基于非对称浸润性结构的自泵敷料(SPDs)已发展成为一种用于伤口过量渗液引流的新型有效材料,然而,由于亲、疏水层之间的界面力学稳定性较弱,目前的SPDs容易失去其不对称浸润性。
近日,中国科学院理化技术研究所王树涛研究员和时连鑫副研究员等人在Science China Materials发表研究论文,通过冰模板辅助浸润诱导转移(WET)聚合策略,制备了一种一体化的、具有定向微通道的自泵油水凝胶敷料(SPD-AM),可以加速糖尿病伤口的愈合过程。
1) WET策略使疏水油凝胶层和亲水水凝胶层之间具有强界面力学稳定性,定向排列的微通道大大提高了SPD的导水能力。2) 以糖尿病大鼠模型为例,相比其他敷料,SPD-AM可显著减少细菌定植,降低炎症反应,促进真皮重塑约47.31%,缩短创面愈合时间约1/5,并最终加速糖尿病创面愈合。本研究对开发下一代面向临床应用的具有稳定力学性能的自泵敷料具有重要价值。Figure 1.
