Facile Preparation of Mussel-Inspired Polyurethane Hydrogel and Its Rapid Curing Behavior

Abstract: A facile method was found to incorporate a mussel-inspired adhesive moiety into synthetic polymers, and mussel mimetic polyurethanes were developed as adhesive hydrogels. In these polymers, a urethane backbone was substituted for the polyamide chain of mussel adhesive proteins, and dopamine was appended to mimic the adhesive moiety of adhesive proteins. A series of mussel mimetic polyurethanes were created through a step-growth polymerization based on hexamethylene diisocyanate as a hard segment, PEG having di… Show more

“…It has been pointed out that mono-complex could be formed between catechol and Fe 3+ ions at low pH value. [35][36][37] However, the monocomplexation could not lead to effective crosslinking. On the other hand, Fe 3+ ions could also promote catechol-catechol covalent linkages formation, which is a fast reaction at pH ≤ 3.…”

“…PolyurethanesPolyurethanes (PU) are segmented polymers with alternating soft and hard segments and their overall properties can be tailored chemically to meet specific property requirements by selecting different soft segments and processing conditions. PU has already been used in different biomedical applications[228][229][230]. Bonakdar et al 2010 prepared PVA hydrogels cross-linked with biodegradable polyester PU having PVA/prepolymer ratios of 8, 4, 2 and 1.…”
