Medical polyurethanes have emerged as a leading choice for biomedical applications owing to their exceptional biocompatibility and good physical and mechanical properties.Catalysts play a crucial role as additives in the synthesis of medical polyurethanes,enhancing synthesis efficiency and material properties.However,the catalysts used may affect the biocompatibility of polyurethanes and pose potential harm to human health.This review encapsulates the latest findings regarding the catalysts employed in the synthesis of medical polyurethane materials and their biotoxicity.Initially,we reviewed the prevalent types of catalysts used in the synthesis of medical polyurethane materials and described their distinctive characteristics.Subsequently,our focus shifted to exploring the potential biotoxicity associated with these catalysts.Finally,we provided a forward-looking perspective and recommendations for the future trajectory of catalyst selection in the synthesis of medical polyurethane materials.By acquiring a more profound understanding of the properties and biotoxicity of catalysts used in the synthesis of medical polyurethane materials,and by uncovering existing issues and challenges,we can better guide the design of medical polyurethane materials.This,in turn,enables us to chart the course for future development and ultimately enhance the biocompatibility and safety profiles of medical polyurethane materials.Such advancements will promote the continued development and application of medical polyurethane materials in clinical settings.
Temperature-accelerated in vitro degradation was established to estimate the longevity of polyurethane applied for long-term implantation. However, the prediction did not correlate well with the data from clinical explants and the rationality of accelerated in vitro test is still in a controversial due to the deviation. To improve the accuracy of the in vitro prediction, the influence of hydrogen bonding (HB) on the accelerated hydrolysis of silicone based polyetherurethans (SPEUs) extended with three side chains. Combining the temperature-controlled FTIR and the physical properties after temperature-accelerated in vitro degradation, it was demonstrated that side chain could increase the degree of hydrogen bond dissociation at higher temperature, resulting in the decrease of the calculated activation energy (Ea) of hydrolysis. At low temperatures, changes in surface morphology and molar mass of PEUs are minimal and HB are less easily dissociated, which had barely impact on the hydrolysis resistance. It was proposed that the Ea will not be impacted and that the accuracy of prediction will be increased if the acceleration temperature is lower than 70 °C and HB change is less than 15

Seeking high biological activity and osteoinductive ability has always been an urgent problem for three-dimensional-printed (3DP) bony implants. Here, a 3DP methacrylic anhydride-modified gelatin (GelMA)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffold with a high solid content of 82.5% was prepared and anchored by a functionalized polyphenol hydrogel. The scaffold and hydrogel were organically integrated into a bioinspired bony implant (HGH) by phenolic hydroxyl of hyaluronan derivatives conjugating amino groups of collagen I and GelMA and further chelating calcium ions of HAp. Compared with a simplex 3DP scaffold, this freeze-dried HGH presented better water retention, delayed degradation, and mechanical stability. It could promote migration, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stem cells in vitro. One week of implantation showed that it promoted directional migration of endogenous stem cells and early osteogenesis and angiogenesis. After 15 week surgery of rabbit skull defects, the BV/TV value of HGH returned to 73% of the normal group level. This strategy provided a new research idea for bone regeneration.
Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) based segmented polyether urethanes (SiPEUs) suffer from poor adhesion between apolar PDMS and polar hard domains, which results in inferior mechanical properties and inadequate stability in long-term implantation. To regulate the interfacial miscibility, three chain extenders attached with different dangling side chains (fluorinated diol FDO, silicone-based diol SDO, and hexyl-based diol HDO) were used in two-step synthesis to modify the polarity of hard segments. Thermal analysis demonstrated a higher glass transition temperature of PDMS and PTMO (poly (tetramethylene oxide)) domain in SDO modified SiPEU(SSPEU) in contrast to the samples extended with FDO and HDO. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), small-angel x-ray scattering (SAXS), and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation further proved that SSPEU was achieved with optimal interfacial miscibility compared with SPEU. The intermediate layers were proposed to be functionally percolated composed of PDMS, PTMO, MDI-SDO, and MDI-BDO units, which promoted oxidative stability under accelerated test in vitro without mechanical compromise.
A green fabrication process (organic solvent-free) of artificial scaffolds is required in tissue engineering field. In this work, a series of aligned three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds are made from biodegradable waterborne polyurethane (PU) emulsion via directional freeze-drying method to ensure no organic byproducts. After optimizing the concentration of polymer in the emulsion and investigating different freezing temperatures, an aligned PUs scaffold (PU14) generated from 14wt% polymer content and processed at -196 degrees C was selected based on the desired oriented porous structure (pore size of 32.5 +/- 9.3 mu m, porosity of 92%) and balanced mechanical properties both in the horizontal direction (strength of 41.3 kPa, modulus of 72.3 kPa) and in the vertical direction (strength of 45.5 kPa, modulus of 139.3 kPa). The response of L929 cells and the regeneration of muscle tissue demonstrated that such pure material-based aligned 3D scaffold can facilitate the development of orientated cells and anisotropic tissue regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, these pure material-based scaffolds with ordered architecture have great potentials in tissue engineering for biological anisotropic tissue regeneration, such as muscle, nerve, spinal cord and so on.

Nerve injuries in the central or peripheral nervous system threaten human health and hinder social development, and effectively repairing or regenerating nerve tissues remains a huge challenge. The rise of tissue engineering strategies has brought new light for this. Similar to the extracellular matrix, biomimetic three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffolds can provide biophysical and biochemical cues to guide cell behaviors and support tissue growth. Here, we prepared a hybrid cobalt-doped alginate/waterborne polyurethane 3D porous scaffold with nano-topology of a "coral reef-like" rough surface via two-step freeze-drying. The experimental results demonstrated that the "coral reef-like" rugged surface topology and bioactive cobalt dopant synergistically promote the neurite outgrowth and up-regulate the synaptophysin expression of neuron-like cells PC12 on the scaffold. Furthermore, the scaffold notably relieved the inflammatory response of microglial cells BV2 with the transformation from pro-inflammatory (M1) to anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype. We believe that this 3D porous scaffold offers bright design inspiration for neural tissue engineering scaffolds and holds potential applications in nerve repair.
