A number of polyurethane ureas (PUUs) containing 1,8-diamino-3,6-dioxooctane (DOODA) in their structure as a macrochain extender were synthesized with a different molar ratio of 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane (DADPh) to DOODA as 30:70; 50:50; 70:30. Synthesized polymers are elastic, transparent films with a thickness of 0.3 mm. According to the results of physical and mechanical tests, the tensile strength of the synthesized PUUs is in the range of (0.7-2.0) MPa, and the relative elongation at break is in the range of (73.9-584.7)%. The best physical and mechanical characteristics have the polymer synthesized with a ratio of DADPh:DOODA as 0.3:0.7 with a tensile strength of 2.0 MPa and a relative elongation of 522%. The formation of PUUs was confirmed by the method of IR-spectroscopy. Thermophysical properties synthesized by DSC, TGA methods were studied. It was established that the glass transition temperature (Tg) in a number of synthesized PUUs with DOODA is in the range from (minus) 18.50 °C to (minus) 34.52 °C. An increase in the content of 1,8-Diamino-3,6-dioxaoctane in the PUUs structure leads to a decrease in Tg and a slight increase in ΔCp during the second heating. According to the TGA, the heat resistance characteristics of the synthesized PUUs depend on the content of DOODA. When entering the structure of the PUUs DOODA, a decrease of the temperature of the start of the decomposition (T0) and the temperature of the maximal speed of the decomposition (Tmax), which is non-linear nature. T0 of the synthesized PUUs is in the range (275.16-289.8)°C and is accompanied by a slight loss of mass (0.007-0.093)%. Synthesized PUUs are heat-resistant to a temperature of 275.16 °C, which makes it possible to carry out dry sterilization of samples without changing their characteristics. Synthesized PUUs are promising materials for the immobilization of medicinal substances for further use in medicine.

Institute of Chemistry of Macromolecular Chemistry NAS of Ukraine, 48, Kharkivske shose, Kyiv, 02160, Ukraine Developed polymer composite material with Cefazolin based on polyurethane with isocyanurate fragments (PU), synthesized on the basis of polyoxypropylene glycol (POPG 1000), TDI (2,4;2,6-toluene diisocyanate) and 2,4,6-triisocyanate(trishexamethylene) isocyanate (ICC, Tolonate ™ HDT-LV, MM 1200) at a ratio of NCO: OH = 1: 1 in the medium N,N’-dimethylacetamide (DMAA) and Cefazolin (CFZ). CFZ is immobilized on isocyanurate-containing polyurethane by introducing a solution of CFZ with DMA into the reaction the amount of 5 wt. %. The synthesized polymeric material (PU-CFZ) represents a transparent film of yellow color with physical and mechanical characteristics: σ = 0,15 MPa; ε = 63.40%. According to IR spectroscopy, Cefazolin is immobilized on the polymer matrix by physically due to hydrogen interactions. The influence of biological medium 199 (BM 199) on the structure and properties of PU-CFZ during incubation for 1, 3 and 6 months was studied. It was found that after incubation in BM 199, the structure of PU-CFZ changes as a result of the interaction of enzyme molecules that are part of BM 199 with urethane and amide groups of PU. According to the results of physical and mechanical studies, after incubation in BM 199 for 6 months, PU-CFZ samples are characterized by tensile strength of 0.36 MPa and elongation at break of 98%, ie retain sufficient performance for use in biological objects for up to 6 months. Composite materials with Cefazolin are able to prolong the release of the drug for 28 days in an amount of about 30%, which is sufficient to provide a local therapeutic effect. According to the results of the cytotoxicity study of the developed material by in vitro tissue culture, it was found that the composite material based on isocyanurate-containing polyurethane with Cefazolin is biocompatible.
