基于季铵化壳聚糖静电钝化稳定黑磷纳米片的多功能水凝胶构建及其性能评价

Enhanced stability and performance study of black phosphorus nanosheets achieved through incorporation into a quaternized chitosan hydrogel

  • 摘要: 黑磷纳米片(BPNSs)在生物医学领域潜力巨大,但其环境稳定性差。本文利用腺嘌呤修饰的季铵化壳聚糖(HACC-A)通过静电钝化(季铵阳离子与BP表面孤对电子相互作用)稳定BPNSs,形成BP-HACC-A复合物(7 d降解率从66.32%降至37.36%)。进而,以该复合物为前驱体,利用HACC-A上的氨基与星形八臂交联剂POSS-PEG-CHO通过希夫碱反应构建动态共价水凝胶(BP@Gel)。体系中HACC-A兼具BPNSs稳定剂与水凝胶骨架双重角色,BPNSs作为功能添加剂赋予光热转换能力,POSS-PEG-CHO提供力学增强与自修复。水凝胶封装使BPNSs的降解率进一步降至18.45%(7 d)和29.63%(14 d)。所得水凝胶具有均匀多孔结构、可调溶胀(900-1300%)、快速凝胶化(~200 s)、高储能模量(2300 Pa)、自修复、可注射及强组织粘附(36.2 kPa)。在808 nm激光照射下,BP@Gel呈浓度和功率依赖性升温(47℃)且循环稳定;抗菌实验显示,无光照时抗菌率42.6%(E. coli)和31.8%(S. aureus),光照后升至96.8%和92.4%,体现光热协同效应。该水凝胶还具有良好的细胞相容性。本工作通过明确组分分工与协同机制,为BP稳定化及多功能水凝胶构建提供了新策略。

     

    Abstract: Black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) hold great promise for biomedical applications but suffer from poor environmental stability. Herein, we stabilize BPNSs via electrostatic passivation using adenine-modified quaternized chitosan (HACC-A), where the permanent cationic groups interact with the lone-pair electrons of BPNSs to form BP-HACC-A complexes, reducing the 7-day degradation rate from 66.32% to 37.36%. These complexes are then used as precursors to construct a dynamic covalent hydrogel (BP@Gel) through Schiff-base reaction between the amino groups of HACC-A and an eight-armed POSS-PEG-CHO crosslinker. In this system, HACC-A plays a dual role as both a BPNSs stabilizer and a hydrogel backbone, BPNSs act as a functional additive providing near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion, and POSS-PEG-CHO contributes to mechanical reinforcement and self-healing. Encapsulation within the hydrogel further lowers the degradation rate of BPNSs to 18.45% (7 d) and 29.63% (14 d). The resulting hydrogels exhibit a uniform porous structure, tunable swelling (900–1300%), rapid gelation (~200 s), high storage modulus (2300 Pa), self-healing, injectability, and strong tissue adhesion (36.2 kPa). Under 808 nm laser irradiation, BP@Gel shows concentration- and power-dependent photothermal heating (up to 47 ℃) with excellent cycling stability. Antibacterial assays reveal that without NIR irradiation the antibacterial rates are 42.6% (E. coli) and 31.8% (S. aureus), which increase dramatically to 96.8% and 92.4% upon NIR exposure, demonstrating a photothermal-enhanced “heat-boosted chemical killing” effect. The hydrogel also displays good cytocompatibility. By clearly defining the role of each component and their synergy, this work provides a new strategy for stabilizing BPNSs and constructing multifunctional hydrogels.
