Electroactive nanofibers based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and poly(alkoxy anilines) produced by electrospinning has been explored for biomaterials applications. The thermoplastic polyurethane is a biocompatible polymer with good mechanical properties. The production of TPU nanofibers requires the application of high voltage during electrospinning in order to prepare uniform mats due to its weak ability to elongate during the process. To overcome this limitation, a conductive polymer can be incorporated to the process, allowing generates mats without defects. In this study, poly(o-ethoxyaniline) POEA doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) was blended with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) by solution method. Films were produced by casting and nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning. The effect of the POEA on morphology, distribution of diameter and cell viability of the nanofibers was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of POEA in TPU provided to the mats a suitable morphology for cellular growth. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于热塑性聚氨酯(TPU)和通过静电纺丝制备的聚(烷氧基苯胺)的电活性纳米纤维已被用于生物材料应用的探索。热塑性聚氨酯是一种具有良好机械性能的生物相容性聚合物。由于TPU在静电纺丝过程中伸长能力较弱,因此在静电纺丝过程中需要施加高电压以制备均匀的垫子。为克服这一限制,可以在该过程中加入导电聚合物,从而制备出无缺陷的垫子。在本研究中,将掺杂有十二烷基苯磺酸(DBSA)的聚(邻乙氧基苯胺)(POEA)通过溶液法与热塑性聚氨酯(TPU)共混。通过浇铸制备薄膜,并通过静电纺丝制备纳米纤维。评估了POEA对纳米纤维形态、直径分布和细胞活力的影响。结果表明,在TPU中加入POEA为垫子提供了适合细胞生长的形态。©2016威利期刊公司。《生物医学材料研究杂志》A部分:第105A卷:601 - 607页,2017年。
