The effects of the various methods on the swelling and mechanical properties of the hydrogels were investigated. The results show that hydrogels made by UV ra. plus high energy electron beam irradiation followed by FT showed a higher crosslinking density and a larger tensile strength than those made by the other methods.展开更多

The effects of different plasticizers on the mechanical properties and adhesion properties of the hydrogels were investigated. The results show that the plasticizer can improve the elongation and peeling force. The most pronotmced changes in the tensile property of the hydrogels are due to the addition of glycerol followed by PEG, the lower the plasticizer＇s molecular weight, the greater its effect. The maximum peeling force is 0.317 or 0.257 N with PEG or glycerol as plasticizer, respectively, and their adhesion properties are due to the formation of hydrogen bonds.展开更多

In the present study, composites of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate(PEGDA) hydrogels and anisotropic highshrinkage polyethylene terephthalate/polyamide6(PET-PA6) fabric(PEGDA/PET-PA6) were fabricated as artificial heart valve leaflets. Dynamic mechanical analyses(DMA) indicated that PEGDA/PET-PA6 composites possessed anisotropic mechanical properties(i.e., storage moduli ~23.30 ± 1.36 MPa parallel to the aligned fabric fibers and ~9.68 ± 0.90 MPa perpendicular to the aligned fibers at 1 Hz) that were comparable to aortic valve leaflets. The PEGDA/PET-PA6 composites with smooth surfaces were highly hydrophilic(contact angle ~41.6°± 3.8°) and had low-fouling properties without platelet adhesion,suggesting a low risk of thrombogenicity when they interacted with blood. Furthermore, transcatheter aortic heart valves were fabricated using nitinol self-expanding frames and PEGDA/PET-PA6 composites as artificial leaflets, which presented excellent hemodynamic performance with a large orifice area(1.75cm2) and low regurgitation(3.41%), thus meeting the requirements of ISO 5840-3 standard. Therefore,PEGDA/PET-PA6 composites had suitable mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, and low-fouling properties, indicating that they might be used for TAHVs in the future.展开更多
