Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Polyurethanes (PU) derived from vegetable oils offer a sustainable base for biomedical applications.
  • Enhancing the biocompatibility and functionality of PU is crucial for developing advanced biomedical products.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the blending of gelatin with proprietary noncytotoxic polyurethanes (PU) derived from vegetable oils.
  • To characterize the resulting PU/gelatin blends for potential use in novel biomedical products.

Main Methods:

  • Blending gelatin with polyurethanes at various weight ratios.
  • Characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphology.
  • Evaluation of mechanical, thermal, degradation, surface, cell adhesion, and bioactivity properties.

Main Results:

  • Blend miscibility was higher in amorphous PUs derived from oleic acid.
  • Properties of PU/gelatin films were significantly influenced by gelatin concentration.
  • Gelatin incorporation enhanced PU hydrophilicity, bioactivity, and cell adhesion.

Conclusions:

  • PU/gelatin blends show promise as novel biomedical materials.
  • Gelatin addition positively impacts key properties, particularly hydrophilicity and cell interaction.
  • The concentration of gelatin is a critical factor in tailoring blend performance.
