This invention relates to the field of
electrospun membranes, and more specifically to a one-step photocurable electrospun membrane material and its preparation method. The photocurable electrospun membrane material is prepared by mixing 5-20 parts of
fiber-forming macromolecules, 10-40 parts of collagen, 0.05-3 parts of natural
photosensitizer, and a
solvent to form a
spinning solution.
Electrospinning is performed using either needle-type or non-needle-type methods. Simultaneously, the fibers are irradiated with 200-400 nm
ultraviolet light in situ to achieve photocuring and cross-linking, thus obtaining a micro /
nanofiber membrane in one step. The
fiber-forming macromolecules are selected from biodegradable medical polymers, and the photosensitizers are biosafe components such as
riboflavin and retinaldehyde. This invention completely solves the problems of uneven cross-linking,
fiber morphology damage, collagen denaturation, and internal light filtering effects in traditional two-step methods. The resulting membrane has regular
fiber morphology, uniform cross-linking, high
mechanical strength, good
water resistance, and complete retention of bioactivity. Furthermore, the process is simplified, complies with pharmaceutical
quality management standards, and is suitable for medical applications such as
tissue engineering and wound repair.
