초록
본 연구는 환경 친화적인 구형 설탕입자 어셈블리에 산화제 함침 열가소성 폴리우레탄(thermoplastic poly-urethane, TPU) 매트릭스를 코팅하고 피롤 단량체의 in situ 기상 중합(vapor phase polymerization; VPP)을 사용하여 부드럽고 유연한 3차원 전도성 폴리피롤(polypyrrole, PPy)-TPU 하이브리드 스케폴드를 제조하는 공정에 관한 것이다. TPU 매트릭스의 표면과 내부 모두에서 균일한 PPy 형성을 가져오는 Py의 효과적인 침투, 확산 및 중합과 함께 설탕 입자 어셈블리의 선택적인 제거로 유연한 다공성 스케폴드를 구현하였다. 얻어진 스케폴드의 기계적 및 전기적 특성은 굽힘, 응력-변형 및 전기적 측정에 의해 조사되었다. 12시간 동안 VPP 중합한 PPy-TPU 스케폴드의 전기 저항은 1 MΩ 정도를 보였으며, 100번의 굽힘 반복 실험에도 저항값이 크게 변화하지 않았다. 시험관 내 생체 적합성은 MC3T3-E1 세포 배양 및 WST 분석법을 사용하여 확인하였다. 따라서 VPP에 의해 제조된 부드럽고 유연한 다공성 PPy-TPU 하이브리드 지지체는 실제적으로 유용할 수 있으며, 이 예비 연구는 향후 전기 자극 하에서 근육 및 신경 세포의 행동 연구를 위한 기초 데이터로 활용 가능할 것이라 기대한다.
Herein, we use in situ vapor phase polymerization (VPP) of pyrrole (Py) on an oxidant-impregnated thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix comprising a three dimensional eco-friendly sugar particle assembly to produce a soft, flexible, and conductive polypyrrole (PPy)-TPU hybrid scaffold. The selective removal of sugar assembly yielded a highly porous skeletal structure, with the effective penetration, diffusion, and polymerization of Py resulting in uniform PPy formation both on the surface and the inner side of the TPU matrix. The mechanical and electrical properties of the obtained scaffold were investigated by bending and stress?strain and electrical measurements. The electrical resistance of the scaffold prepared by 12 h polymerization, equaled 1 MΩ and did not significantly change after 100 fold bending. In vitro biocompatibility was investigated by MC3T3-E1 cell culturing with cell viability evaluated using the WST assay. Thus, the soft and flexible PPy-TPU hybrid scaffold produced by VPP might be practically useful, implying that this preliminary investigation needs to be extended to study the behavior of muscle and nerve cells under electrical stimulation.
