Soybean oil‐based polyurethane networks as candidate biomaterials: Synthesis and biocompatibility

Abstract: Biobased polymeric materials are gaining increasing attention in biomedical areas. Here, we report a new class of biocompatible polyurethanes prepared from soybean oil-based polyol that was synthesized by ring-opening reaction of epoxidized monoglyceride (EMG) with lactic acid. By adjusting the molar ratio of hydroxyl to isocyanate group and the content of chain extender, soybean oil-based polyurethanes with tensile strength of 9.30-27.1 MPa and elongation at break of 74.1-110.7% were prepared, while usual lip… Show more

“…The lactic acid‐incorporated polymer has an improved glass transition temperature, tensile strength, and biocompatible. According to Miao et al , the biocompatibility of polyurethane using a lactic acid initiator was tested in mice, and cell proliferation was confirmed on polyurethane. Polyurethane made from plant oil based 10‐Undecenoic acid is also known to be biocompatible .…”

“…As already indicated for general implants, when the natural regeneration of damaged tissues is not viable a possible solution is to install an artificial scaffold in the damaged area to facilitate the regeneration process . Scaffolds help to ensure the agglomeration of cells into tissues, affecting their shape and mobility whilst also providing mechanical support . After fulfilling its purpose, the implant should undergo gradual degradation to be replaced by natural tissue without negatively impacting the human body…”
