研究目的
To investigate the fabrication, characterization, and degradation of step-index biodegradable polymer optical fibers (bioPOFs) made from poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PDLGA) and poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) for potential biomedical applications.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the fabrication of biodegradable step-index polymer optical fibers with record low attenuation and suitable properties for biomedical applications. The fibers showed controlled degradation in PBS, making them promising for applications like photodynamic therapy.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the challenge of avoiding vacuum voids during preform fabrication and the substantial molecular mass reduction due to prolonged melting time. The in vitro degradation results may not fully predict in vivo behavior due to differences in physiological conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of bioPOFs using a rod-in-tube technique and standard heat drawing process. The chemical and optical properties of the polyesters were characterized throughout the fabrication process.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study used commercially available polyesters, PDLGA and PDLLA, as starting materials. The optical and chemical properties were measured using various techniques including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and spectrophotometry.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a TA instrument Q2000 DSC device, Waters GPC Alliance 2695 for SEC, Jenoptik HEX04 compression molding machine, Jasco V670-EX Spectrophotometer, Anton Paar Abbemat MW Refractometer, and a standard heat drawing process setup.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The preforms were prepared using a rod-in-tube technique and drawn into fibers. The fibers were then characterized for their optical and chemical properties, and their degradation in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was studied.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed using standard techniques for optical and chemical characterization, including cutback measurements for attenuation, SEC for molecular weight determination, and DSC for thermal properties.
