Abstract

Chitosan (CHT) is a known piezoelectric biomacromolecule; however, its usage is limited due to rapid degradation in an aqueous system. Herein, we prepared CHT film via a solvent casting method and cross-linked in an alkaline solution. Sodium hydroxide facilitated deprotonation, leading to increased intramolecular hydrogen bonding and mechanical properties. The CHT film remained intact for 30 days in aqueous environments. A systematic study revealed a gradual increase in the output voltage from 0.9 to 1.8 V under external force (1-16 N). In addition, the CHT film showed remarkable antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities under ultrasound stimulation and inhibition of inflammatory cytokines. The CHT films also displayed enhanced cellular proliferation and ∼5-fold faster migration of NIH3T3 cells under US stimulation. Overall, this work presents a robust, biocompatible, and wearable CHT device that can transform biomechanical energy into electrical pulses for the modulation of cell fate processes and other bioactivities.

具有增强生物活性的柔韧而坚固的壳聚糖压电薄膜

壳聚糖（CHT）是一种已知的压电生物高分子；然而，它的使用受到限制，因为它在水系统中会迅速降解。本文采用溶剂浇铸法制备CHT薄膜，并在碱性溶液中交联。氢氧化钠促进去质子化，导致分子内氢键和机械性能的增加。CHT膜在水环境中保持完整30天。系统研究发现，在外力（1-16 N）作用下，CHT膜的输出电压从0.9 V逐渐升高到1.8 V。此外，在超声刺激和炎症因子抑制下，CHT膜表现出显著的抗菌和抗炎活性。CHT薄膜还显示，在US刺激下，细胞增殖增强，NIH3T3细胞的迁移速度快了约5倍。总的来说，这项工作提出了一个强大的、生物相容的、可穿戴的CHT装置，它可以将生物机械能转化为电脉冲，用于调节细胞命运过程和其他生物活性。
