

[0046] In step S2, the mass ratio of the modified polyurethane rubber, modified chain extender, modified nano silica, modified chitosan microspheres, and antioxidant is 1:0.085-0.095:0.07-0.08:0.13-0.15:0.009-0.01.

[0048] The mass ratio of the adhesive material to the inner liner of the airbag in step S4 is 2.8-3.2:1.
[0049] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0050] This invention provides an inflatable foot drop corrective shoe and its manufacturing method. Through dynamic cross-linked network design, multi-level antibacterial function integration, and gradient mechanical regulation technology, this invention achieves a synergistic breakthrough in damage self-repair, long-lasting antibacterial protection, and biomimetic comfort support compared to existing technologies.

[0168] Data Analysis
[0169] As can be seen from Tables 1-3, the inflatable foot drop correction shoe prepared by the present invention has better airtight stability, self-repair efficiency, antibacterial properties and mechanical strength.
[0170] In contrast, Comparative Example 1, lacking the addition of modified chitosan microspheres and modified nano-zinc oxide, resulted in a leakage rate decrease of only 15.2%, an antibacterial rate of less than 25%, and a tensile strength reduction of 43%. This is because the modified chitosan microspheres contain hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) repair agent microcapsules. When the quaternized chitosan shell ruptures upon airbag puncture, the released HDI reacts with the -NH2 and -OH groups of the polyurethane matrix to form a polyurea cross-linking network, thus sealing the macroscopic cracks. Furthermore, the nano-silver loaded with modified nano-zinc oxide disrupts the microbial cell membrane through contact, and the quaternized chitosan causes bacterial solute leakage through cation adsorption. + The positive charge of the quaternary ammonium salt superimposed on the quaternary ammonium salt creates a charge synergy effect. In addition, silicone rubber has no antibacterial groups and its surface hydrophobicity promotes bacterial colonization. At the same time, the poor interfacial compatibility between silicone rubber and polyurethane matrix weakens the overall mechanical properties.
[0171] In Comparative Example 2, replacing the modified chain extender with ethylenediamine chain extender resulted in a strength recovery rate of 53.9% and a leakage rate decrease of only 41.7%. This is because the modified chain extender contains dynamic disulfide bonds (-SS-), whose bond energy is lower than that of covalent bonds. Under thermal excitation at 60℃, it can undergo recombination to achieve microcrack repair. In contrast, the ethylenediamine chain extender forms stable urea bonds, which have no dynamic responsiveness. Furthermore, the recombination of disulfide bonds can dissipate strain energy, while the rigid urea bond network is prone to stress concentration, which accelerates crack propagation. Therefore, its stress dissipation efficiency is reduced.
[0172] In Comparative Example 3, replacing the modified polyurethane rubber with polyurethane resulted in a 34% decrease in tensile strength and a 200% increase in wear rate. This is because the modified polyurethane can precisely control the hard segment content through the prepolymer method, forming a regular hydrogen bond array and providing a highly crystalline region. In contrast, the hard segments of ordinary polyurethane are randomly distributed, have low crystallinity, and cannot co-crystallize with ZnO nanoparticles, leading to a decrease in local support strength. In addition, the amino groups on the surface of the modified nano zinc oxide form coordination bonds with the carbonyl groups of the polyurethane hard segments, thereby constructing a "rigid island" structure. In contrast, the hard segments of ordinary polyurethane have poor dispersion, and ZnO agglomeration leads to stress concentration points.
[0173] Comparative Example 4 showed a 19% decrease in elongation at break and a 51% increase in wear rate after replacing modified nano-silica with nano-silica. This was attributed to the presence of primary amine groups in the polyacrylamide chains grafted onto the surface of the modified nano-silica, which protonated to -NH3 in the sweaty environment of the feet. + It captures water molecules through hydrogen bonds to form a 10-30nm thick hydration layer, while the silanol groups on the surface of ordinary silica are highly hydrophobic, increasing the coefficient of friction on the skin. In addition, polyacrylamide chains have good compatibility with polyurethane soft segments, while ordinary silica has poor compatibility with the matrix, leading to interfacial debonding and thus weakening the interfacial bonding force.
