Novel semi‐interpenetrated networks based on collagen‐polyurethane‐polysaccharides in hydrogel state for biomedical applications

Abstract: The development of collagen hydrogels with tailored properties for improved applications in biomedicine represents an area of opportunity for materials science. The collagen can form semi-interpenetrated networks (semi-IPN) with various natural and/or synthetic polymers. This work aims the preparation of novel hydrogels generated from a collagen matrix cross-linked with polyurethane (PU), and the subsequent inclusion of polysaccharide chains to form semi-IPN systems with improved properties. The choice of poly… Show more

“…The increment in the reticulation index, as well as the generation of the IPN alginate-PU matrix, generates regions with crystal order characterized by resisting the thermal degradation requiring more heat to remove the short-range interactions such as intermolecular hydrogen bonds (associated with molecular entanglements) and crosslinking bonds, this is strong evidence for the characterization of an IPN system [35]. This improvement in resistance to thermal degradation is in accordance with the increment in the crystallinity and mechanical improvement, as has been reported in various works where other biopolymers are modified [24,25].…”

“…The presence of crystalline phases in the prepared hydrogels was evaluated by WAXS, in Fig. 2b It has been shown that the generation of interpenetrating polymeric matrix systems generates regions with characteristic crystallinity, this is associated with the crosslinking, entanglement, and interpenetration interactions of polymeric agents producing regions with molecular order that can diffract X-rays [24,25,31]. Hydrogel systems based on IPN networks with crystalline regions provide sites with selective modulation in cellular processes optimizing the biological response in biomedical applications; cell-material interaction is important to regulate cell metabolism; in this way, cells that adhere to crystalline or amorphous surfaces would experience characteristic stimuli that affect their metabolism and secretion of important cytokines in the healing process [32]; this could be beneficial to favor the wound healing processes if these matrices are applied as wound healing dressings.…”
