Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyesteramide preparation technology, specifically to an antibacterial polyesteramide, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Polyesteramide materials are a new type of biodegradable polymer material that combines the characteristics of polyester and polyamide. They have rich structural and functional properties, good mechanical and chemical properties, and excellent biodegradability and non-toxicity. They can be used in both environmentally friendly and biomedical materials, and have good application prospects. They can be widely used in biomedical materials, biodegradable packaging materials, thermochromic polymer materials, resins, hot melt adhesives and adhesives, etc.

[0003] Chinese patent CN115676982A discloses a lysine-based polyesteramide polymer modified with nitroxide radicals, its preparation method, and its applications. Nitrooxide radicals, as a type of air-stable organic free radical, possess stable lone pairs of electrons. On one hand, they can achieve electrical conductivity; appropriate electrical stimulation can effectively promote the repair of skin wounds. On the other hand, they possess excellent antioxidant properties and show significant effects in antibacterial activity, promoting angiogenesis, and cell migration. However, the synthesis steps of this patented polymer are cumbersome.

[0004] Chinese patent CN113087897A discloses a method for preparing polyesteramide. This method includes adding an antioxidant and introducing nylon salt in the form of an oxygen-depleting aqueous solution after the esterification reaction. This solves the severe yellowing problem commonly encountered in polyesteramide synthesis, resulting in a polyesteramide with a low yellow index. Furthermore, fibers made using this polyesteramide exhibit higher breaking strength and good elongation at break.

[0005] In conclusion, the development of a simple-to-process polyesteramide material with antibacterial properties is of great significance for its application in the field of biomedical materials. Summary of the Invention
