Abstract
Bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance remain significant contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite recent advances in biomedical research, a substantial number of medical devices and implants continue to be plagued by bacterial colonisation, resulting in severe consequences, including fatalities. The development of nanostructured surfaces with mechano-bactericidal properties has emerged as a promising solution to this problem. These surfaces employ a mechanical rupturing mechanism to lyse bacterial cells, effectively halting subsequent biofilm formation on various materials and, ultimately, thwarting bacterial infections. This review delves into the prevailing research progress within the realm of nanostructured mechano-bactericidal polymeric surfaces. It also investigates the diverse fabrication methods for developing nanostructured polymeric surfaces with mechano-bactericidal properties. We then discuss the significant challenges associated with each approach and identify research gaps that warrant exploration in future studies, emphasizing the potential for polymeric implants to leverage their distinct physical, chemical, and mechanical properties over traditional materials like metals.

Abstract
In many application fields of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), excellent flame retardancy and transparency are required. However, higher flame retardancy is often at the expense of transparency. It is difficult to achieve high flame retardancy while maintaining the transparency of TPU. In this work, a kind of TPU composite with good flame retardancy and light transmittance was obtained by adding a new synthetic flame retardant named DCPCD, which was synthesized by the reaction of diethylenetriamine and diphenyl phosphorochloridate. Experimental results showed that 6.0 wt % DCPCD endowed TPU with a limiting oxygen index value of 27.3%, passing the UL 94 V-0 rating in the vertical burning test. The cone calorimeter test results showed that the peak heat release rate (PHRR) of the TPU composite was dramatically reduced from 1292 kW/m2 (pure TPU) to 514 kW/m2 by adding only 1 wt % DCPCD. With the increase of DCPCD contents, the PHRR and total heat release gradually decreased, and the char residue gradually increased. More importantly, the addition of DCPCD has little effect on the transparency and haze of TPU composites. In addition, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were carried out to investigate the morphology and composition of the char residue for TPU/DCPCD composites and explore the flame retardant mechanism of DCPCD in TPU.

[PMID: 35335522 PMCID: PMC8948706 DOI: 10.3390/polym14061183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Graphene-thermopolyurethane (G-TPU) composite films were fabricated and the effects of the TPU initial concentration, characteristics of TPU, and graphene loading on the electrical, mechanical, thermal, infrared thermal response and near-infrared-light-assisted self-healing properties of the composite films were investigated in detail. The experimental results demonstrate that the comprehensive performances of the composite film are related to the initial concentration of the TPU solution and the characteristics of the TPU and the graphene loading. The composite film prepared from TPU solution with low initial concentration can have conductivity under the condition of low graphene content. However, the composite film prepared with appropriate initial concentration of TPU solution and high graphene loading is conducive to obtain high conductivity. After 60 s of near-infrared illumination, the temperature of the composite film first increases and then decreases with the increase in graphene loading until it reaches saturation. The near-infrared light thermal response of the composite film with high graphene loading is related to the initial concentration of TPU solution, while the near-IR thermal response of the composite film with low graphene loading is independent of the initial concentration of TPU. The surface micro-cracks of the composite film almost disappeared after 10 min of near-infrared illumination. The resistance of the conductive composite film increases after healed. The composite film prepared with low melting point TPU is more favorable to obtain high near-IR thermal self-healing efficiency.
