Although poly(lactide) (PLA), when used as biomaterials, possesses many good properties, its high hydrophobicity and slow degradation may hinder its applications. In this work, a novel star-like oligomeric silsesquioxane-(poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(d-lactide)) (POSS-(PDMAEMA-b-PDLA)) was first synthesized through a three-step procedure that involves Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization of DMAEMA initiated by the macroinitiator POSS-8-CTA, and then conversion of the trithiocarbonated end groups on PDMAEMA arms into hydroxyl groups by a combination of aminolysis and Michael addition followed by controlled ring-opening polymerization of D-LA. In the next step, the synthesized hybrid copolymer POSS-(PDMAEMA-b-PDLA) was blended with PLLA in solution to form nanocomposites to further modify the thermo-mechanical and degradation properties of PLLA. It was noted that the outer PDLA shell could facilitate POSS-(PDMAEMA-b-PDLA) to be well-dispersed in PLLA matrix through stereocomplex (SC) interaction, and the inner PDMAEMA shell endowed PLLA with good hydrophilicity. The SC formation between POSS-(PDMAEMA-b-PDLA) and PLLA was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The surface wettability of the PLLA was enhanced due to the presence of hydrophilic PDMAEMA segments and the contact angle values decreased with increasing amount of PDMAEMA in the nanocomposites. Meanwhile, controlled degradation of PLLA in a faster pace was achieved when the nanocomposites were incubated in different pH solutions, indicating its potential in specific biomedical applications.
尽管聚丙交酯(PLA)作为生物材料使用时具有许多优良性能,但其高疏水性和缓慢降解性可能会阻碍其应用。在本研究中,首先通过三步法合成了一种新型的星状低聚倍半硅氧烷 -(聚(2 - 二甲基氨基乙基甲基丙烯酸酯)-b-聚(d-丙交酯))(POSS -(PDMAEMA - b - PDLA)),该方法包括由大分子引发剂POSS - 8 - CTA引发DMAEMA的可逆加成 - 断裂链转移(RAFT)聚合反应,然后通过氨解和迈克尔加成反应将PDMAEMA臂上的三硫代碳酸酯端基转化为羟基,随后进行D - LA的可控开环聚合反应。下一步,将合成的杂化共聚物POSS -(PDMAEMA - b - PDLA)与PLLA在溶液中混合形成纳米复合材料,以进一步改善PLLA的热机械性能和降解性能。值得注意的是,外部的PDLA壳层可通过立体复合(SC)相互作用促进POSS -(PDMAEMA - b - PDLA)在PLLA基体中良好分散,而内部的PDMAEMA壳层赋予PLLA良好的亲水性。通过差示扫描量热法(DSC)和X射线衍射(XRD)分析证实了POSS -(PDMAEMA - b - PDLA)与PLLA之间形成了SC。由于亲水性PDMAEMA链段的存在,PLLA的表面润湿性增强,并且纳米复合材料中PDMAEMA含量增加时,接触角值减小。同时,当纳米复合材料在不同pH溶液中孵育时,实现了PLLA更快速度的可控降解,表明其在特定生物医学应用中的潜力。
