摘要
Soft tissue adhesives made from natural hydrogel are attractive in clinical applications due to their excellent properties, such as high water content, good biocompatibility, low immune, good biodegradability. Hydrogels derived from natural polysaccharides and proteins are ideal components for soft tissue adhesive since they resemble the extracellular matrices of the tissue composed of various sugar and amino acids-based macromolecules. In this paper, a series of novel tissue adhesives mixed by aldehyde sodium alginate (ASA) with amino gelatin (AG) were developed and characterized. The effect of aldehyde content in ASA and amino group content in AG on the properties of ASA/AG cross-linked hydrogel was measured. The results showed the gelling time, swelling behavior and the bonding strength of the hydrogel can be tuned by varying the content of aldehyde groups in ASA and the content of amino groups in AG. The gelation time could be controlled within 4-18min. When the aldehyde content of ASA is 75.24% and the amino content of AG is 0.61mmol/g, the hydrogel almost has the adhesive strength equal to the commercially available adhesive fibrin glue. So, this tunable ASA/AG hydrogels in this study could be a promising candidate as soft tissue adhesive and have a wide range of biomedical applications.
