Summary: | Over the past few decades, there have been advancements in the development of high-performance tissue adhesives as alternatives to traditional sutures and staples for rapid and effective wound closure post-surgery. While tissue adhesives offer advantages such as ease of use, short application time, and minimal tissue damage, they also face challenges related to biocompatibility, biodegradability, and adhesive strength. In this study, L-lysine diisocyanate (LDI) and trimethylolpropane (TMP) were utilized as the primary raw materials to produce a prepolymer terminated with NCO, resulting in the development of a new biocompatible polyurethane tissue adhesive (TMP-LDI). Additionally, SiO
nanoparticles were incorporated into the prepolymer, significantly enhancing the adhesive strength of the TMP-LDI tissue adhesive through the "nanobridging effect," achieving a strength of 170.4 kPa. Furthermore, the SiO
/TMP-LDI tissue adhesive exhibited satisfactory temperature change during curing and degradation performance. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that SiO
/TMP-LDI exhibited good biocompatibility, efficient hemostasis, antimicrobial properties, and the ability to promote wound healing. This research presents a novel approach for the development of tissue adhesives with superior adhesive performance. |
