Obtenção e caracterização de blendas colágeno-quitosana

Abstract: Recebido em 15/8/01; aceito em 19/2/02 PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF COLLAGEN-CHITOSAN BLENDS. Biodegradable polymer blends were obtained using collagen and chitosan. Membranes of collagen and chitosan in different proportions (3:1, 1:1 and 1:3) were prepared by mixing their acetate solutions (pH 3.5) at room temperature. The blends were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, specific viscosity, water abs… Show more

“…The main applications of these biopolymers are in wound treatments and controllable drug release 35,36 . It is worth mentioning that the combination between two or more synthetic or natural polymers in the form of complexes or blends, makes it possible to obtain devices with improved chemical, mechanical and biological properties when compared to the isolated polymers 33,37,38 . In general, about the mechanical properties of the different types of biomaterials, it can be noted that the modulus of elasticity of the polymers is generally around 5 GPa, while for fibers it can reach 15 GPa, for ceramic and metallic materials, the values are approximately 9.0 to 980 GPa 39 .…”

“…22 Therefore, if this ratio was close to 0.5, the integrity of the collagen triple helix is compromised; if this ratio was closer to 1, the integrity of amide III and CAH bond of the pyrrolidine ring of the type I collagen triple helix is maintained. 23 …”

“…This is an important feature, for this structure is considered to be responsible with the collagen's biological and mechanical properties. 1 Taking into account the complex interactions between CS and collagen and the fact that the principal components analysis (PCA) for IR data examination 26 leads to the conclusion that new hydrogen bonding networks alter the collagen helical character, more experiments need to be done in the future at various pH and CS content.…”

“…Patients with thick skin injuries and cartilage-associated diseases need biomaterials for wound healing. 1 Implant associated infections often limit the use of biomaterials, thus, novel biopolymeric materials possessing antimicrobial activity provide the best solution to ensure a bacteria-free implant site. In this regard, chitosan, a natural biopolymer with inherent characteristics such as bio-degradability, bio-compatibility, antimicrobial, antiviral and immune-adjuvant properties could be a good choice for hybrid based materials.…”
