The primary hydrogel network comprises Pluronic P123, while the secondary network comprises gelatinmethacrylate (GELMA) and polyacrylamide (PAM). A systematic approach is adopted to develop DN hydrogels. Initially, the impact of Pluronic P123 concentrationon the mechanical properties of PAM-GELMA hydrogel is investigated. Results from the tensile strength and the oscillatory shear tests reveal that an increasing P123 concentration has a marginal effect on the storage modulus while significantly reducing the loss modulus of the PAM-GELMA hydrogel, thereby improving mechanical properties. Notably, DN3 hydrogel containing 7.5w/v% P123 in PAM-GELMA exhibits osteoid matrix-like mechanical properties. To further enhance the mechanical properties, citrate-containing amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP_CIT) is incorporated in DN3 hydrogel at varying concentrations. At a lower concentration of ACP_CIT (0.75 w/v%), the mechanical properties of DN3-ACP0.75 hydrogel are notably enhanced. Incorporating ACP_CIT in DN3 hydrogel (DN3-ACP0.75) decreases creep strain, rapid stress relaxation, and reduced water uptake capacity while maintaining the thermoresponsive behavior. Finally, an in vitro analysis confirms the cytocompatibility of the hydrogels with MC3T3-E1 cells, indicating the potential use in bone tissue engineering.</p>","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"309 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400177","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142861134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a biodegradable polymer with exceptional film-forming ability resembling those of low-density polyethylene. PBAT has a huge advantage for packaging applications due to its remarkably high elongation at break, giving it a good processing window for its application in packaging. However, certain defiant intrinsic properties stand in the way of its full commercialization. The development of blends and biocomposites of PBAT has, therefore, become imperative for complementing its properties and producing a superior material. This paper focuses on the recent developments in preparing PBAT-based blends and biocomposites with superior mechanical, barrier, and antimicrobial properties and, most importantly, has also investigated how the development of these blends and biocomposites impacts the biodegradation rate of PBAT. It also highlights the possible synthesis of bio-based PBAT and the commercialization, market trends, and prospects of PBAT-based materials for flexible, rigid packaging, and other industrial applications compared with biodegradable alternatives.</p>","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"309 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400179","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), which has high dimensional stability owing to low crystallinity, is used as the main polymer of the HMA. And rosin maleic resin, which is effective for increasing adhesive properties and compatibility as a tackifier. The HMA based on PBAT and RMR blends are prepared via melt-blend extrusion. Compatibility and wettability are increased under the influence of RMR, and adhesion properties are improved, compared to that of PBAT. In addition, as confirmed polarizing microscope (POM), the addition of RMR leads to a decrease in crystallinity, which can be expected to be effective for biodegradation.
