Fabrication of biodegradable polyurethane microspheres by a facile and green process

Abstract: Two different compositions of water-based biodegradable polyurethane (PU) in the form of homogeneous nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using biodegradable polyesters as the soft segment. The first PU (PU01) was based on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) diol and the second PU (PU02) was based on 40% PCL diol and 60% polyethylene butylene adipate diol. The PU NP dispersions with different solid contents were sprayed into liquid nitrogen and resuspended in water to generate elastic microspheres (50-60 µm) with diffe… Show more

“…At the same time, the larger specific surface area provides storage places for target molecules, which could be used in biomedical applications. 7 For example, Budriene et al 8 synthesized PU microspheres with a good thermal stability and narrow particle size distribution, using 4,4′-diphenyl-methane diisocyanate and poly(tetrahydrofuran) as raw materials, and the fixation rate of maltogenase reached 97.5%. Liu et al 9 successfully prepared two kinds of PU microspheres with a shape memory function using polycarbonate and isophorone diisocyanate or hexamethylene diisocyanate as raw materials for vascular embolization, respectively.…”

“…As a new type of organic polymer material, PU microspheres contain many polar chemical groups, such as −NHCOO, which exhibit high adsorption, chelation, and ion exchange, as well as good stability in an aqueous solution. At the same time, the larger specific surface area provides storage places for target molecules, which could be used in biomedical applications . For example, Budriene et al synthesized PU microspheres with a good thermal stability and narrow particle size distribution, using 4,4′-diphenyl-methane diisocyanate and poly­(tetrahydrofuran) as raw materials, and the fixation rate of maltogenase reached 97.5%.…”

“…Among all the morphologies studied, PU microspheres which have attracted wide attention for their merits of excellent mechanical properties, high adsorption, good blood compatibility and stability, are of great potential as adsorbents, drug carriers, coatings and paints. [4][5][6] Several different structural PU microspheres have been prepared to expand its application, including solid microspheres, 7 nanoparticle coated microspheres 8 and porous/hollow microspheres. 6,9,10 During the last decade, polymer microspheres with hollow interiors displayed diverse applications, including encapsulation of drug compounds, protection of sensitive agents and adsorption of pollutants.…”
