Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of synthetic materials technology, and in particular to a rapidly photocrosslinkable, swelling-resistant, high-strength polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogels are a class of soft materials composed of three-dimensional polymer networks capable of absorbing large amounts of water. Due to their high water content, good flexibility, and mechanical properties similar to biological tissues, they show broad application prospects in tissue engineering, drug delivery, flexible electronics, biosensing, and implantable medical devices. To meet the performance requirements of different applications, researchers have developed various hydrogel systems with different chemical compositions, network structures, and functional properties in recent years. Among them, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has become one of the most representative materials in the field of biomedical hydrogels due to its excellent hydrophilicity, low coefficient of friction, low protein adsorption, good biocompatibility, and ease of processing.

[0003] However, traditional polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels typically suffer from insufficient mechanical properties, poor fatigue resistance, and a tendency to swell in aqueous environments, thus limiting their further application in flexible implant devices, bioelectronic interfaces, and long-term biomaterials. Particularly in applications such as neural electrodes, flexible sensors, and tissue engineering scaffolds, materials not only need good biocompatibility but also must simultaneously meet requirements for high mechanical strength, low swelling, long-term structural stability, and rapid prototyping. Therefore, developing PVA hydrogels that combine high strength, low swelling, and rapid prototyping capabilities is of great significance.

[0004] Currently, the construction of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels mainly relies on physical or chemical crosslinking. Chemical crosslinking typically involves introducing chemical crosslinking agents (such as glutaraldehyde, boric acid, genipin, etc.) into the PVA system to promote the formation of a stable three-dimensional network structure of PVA molecular chains. Although this method can effectively improve the mechanical properties of hydrogels, its preparation process is often complex, crosslinking agent residues are difficult to completely remove, and may lead to a decrease in the biocompatibility of the material. For example, Chinese patent CN202010363171.6 discloses a high-strength PVA hydrogel with multiple chemical crosslinking processes and its preparation method. Although this method can obtain high-strength hydrogels, its preparation process is complex due to the involvement of multiple chemical crosslinking processes, and potential crosslinking agent residues limit its application in the biomedical field.

[0005] In contrast, physical crosslinking methods are more conducive to maintaining the biocompatibility of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels because they do not require the introduction of highly toxic crosslinking agents. Common physical crosslinking methods include repeated freeze-thaw cycles, salting-out, and solvent phase transitions. These methods mainly construct a three-dimensional network structure by inducing the formation of microcrystalline regions and hydrogen bonding within the polyvinyl alcohol segments. For example, Chinese patent CN202510079727.1 discloses a polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel patch with a double-disc structure, its preparation method, and its applications. The hydrogel prepared by this method exhibits good biocompatibility, but its preparation cycle is long, the process is relatively cumbersome, and the resulting hydrogel still suffers from limited mechanical strength and high swelling ratio, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of high-performance biomedical materials.

[0006] In recent years, photocrosslinking technology has attracted widespread attention in the field of hydrogel materials due to its advantages such as fast reaction speed, strong spatiotemporal controllability, mild processing conditions, and ease of in-situ molding. By introducing photosensitive groups such as methacryloyl, acryloyl, or norbornene groups into the polymer side chains, materials can rapidly form chemical crosslinked networks under ultraviolet or visible light irradiation. However, existing photocrosslinked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) systems typically suffer from problems such as a single crosslinked network, insufficient mechanical properties, and high swelling ratios. Furthermore, the network structure formed by simple photocrosslinking lacks effective orientation enhancement and microcrystalline strengthening mechanisms, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve high strength and flexibility. Moreover, most existing PVA photocrosslinking systems rely solely on a single chemical crosslinked network, lacking synergistic control over the hydrophobic association of polymer chains, nanocrystalline structure, and oriented crystallization structure. Therefore, it is difficult to simultaneously achieve key properties such as rapid ultraviolet curing, high mechanical strength, low swelling performance, good flexibility, and long-term structural stability.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel system. By modifying polyvinyl alcohol with hydrophobic alkylation and photosensitive groups, and combining it with multi-level structure regulation strategies such as freeze-induced phase transition-induced microcrystalline physical crosslinking, ultraviolet photochemical crosslinking, and stretching-heat-setting orientation enhancement, a polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel material with high strength, low swelling, rapid photocrosslinking, and excellent biocompatibility can be constructed to meet the application requirements of high-performance hydrogels in the fields of flexible bioelectronic devices and implantable medical materials.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this invention can achieve are: 1. This invention enhances the hydrophobic association between polyvinyl alcohol chains through alkylation modification, and combines freeze-induced and phase-transition-induced physical crosslinking with photo-induced chemical crosslinking to form a composite crosslinking network. Compared with traditional polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels that rely solely on single physical crosslinking (such as repeated freeze-thaw cycles) or single chemical crosslinking, the hydrogel of this invention exhibits significant improvements in tensile strength, elongation at break, and fatigue resistance, meeting the high mechanical performance requirements of applications such as flexible electronics, neural electrodes, and tissue engineering scaffolds.

[0022] 2. Traditional polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels are prone to significant swelling in aqueous environments, leading to decreased mechanical properties and dimensional distortion, severely limiting their application in implantable medical devices and long-term biomaterials. This invention, through alkylation hydrophobic modification of PVA, effectively reduces the hydrophilicity of the polymer chains and increases inter-chain hydrophobic association, thereby inhibiting water molecule penetration into the network. Simultaneously, combining high-density chemical crosslinking, nanocrystalline physical crosslinking, and a drawn oriented crystalline structure further restricts the degrees of freedom of network chain movement, significantly reducing the equilibrium swelling rate of the hydrogel. Compared to unmodified or photocrosslinked PVA hydrogels, the hydrogel of this invention exhibits extremely low volume expansion and excellent dimensional stability in physiological environments or aqueous solutions.

[0023] 3. Existing methods for preparing polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels are often time-consuming, such as repeated freeze-thaw cycles which typically take hours or even days, and are difficult to achieve in-situ molding of complex shapes. This invention introduces photosensitive groups (such as methacryl and acryloyl groups) into the side chains of polyvinyl alcohol, and combined with ultraviolet light irradiation, can rapidly form a stable chemical crosslinking network within seconds to tens of seconds. This photocrosslinking process has excellent spatiotemporal controllability, and can achieve patterning, multilayer structures, or in-situ molding through mask or optical path design, significantly shortening the preparation cycle and improving production efficiency. Compared with traditional chemical crosslinking methods involving crosslinking agents (such as glutaraldehyde and genipin), this invention avoids the problem of toxic crosslinking agent residues, simplifies the process, and is more suitable for rapid prototyping and the preparation of personalized medical devices.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved objectives, and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this invention and not all of them. Other embodiments or implementations obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments or implementations described in the specific embodiments without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this invention.

[0026] Implementation Method 1: A rapidly photocrosslinkable, swelling-resistant, high-strength polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel is obtained by coagulation molding, ultraviolet light crosslinking, and post-treatment of a photocrosslinkable polyvinyl alcohol composition. The photocrosslinkable polyvinyl alcohol composition includes the following components: alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol, photoinitiator, and solvent.

[0027] Among them, alkylated and photosensitive group modified polyvinyl alcohol is obtained by successively modifying polyvinyl alcohol with alkyl aldehyde and photosensitive molecules.

[0028] The alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol has a molecular weight of 6,000 to 200,000 and a degree of alcoholysis of 60% to 100%. The concentration of the alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol in the photocrosslinkable polyvinyl alcohol composition is 1% to 90%. The photoinitiator includes Irgacure 2959, Irgacure 1173, riboflavin RF, eosin EY (tetrabromofluorescein), lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphonate (LAP), sodium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphonate (NAP), etc., and is used in an amount of 0.1% to 5% of the mass of the alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol. The solvent includes one or more of water, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, and dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0029] The preparation method of the hydrogel includes the following steps: S1. Preparation of alkylated polyvinyl alcohol: S1-1, Alkyl chain modification: At a certain temperature (20-250℃), dissolve and prepare a 0.5%-80% polyvinyl alcohol solution with a good solvent, and mechanically stir until completely dissolved. Then, add an acidic reagent solution with a concentration of 1%-60% to adjust the pH of the reaction solution to 0.1-7. Add dropwise an alkyl aldehyde solution (concentration 1%-70%) with a molar ratio of 0.0001-1 to the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl alcohol side chain, and mechanically stir until the reaction is complete.

[0030] S1-2, Neutralizing Acidity: Pour the reaction solution into 0.5 to 50 times its volume of a poor solvent to wash it, then redissolve it with a good solvent under mechanical stirring, add a 1% to 60% alkaline reagent solution, and adjust the pH of the reaction solution to 1 to 13.

[0031] S1-3, Cleaning and Drying: The reaction solution is washed again in a poor solvent and then dried (freezing vacuum drying, high temperature vacuum drying, or high temperature drying) to obtain solid alkylated polyvinyl alcohol.

[0032] S2. Preparation of alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol: S2-1, Photosensitive group modification: Dissolve the above alkylated polyvinyl alcohol in a good solvent to prepare a solution with a concentration of 0.5% to 80%, stir mechanically until completely dissolved, add dropwise a photosensitive molecule solution (concentration 1% to 70%) with a molar ratio of 0.0001 to 1 to the side chain hydroxyl group of alkylated polyvinyl alcohol, and stir mechanically until the reaction is complete.

[0033] S2-2, Cleaning and Drying: Pour the reaction solution into a poor solvent for washing, and dry to obtain solid alkylated and photosensitive group modified polyvinyl alcohol.

[0034] S3. Preparation of hydrogel: S3-1. Add the modified polyvinyl alcohol, photoinitiator and good solvent to a stirred tank in proportion, heat and mechanically stir until completely dissolved, and then pressurize and filter.

[0035] S3-2. The filtrate is squeezed into a degassing kettle and degassed under vacuum at 20-200℃ for 1-72 hours to obtain a homogeneous colloid.

[0036] S3-3. Pour the homogeneous adhesive into a rectangular mold and place it in a coagulation bath at -60 to 70°C to solidify and shape it. Then, irradiate it with ultraviolet light (wavelength 200 to 400 nm, intensity 20 to 150 W) for 5 to 180 seconds to perform rapid photocrosslinking. Finally, after stretching by 0.1 to 50 times, heat setting at 20 to 300°C, and washing with water at 10 to 100°C, a high-strength polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel with anti-swelling properties that can be rapidly photocrosslinked is obtained.

[0037] The good solvents include one or more of water, DMF, DMAc, NMP, and DMSO; the bad solvents include n-hexane, cyclohexane, petroleum ether, toluene, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, acetone, ethanol, and ethylene glycol; the acidic reagents include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and trifluoroacetic acid; the basic reagents include sodium hydroxide, triethylamine, and sodium carbonate; the alkyl aldehydes include butyraldehyde, hexanal, octanal, dodecaldehyde, hexadecaldehyde, and octadecaldehyde; the photosensitive molecules include methacrylic anhydride, methacryloyl chloride, acryloyl chloride, acrylic anhydride, glycidyl methacrylate, 5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid, allyl glycidyl ether, and cinnamoyl chloride; the coagulation bath components include ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and propylene glycol monomethyl ether.

[0038] Implementation Method Two: Based on Implementation Method One, further specifying that the alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol has a molecular weight of 80,000–170,000 and a degree of alcoholysis of 70%–99%; the concentration of the alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol in the photocrosslinkable polyvinyl alcohol composition is 10%–60%; the amount of photoinitiator is 0.5%–2% of the mass of the alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol; the dissolution temperature is 40–150°C; the polyvinyl alcohol concentration is 1%–40%; the acid reagent concentration is 5%–40%; the pH is 0.5–5; the alkyl aldehyde molar ratio is 0.001–0.5, and the concentration is 5%–40%; the undesirable solvent volume ratio is 1–40; the alkaline reagent concentration is 5%–40%; and the pH is… 3~11; Molar ratio of photosensitive molecules 0.001~0.5, concentration 5%~40%; Degassing temperature 40~150℃, time 6h~24h; Coagulation bath temperature -40~20℃; Ultraviolet light wavelength 365nm, intensity 50~100W, irradiation time 10s~120s; Stretch ratio 1~30 times; Heat setting temperature 80~200℃; Water washing temperature 50~90℃.

[0039] By further narrowing the range of the above parameters, the molecular weight, degree of alcoholysis, and solution concentration of polyvinyl alcohol are made more suitable for subsequent alkylation modification and photosensitive group modification. This also allows for a more stable coordination relationship between acidic conditions, alkyl aldehyde dosage, photosensitive molecule dosage, degassing conditions, coagulation bath conditions, and ultraviolet irradiation conditions. This is beneficial for improving the uniformity of the modified polyvinyl alcohol solution, shortening the time required for ultraviolet crosslinking, and improving the anti-swelling properties and mechanical strength of the hydrogel after molding.

[0040] Implementation Method 3: Based on Implementation Method 2, further specifying that the alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol has a molecular weight of 120,000–150,000, a degree of alcoholysis of 90%–97%, and a concentration of alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol in the photocrosslinkable polyvinyl alcohol composition of 20%–40%; the photoinitiator is Irgacure 2959, used in an amount of 0.8%–1.5% of the mass of the alkylated and photosensitive group-modified polyvinyl alcohol; the dissolution temperature is 80–100°C; the polyvinyl alcohol concentration is 5%–15%; the concentration of the acidic reagent (hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid) is 10%–30%, and the pH is 1–3; the molar ratio of alkyl aldehyde (dodecanal) is 0.005–0.05, and the concentration is 10%–20%; the volume ratio of the poor solvent (ethanol or acetone) is 2–10; the concentration of the alkaline reagent (triethylamine or sodium hydroxide) is 10%–30%, and the pH is [not specified in the original text]. 6-8; Molar ratio of photosensitive molecule (methacrylic anhydride) 0.01-0.1, concentration 10%-30%; Degassing temperature 60-90℃, time 3h-10h; Coagulation bath (ethylene glycol monomethyl ether) temperature -30--10℃; Ultraviolet light 365nm, 80W, irradiation 30s-90s; Stretch ratio 5-10 times; Heat setting temperature 140-180℃; Water washing temperature 80-95℃.

[0041] By combining the above parameters, the molecular weight, degree of hydrolysis, and concentration of polyvinyl alcohol are limited to a more concentrated range, and the specific types of photoinitiators, acidic reagents, alkyl aldehydes, basic reagents, photosensitive molecules, and coagulation baths are further limited, making the alkylation modification, photosensitive group modification, coagulation molding, and ultraviolet crosslinking processes easier to control. At the same time, combined with stretching, heat setting, and water washing treatments, it is beneficial to obtain polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels that can complete crosslinking within a shorter ultraviolet irradiation time and have both anti-swelling properties and high strength.

[0042] Specific Examples: The following examples all adopt the basic scope of Embodiment 3, and adjust one or a few parameters accordingly to demonstrate the adjustability and effects of the present invention. In all examples, the photoinitiator is Irgacure 2959 (1% dosage), the alkylating agent is dodecyl aldehyde (unless otherwise specified), the photosensitive molecule is methacrylic anhydride (substitution rate and alkyl substitution rate are independently controlled), the coagulation bath is -20℃ ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (unless otherwise specified), the ultraviolet irradiation is 365nm, 80W, 60s, the draw ratio is 5 times, the heat setting is 150℃, and the water washing is 90℃.

[0125] Table 2 Performance Comparison of Examples and Comparative Examples

[0126] As can be seen from the above embodiments and comparative examples: This invention employs a multi-level synergistic strategy involving alkylation hydrophobic modification, introduction of photosensitive groups, cryogenic phase change-induced microcrystals, rapid crosslinking under ultraviolet light, and stretching-heat-setting orientation enhancement. The resulting hydrogel exhibits a tensile strength of up to 85 MPa and a swelling rate as low as 5%, while maintaining good cell compatibility (>90%).

[0127] The comparative examples show that the absence of any key step (alkylation, photocrosslinking, freeze-thaw phase change, stretching) leads to a significant decrease in mechanical properties or a substantial increase in swelling rate.

[0128] Compared with traditional chemical crosslinking (glutaraldehyde, boric acid) or physical crosslinking (repeated freeze-thaw cycles), this invention has significant advantages in terms of strength, swelling resistance, biocompatibility and rapid prototyping.

[0129] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
