The invention discloses an intelligent hydroxybutyl
chitosan hydrogel
stent based on the 3D printing technology and a preparation method of the intelligent hydroxybutyl
chitosan hydrogel
stent based on the 3D printing technology. The intelligent hydrogel, thermo-sensitive hydroxybutyl
chitosan, which is of a single
system and has high responsiveness to temperature and
ion strength is adopted, the feature that
sol-gel
phase change is caused by the temperature and the
ion strength of the thermo-sensitive hydroxybutyl chitosan is utilized, and the formed hydrogel
stent is obtained through adjustment and control over the temperature and 3D printing parameters; then, through inorganic-salt-induced
phase change, the hydrogel stent is evenly shrunk, and the
mechanical strength and the precision of the hydrogel stent are further improved. The intelligent hydroxybutyl chitosan hydrogel stent based on the 3D printing technology overcomes the defects that 3D printing hydrogel is generally poor in
formability, low in
mechanical strength, low in precision and the like. Compared with existing common methods of adopting
photosensitizer, complex-
system hydrogel and the like, the intelligent hydroxybutyl chitosan hydrogel stent based on the 3D printing technology does not need introducing of any
photosensitizer or cross-linking agent, is simple in
system and gentle in technology; and the prepared 3D stent has high
mechanical strength and is provided with a precise internal structure, and the prepared 3D stent can be widely applied to
tissue engineering and
tissue repair of the
cartilage, the
skin, the vessel, the nerve, the myocardium and the like.
