Abstract
A thermosensitive hydrogel based on 6-deoxy-6-arginine grafted chitosan (DAC) and poloxamer 407 (P407) is prepared for wound repair. Since P407 is a thermosensitive polymer, the resultant DAC/P407-gel exhibits thermo-responsive sol–to–gel phase transition behaviors with a phase transition temperature (Tsol/gel) of ∼ 26.5 °C, making it an appropriate material for wound healing. The DAC/P407-gel has a three-dimensional (3D) network structure with large amounts of pores, and the good air permeability of the hydrogel makes it an attractive candidate as wound dressing. The introduction of DAC can not only increase the mechanical strength of the hydrogel but also significantly enhance its biological indexes including antibacterial activity, blood-clotting index (BCI) and hemocompatibility. The cytotoxicity test reveals that the developed DAC/P407-gel also shows outstanding cytocompatibility.
期刊介绍:
European Polymer Journal is dedicated to publishing work on fundamental and applied polymer chemistry and macromolecular materials. The journal covers all aspects of polymer synthesis, including polymerization mechanisms and chemical functional transformations, with a focus on novel polymers and the relationships between molecular structure and polymer properties. In addition, we welcome submissions on bio-based or renewable polymers, stimuli-responsive systems and polymer bio-hybrids. European Polymer Journal also publishes research on the biomedical application of polymers, including drug delivery and regenerative medicine. The main scope is covered but not limited to the following core research areas:
Polymer synthesis and functionalization
• Novel synthetic routes for polymerization, functional modification, controlled/living polymerization and precision polymers.
Stimuli-responsive polymers
• Including shape memory and self-healing polymers.
Supramolecular polymers and self-assembly
• Molecular recognition and higher order polymer structures.
Renewable and sustainable polymers
• Bio-based, biodegradable and anti-microbial polymers and polymeric bio-nanocomposites.
Polymers at interfaces and surfaces
• Chemistry and engineering of surfaces with biological relevance, including patterning, antifouling polymers and polymers for membrane applications.
Biomedical applications and nanomedicine
• Polymers for regenerative medicine, drug delivery molecular release and gene therapy
The scope of European Polymer Journal no longer includes Polymer Physics.
