Achieving thermoreversible adhesion between hydrogel and living tissues in a facile way is challenging. Existing strategies bring difficulty to the chemical design and synthesis of hydrogels. Herein, an approach to achieve tough thermoreversible tissue adhesion with hydrogel is proposed, which uses a polymer solution with heat-induced sol-gel transition as the interfacial polymer matrix, with no chemical design required for the hydrogel network. When the interfacial polymer matrix is introduced to the interface of the hydrogel and living tissues, it can gelate in situ within the substrate networks under a temperature stimulus, and topologically entangle with the preexisting networks of the substrates, which generates a strong adhesion. By triggering with another temperature stimulus, the newly formed network dissociates to realize an easy detachment. Thermoreversible adhesion is demonstrated between polyacrylamide hydrogel and various porcine tissues as examples, and the mechanism of this adhesion strategy is studied by varying various influence factors. A theoretical model that can fit and predict the effects of different parameters on the adhesion energies is also established. This adhesion strategy based on topological entanglement among a thermoreversible polymer system and the substrates may broaden the achieving methods of thermoreversible tissue adhesion.
以简单的方式在水凝胶和活体组织之间实现热可逆粘附是具有挑战性的。现有的策略给水凝胶的化学设计和合成带来了困难。本文提出了一种使用具有热诱导溶胶-凝胶转变的聚合物溶液作为界面聚合物基质来实现坚韧的热可逆组织粘附的方法,该方法不需要对水凝胶网络进行化学设计。当将界面聚合物基质引入水凝胶和活体组织的界面时,它可以在温度刺激下在基质网络内原位胶凝,并与基质的预先存在的网络拓扑缠结,从而产生强粘附。通过再次触发另一个温度刺激,新形成的网络解离以实现轻松分离。以聚丙烯酰胺水凝胶为例,证明了水凝胶和各种猪组织之间的热可逆粘附,并通过改变各种影响因素来研究这种粘附策略的机制。还建立了一个可以拟合和预测不同参数对粘附能影响的理论模型。这种基于热可逆聚合物系统与基质之间拓扑缠结的粘附策略可能会拓宽热可逆组织粘附的实现方法。
