The strongest effect was observed for LS coated with Fluorolink/O-MMT (95:5) in which the saturation was not reached even after 96 h. The efficiency of the composite films as antigraffiti agents was estimated through the chromatic variations observed after eight staining/cleaning cycles performed on LS soiled by acrylic spray paint. Most synthetic scaffolds used for SMR are fabricated from polyesters, such as poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), poly(lactide acid) (PLA), or combinations (blends or copolymers) between them or with other polyesters (e.g., poly(ε-caprolactone), PCL). Polyurethanes can be elastomers, and they can be paints. These cues are represented by surface roughness, pores, grooves, wells, and pillars and can be used to guide cell behavior in terms of adhesion, alignment, and motility. Thermoplastic polyurethane, often abbreviated to TPU, is a class of polyurethane which are made up of thermoplastic elastomers. Toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (2,4 For SMR, one of the most important features of electrospinning is the fiber alignment control. Materials should degrade in vivo so as to avoid the onset of infections associated with the protracted presence of foreign materials in the human body. This fractures the fragile cell faces, but also introduces cracks (Fig. The basic role of a biomaterial used for SMR is to mimic the native environment and, in combination with cells, form a local niche that can generate a functional tissue. To guide cells on a surface, patterning of ECM proteins, such as collagen, fibronectin, or laminin is widely printed on glass or glass-modified surfaces; as well, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are printed on gold and silicon surfaces using cell-repellant molecules, such as PEG derivatives [47–49]. Among the hybrid coatings, bionanocomposites based on poly-l-lactide (PLA) and MMT nanoparticles were successfully employed for the protection of Marmara marble surfaces under acidic atmosphere (Ocak et al., 2015). PUs are good candidates for SMR (Table 7.2) because their mechanical and structural control can be adjusted to suitably influence cell phenotype and enable physiologic muscle function [24]. The wide use of these techniques originates from their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility; biomolecules are transferred within a few seconds onto a variety of surface materials, without any biomolecule degradation. Scaffolds produced by electrospinning are widely investigated for tissue engineering applications due to the ability of this technique to process various polymers (both synthetic and natural) into fibers, control fiber size and orientation, and mimic the size scale of natural extracellular matrix (ECM) fibers [53]. Structure and Shape Memory Properties of Polyurethane Copolymers Having Urethane Chains as Soft Segments. Adapted from Ostrovidov S, Hosseini V, Ahadian S, Fujie T, Parthiban SP, Ramalingam M, et al. These values can be corrected to get D¯H/D¯C, since the cell diameter D¯C is approximately 1.62 D¯S. Therefore, when engineering a skeletal muscle tissue, one of the key points is to prealign the cells to obtain increased muscle fiber formation [12]. Conventional polyols are polyethers or polyesters. Although various techniques have been developed to improve the biocompatibility of polyurethane and very exciting in vitro results have been acquired, it is the in vivo measurements that predominate. Julian Chesterman, ... Joachim Kohn, in Principles of Tissue Engineering (Fifth Edition), 2020. Capillary force lithography (CFL) and solvent-assisted CFL can be also used for the fabrication of nanopatterned substrates [45,56,57]. In addition, PCL copolymers with PGA and PLA were investigated to better control scaffold degradation and mechanical properties (Table 7.2). (2009) reported cell-type specific evaluation of biocompatibility of commercially available polyurethanes in more detail. The low viscosity reactant mixtures do not require high pressure for mold filling and therefore the strength requirements for the molds are lower, the clamping units are smaller, and large parts are more easily achieved. As we already know from in vitro results that the surface plays a very important role in the bio-compatibility of polyurethanes, is it also true for in vivo? Since by use of stochastic porogen methods (e.g., thermally induced phase separation, solvent casting/particulate leaching), random porous structures are produced with low pore interconnection and high batch-to-batch variation, inverse opal scaffolds can be considered as they allow for a well-ordered structure, uniform pores, and high reproducibility among the production batches [59,60]. PLLA, poly-l-lactide acid; PLGA, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid); PCL, poly(ε-caprolactone); PLCL, poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone); PANi, polyaniline. After learning the raw materials, let us proceed with polyurethane properties. They’re exceptional in combining rigid plastics strength with rubber flexibility and elasticity. In these polymers the biodegradation mechanism involves the hydrolytic cleavage of the ester bonds in the ɛ-caprolactone/l-lactide copolymer segments to form low molecular weight blocks of the nondegradable hard segments, which are ultimately excreted from the body via the liver and/or kidney. Biodegradable polymers are made from biocompatible diisocyanates, such as lysine-diisocyanate or hexamethylene diisocyanate, that release nontoxic degradation products. Polyurethanes (PUR) are one of the largest classes of polymers with properties that can be tailored over a wide range for a large number of application. The whole spectrum from open- to closed-cell structures is possible; holes in the middle of faces can vary in size, or there can be a combination of open and closed faces. This training is designed to provide an overview of how the selection of isocyanate structure and reactivity combined with the proper selection of polyols allows the polyurethane formulator to design and tailor the physical properties of polyurethanes for specific applications. In addition, they should provide adequate control in tissue remodeling and their degradation should occur over time as new tissue forms in their place [23]. Polyurethanes have been used in biomedical applications since the 1960s, particularly as a blood-contacting material in cardiovascular devices [240,241]. Among the many variations are polyurethanes with properties tailored for automotive applications, such as bumpers, and others that are molded with a foaming agent to create rigid or flexible foams. However, most sections of a cell are smaller than its maximum cross-section. These polymers have a typical segment structure specific to PU elastomers. Even though electrospun aligned fibers can influence cell behavior via contact guidance, literature [23,54] reports that cells could be unable to infiltrate the electrospun mats due to their close packing density. A combination of printed cell-repellent and cell-adhesive molecules could also be used to guide cell adhesion onto a patterned area of the surface. Structures of the polyurethane ionomers Among PUIs, polyurethane anionomers, polyurethane cationomers and polyurethane zwitterionomers should be distinguished. For RIM, shrinkage is compensated by a different mechanism. The diameter of the equivalent circle (the circle with the same included area) was computed for each cell (or hole). DOI: 10.1080/00222348.2011.562091. Interestingly, the presence of MMT nanoparticles improves the PLA protection efficiency on the marble surfaces. Particularly, antigraffiti tests were conducted on Lecce stone (LS), which is a fossiliferous biocalcarenite widely used by architects and sculptors during the Baroque period. The good thermal insulating properties of rigid polyurethane foams result from the combination of a fine, closed-cell foam structure and cell gases that resist heat … Cut cell boundaries consisting of linked faces and vertices. Polyurethanes are part of an artificial rubber family of elastomers. The molding cycle is initiated when the mold closes and the system changes from the recirculation to shot preparation. The molding cycle can be described with aid of Figure 3.72, a schematic diagram of the RIM process equipment. The design of biodegradable polyurethanes has required alternative diisocyanate compounds since traditional aromatic diisocyanates are toxic and suspected carcinogens. A wide range of physical and mechanical properties have been realized with commercial polyurethanes. British Vita (Kay Metzeler, Ashton-under-Lyne) is a major UK source of such remoulded (or ‘chip’) PU foam. This method evidences some advantages compared to other methods able to fabricate nanostructures, such as electrospinning. SEM of unloaded chip foam of density Il3 kgm−3 from a judo mat (Mills, 2003). Polyurethane, any of a class of synthetic resinous, fibrous, or elastomeric compounds belonging to the family of organic polymers made by the reaction of diisocyanates (organic compounds containing two functional groups of structure ―NCO) with other difunctional compounds such as glycols. Hence, for SMR it is important to recognize how porosity, diameter and density of fibers, substrate stiffness, bioactivity, and biocompatibility affect both local and systemic host response [24]. The area fraction of solid polymer (mainly in vertices) AV in the sampled cross-section. Polyurethanes(PUs)areuniquepolymer materialswith a wide range of physical and chemical properties. Wolfe (1982) attributed high resilience to thick cell edges, and a proportion of closed cells in PU foams. The Sunmate slow-recovery foams, from Dynamic Systems Inc (Leicester, NC, USA), respond to a heat stimulus by softening; this is claimed to relieve localised high sitting pressures. The main advantage of this technique is that it does not require harsh chemicals, making it suitable for patterning biologically active layers. One advantage of RIM over thermoplastic injection molding is low injection pressure. (A) Microgrooved silicon wafer (master); (B) polymeric solution is poured onto the master; and (C) detachment of the microgrooved polymeric substrate from the master. Polyurethane routinely outperforms plastic, rubber and steel in its overall ability to resist harsh environmental factors such as abrasion, … In particular, some studies are focused on the effects of different topographical features, such as size and geometry, on cell behavior [8]. Polyurethane's mechanical properties can be isolated and manipulated through creative chemistry which creates a number of unique opportunities to solve problems with performance characteristics unequaled in any other material. T.J. Touchet, E.M. Cosgriff-Hernandez, in Advances in Polyurethane Biomaterials, 2016. The slabstock process for PU flexible open-cell foam produces some scrap, which is diced into pieces of 5–10 mm diameter. For that reason, recent attempts include the investigation of relatively thick (2–2.5 mm) polymeric scaffolds with oriented pores [39,44], taking into account that a longitudinal order of the formed muscle fibers is required to generate directional force. Among the biodegradable polyester polymers, PLA, PGA, and their copolymers are the most investigated for SMR applications (Tables 7.1 and 7.2). The chemical cross-links can be introduced into the structure of polyurethanes through hard segments or soft segments [ 20 – 22 ]. Main techniques investigated for the fabrication of scaffolds for skeletal muscle regeneration. Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. After fast impingement mixing, the reacting mixture continues to flow, still driven by the pressure imparted by the metering cylinders, into the mold. Electrospun nanofibers should have a great impact on cell behavior via contact guidance effect, but, in most cases, cells are unable to infiltrate the fiber mat due to the close packing density of the fibers and the limited thickness of the mat. Laminar flow is desired for mold filling and high part quality. In our previous study, we found that by incorporation of POSS (polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes) into polyurethane, the surface tension decreased and surface morphology changed, which supported the mouse stem cell differentiation and proliferation (Guo et al., 2010). Lorraine F. Francis, in Materials Processing, 2016. The most used techniques to obtain grooved surfaces are photolithography for micrometric features and e-beam lithography for nanometric ones. 7.5) [55]. Many research groups are investigating different topographical and morphological cues into 3D scaffolds. Of course, blood biocompatibility is only a part of biocompatibility. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the properties, structure and applications of polyurethane. Groove depth appears to be the main feature that can influence cell behavior, but presently a clear explanation of the mechanism by which cells sense the topography has not yet been provided [12]. For example, CFL nanopatterns can be obtained with a great variety of topography, geometry, and thickness with a high reproducibility. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. The treatment of clean marbles was conducted by dip coating. Pereira et al. Besides the basic research, a lot of polyurethane based medical devices were prepared and placed into animals for in vivo tests, which will be discussed below. Accordingly, the treatment induced a relevant decrease of the water absorption rate of the stone substrates. On the contrary, the surface of the treated marbles rarely presents some small gypsum crystals. NJ Mills, in Polymer Foams Handbook, 2007. Where the section passes through a hole in face, the hole is filled in to complete the cell perimeter. What is urethane catalyst? The chapter also deals with the phase separation process of polyurethane and the effect of phase separation on the morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties of PU. Exposure to urethan can affect the … (1997), while X-ray CT determinations of cell diameter and edge length distributions were described in Chapter 1. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. Therefore, PCL can be selected when a long-term mechanically resistant substrate is required [10,27,31,32,37]. Biocompatibility, by definition, is the extent to which a foreign, usually implanted, material elicits an immune or other response in a recipient and the ability to co-exist with living organisms without harming them (McGraw-Hill Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 2002). The chapter details the different methods of polyurethane synthesis, various starting materials and the necessary components required for PU synthesis. The elastic anisotropy was found to be the order of 10%. Thus, this shortcoming, together with the low thickness of the substrates (some millimeters), limits their use to patches, where cells can only proliferate at the surface, instead of allowing cell infiltration into a 3D structure. Development of viscosity and elasticity during the molding cycle with the filling complete (tfill) while the viscosity is still low and debonding (tdebond) after the material has developed a sufficiently high modulus. The cell edges were in general thicker, and more cell faces were intact, which decreased the air-flow rate through the foam by a factor of 5 compared with a slabstock foam. Castor oil-derived water-based polyurethane coatings: Structure manipulation for property enhancement. After demolding the part may be “post-cured” to continue the reaction and improve properties. Polyurethane structure and properties can be tuned by selection of the specific chemistries of the reactants as well as additives. The preservation effect of the hybrid coating can be attributed to the inherent hardness of the polymer as well as to the MMT impermeable nature. Intended as nonbiodegradable coatings, polyurethanes fell out of favor with the failure of pacemaker leads and breast implant coatings. Besides changing the compositions of polyurethane, plasma and ion beam techniques are also convenient and effective ways to improve the biocompatibility of polyurethane (Melnig et al., 2005). By implanting porous D-PHI scaffolds into a subcutaneous rat model, the in vivo biocompatibility of this polyurethane was assessed with PLGA as a reference. Figure 2.12. Subsequent studies, as reviewed by Santerre et al., have clarified much about the behavior of polyurethanes in biological systems [242]. Electrospinning (Fig. Progress in Organic Coatings 2019, 133, 198-205. Figure 3.72. Incorporation of hydrolytically or enzymatically cleavable moieties into the polyurethane structure confers biodegradability; however, these modifications can also affect other physical properties. Its degradation rate is much slower than that of PLA copolymers and PGA, in the order of months to years depending on the scaffold configuration (e.g., porous, nanofibers). Journal of Macromolecular Science, Part B 2011, 50 (12) , 2290-2306. There are two reactant tanks, the contents of which recirculate through the system. The impact of these modifications on the resulting properties is determined by a number of structural and morphological factors. Ciardelli et al. Structure and properties of the polyurethane and polyurethane foam synthesized from castor oil polyols Uldis Stirna, Brigita Lazdiņa, Dzintra Vilsone, Maria J Lopez, María del Carmen Vargas-Garcia, Francisca Suárez-Estrella, and Joaquin Moreno These polymers are an example of a “smart” system in that antibacterial agents are released only when inflammation is present. 7.4B), wire drum collector, patterned electrodes, or postprocessing methods can be used to obtain aligned fibers so to mimic the anisotropic structural organization of myofibers and provide important cues for morphogenesis (e.g., myotubes formation, muscle cell alignment). PU foam with a range of cell sizes: white scale bar is 1 mm. Fitzgerald et al. Topics include polyurethanes in analytical chemistry applications from sorbent foams to conductive materials and sensors; biomedical polyurethane-based materials and blocked polyurethanes … This innovation led to the design of drug polymers (trade name: Epidel) that release the drug when degraded by enzymes generated by an inflammatory response. Careful design of the silicone-polyurethane copolymer structure is important for obtaining a coating with favorable surface, mechanical, and adhesive properties. A wonderfully bizarre polyurethane is spandex. An interesting application of polyurethanes was developed by Santerre et al. Figure 2.15 shows the edge of a compressed chip in a judo mat of density 100 kgm−3 in which the cell edges are significantly compressed. Under pressure during injection, these bubbles compress, but then they reexpand in the molded part, compensating for shrinkage. Two series of segmented polyurethanes, one containing 50% soft segments and the other with 70% soft segments were synthesized. Besides them, elastomeric polymers (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyurethane) have been investigated most of all for their ability to undergo repeated stretch and recovery cycles without failure [23]. The much denser Pudgee foam has a different microstructure in which the bubbles maintain their spherical shape. 7.2. Rigid polyurethane foam is an essential and cost-effective material that can be used for meeting required energy ratings in consumer refrigerators and freezers. Dawei Zhang, Yanju Liu, Kai Yu, Jinsong Leng. Among PLA copolymers, poly-l-lactide/trimethylene carbonate (PLLA-TMC) can be considered for SMR, as its mechanical properties are more suitable for muscle regeneration (e.g., lower Young's modulus) than the other medical-grade commercially available biodegradable synthetic polymers [8]. Polyurethanes (PUs) are a versatile class of polymers in both synthesis and applications. By varying the nature of these components, we can create numerous formulas and combinations of properties. (A) Image of an electrospinning apparatus and (B) example of a collector for nanofibers alignment. Fig. Chemical crosslinks were introduced through the hard segment in a controlled way. According to literature (Ocak et al., 2009), the gypsum crust thickness was estimated by the sulfate concentration. Fig. They can be fibers, and they can be adhesives. (2005) measured the edge width variation in a PU foam (Fig. Thermoset Polyurethane is a versatile material that, depending on how it is formulated, can range in physical properties from soft and malleable to tough and hard.Chemically, these polyurethanes are formed from a variety of prepolymers, curatives, and additives. Therefore biodegradable polyurethanes can only be obtained when the employed soft polyol segments are degradable [242]. As a medical device or implant, the evaluation of biocompatibility is essential, and good biocompatibility is the minimum requirement for any medical device. Many research groups have studied the influence of grooves on the surface of different materials, including natural and synthetic polymers, such as agarose, methacrylate gelatin, PDMS, PU, PCL, and PLGA. In the polymer chain, hard and soft segments are alternately arranged. Kamila Mizera, Joanna Ryszkowska. Fig. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. The application of spectral techniques such as FTIR and NMR in the structural determination of polyurethane are also covered. Once healing occurs, the enzyme level drops and the release of drug diminishes. The chapter gives an introduction to the polyurethane (PU) polymer, its synthesis and its structure. Fine bubbles of dry nitrogen or air are mixed into one or both of the reactants. Urethan is mainly used in the production of amino resins, but is also used in the manufacture of pesticides, fumigants, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Lyman and Picha pointed out that the blood biocompatibility of polyurethane is related to surface morphology (Lyman et al., 1975; Picha and Gibbons, 1978). Actual polyurethane structure reflects the thermodynamics of the polymer chains coming to an equilibrium structure convoluted with the kinetic limitations of a system that may be coming to a non-equilibrium state as a result of a cooling rate that is not infinitely slow (Fig. Blends and Interpenetrating Polymer Networks. TPU provides a large number of physical and chemical property combinations for the most demanding applications such as automotive, wires and cables, breathable films for leisure, sports and textile … In particular, when PDMS is used, plasma treatment and surface coating (e.g., with gelatin) are looked-for to promote cell adhesion and proliferation. The biocompatibility of polyurethane has been extensively investigated by researchers, which includes the evaluation of in vitro (cell compatibility, toxicity, mutagenicity, as well as additional in vitro tests for a specific application, which will guarantee the function and innocuousness of the device) and in vivo tests. Pieces of different colours and hardnesses are randomly mixed, with more of the isocyanate and polyol chemicals added, and remoulded under uniaxial compression. A study of the effect of crosslinking agents on the structure and properties of the millable polyurethane (PU) elastomer is reported here. The superior properties make them suitable for a wide range of applications. Phase separation … Current methods to guide preferential skeletal muscle cell orientation are based on the fabrication of 2D substrates or 3D substrates that constrain cell growth within few hundred microns, generating thick muscle bundles with active forces that are not similar to the native ones [39]. These high pressure pumps control the amount of each reactant in a “shot” and provide the force needed to deliver them at high velocity to mixing head, which is open to receive the reactants at this stage of the cycle. Entomological tests evidenced that PMMA/MMT coating provides a total protection of bread substrates as proved by the absence of mechanical damages to the artwork. Fig. With well- designed combinations of monomeric materials, PUs can be tailored to meet diversified demands of various applications such as coatings, adhesives, fibers, thermoplastic elasto- mers, and foams. Microscopy images showed that gypsum crystals completely cover the uncoated marble surface after 180 days of exposure to SO2 saturated atmosphere. The mold clamping unit is not show. The results showed that after 45–60 days from the operation, limbs with polyurethane nerve guides showed the same behavior as intact limbs (full recovery), and that the recovery process started to be evident from the 15th day. Hence, fiber alignment (unidirectional orientation) results in anisotropic mechanical properties of the scaffold that should be more appropriate for mimicking the native stress conditions in skeletal muscle. This is because chemically bound hard and soft segment structures act together [ 21 – 23 ] to affect degree of phase separation, crystallization, … Polyurethanes contain a urethane moiety in their repeating unit and were first produced by Bayer in 1937. Figure 3.73. SEM allows the observation of the exterior of a sectioned foam; the sectioning plane cuts through the structure, leaving partial cells, faces, and holes in faces. To direct skeletal muscle growth, biomimetic scaffolds must facilitate cell alignment, promote skeletal muscle formation, and stimulate vascularization and innervation [1]. The urethane bond is essentially nondegradable under physiological conditions. At temperatures below the T g of the hard phase the rigid segments, acting as physical cross-links , provide mechanical strength to the bulk material. The chemical structure and properties of polyurethane are influenced by using the metal complex systems based on transition metal for their synthesis, where metal complexes have the ability to order the chains, as well as have an effect on the chemical properties, and can improve the mechanical and anticorrosion properties … PLLA-TMC, poly-l-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate; PLGA, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid); PCL, poly(ε-caprolactone); PCU, polycarbonate-urethane; PANi, polyaniline; PLLA, poly-l-lactide acid; PDMS, poly(dimethylsiloxane); PLCL, poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone); PDA, polydopamine; MWCNT, multiwalled carbon nanotubes; PAA, polyacrylic acid; PVA, polyvinyl alcohol; GO, graphene oxide; Col, collagen; HA, hyaluronic acid; PEU, polyester urethane; SF, silk fibroin; Gel, gelatin; PGS, poly(glycerol sebacate); PIPAAm, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). In Table 2.1 the relative density values are based on a nominal PU solid density of 1200 kgm−3. 7.2) are surface patterning and electrospinning, whereas among the 3D configurations microgrooved and porous scaffold can be found (Table 7.2). RIM is also used to mold other polymers, including nylon (polyamide), epoxy and polyester. The most commonly used techniques for 2D scaffolds (Fig. In addition, a scaffold needs to balance degradation kinetics with structural and mechanical support so that its structural stability is adequate to support mechanical loading until the regenerated tissue is stable enough to withstand loading independently. Both pristine MMT and organically modified MMT (O-MMT) with high content of quaternary ammonium salt were investigated as fillers of the Fluorolink P56 matrix. In their study, human saphenous vein endothelial cells (HSVEC) and a mouse fibroblast cell line (L929) were cultivated with different commercially available polyurethane specimens. 's (2004) results (Table 2.1) relate to SEM images similar to those in Figure 2.16. The coated samples did not show any color changes. The structure - property relationships in polyurethanes (PU) have been excellently presented in the general monographs on PU [1-11]. Santerre, at the University of Toronto, recently reported a polar/hydrophobic/ionic polyurethane (D-PHI) based on lysine diisocyanate (LDI) (McBane et al., 2011). Of course there are also drawbacks: materials handling and heat transfer are more complex for RIM due to the reactive nature of the process, and the materials that can be easily adapted to this process is more limited. Based on the above examples, we can see that some polyurethanes present very good in vivo biocompatibility. (1988). Elucidation of the biodegradation mechanism and its dependence on the, Giuseppe Cavallaro, ... Stefana Milioto, in, Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials for Diagnostic, Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, ). The various categories of flexible, low-density PU foams differ in microstructure. Wenshou Wang, Chun Wang, in The Design and Manufacture of Medical Devices, 2012. The highly tunable mechanical and physicochemical properties of biodegradable polyurethanes make them promising candidates in the rapidly growing market of resorbable devices. With increasing number of cycles, the protective effectiveness of the pure polymer is significantly reduced as demonstrated by the enhancement of the ΔE value, which is close to 10 at the end of the test. It was observed that the coating generates a significant reduction of the gypsum crust thickness highlighting that PLA-based films are proper agents for the marble surface protection. where fluoroquinolone antimicrobial drugs were incorporated into the polymer as hard-segment monomers [242].
