The aim of this study was to investigate the net effect of raw carbon nanotube (CNTs) on the final properties of polyurethane (PU)/CNT composites considering their biomedical applications. So, neat PU and PU/CNT composites containing different amounts of CNTs (0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1%) were prepared by electrospinning. Electrospinning parameters optimized to have a bead-free structure with no significant difference between their mean fiber diameter and porosity percentage. The results showed adding CNTs caused an increase in crystallinity percentage, water absorption ratio, young modulus, toughness, conductivity, degradation time in an accelerated medium, clotting time, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells adhesion. But a direct relationship between CNT percentage and the calcium adsorption was not detected. Moreover, no significant cytotoxicity was observed for 7-day extracts of all samples. These nanocomposites have a vast range of properties which make them a good candidate as neural, cardiovascular, osseous biomaterials or tendon, and ligament substitute.
本研究的目的是考虑到其生物医学应用,研究原始碳纳米管(CNT)对聚氨酯(PU)/ CNT复合材料最终性能的净效应。因此,通过静电纺丝制备了纯PU以及含有不同含量CNT(0.05%、0.1%、0.5%和1%)的PU/CNT复合材料。优化静电纺丝参数以获得无珠结构,且其平均纤维直径和孔隙率百分比之间无显著差异。结果表明,添加CNT会导致结晶度百分比、吸水率、杨氏模量、韧性、电导率、在加速介质中的降解时间、凝血时间以及人脐静脉内皮细胞粘附增加。但未检测到CNT百分比与钙吸附之间存在直接关系。此外,所有样品的7天提取物均未观察到明显的细胞毒性。这些纳米复合材料具有广泛的性能,使其成为神经、心血管、骨生物材料或肌腱和韧带替代物的良好候选材料。
