Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Degradable Responsive Polyurethane Microsphere
Abstract:
The present study describes degradable polyurethane (PU) microspheres fabricated using toluene diisocyanate, polycaprolactone, polyethylene glycol, 2, 2-hydroxymethyl-2-propionic acid and triethylamine for drug delivery. The novel microspheres were synthesized using self-emulsion and condensed phase separation method. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrum analysis (FTIR) was performed revealing the chemical structure of polyurethane microspheres with special chains changing. Swelling properties influenced by solvent polarity, PEG content, PEG molecular weight, were evaluated, suggesting that the swelling ratio (SR) of PU microspheres increased with the increase in solvent polarity, PEG content and PEG molecular weight respectively.
