What is Preparation of γ-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane Cross-linked Poly(aspartic Acid) Superabsorbent Hydrogels Without Organic Solvent about?

Poly(aspartic acid) (PASP) hydrogel is a type of biodegradable and biocompatible polymer with high water absorbing ability. Traditionally, the production of PASP hydrogel is expensive, complex, environmentally unfriendly, and consumes large amount of organic solvents, e.g., dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). This study introduces a one-step synthesis of PASP resin, in which the organic phase was replaced by distilled water and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (ATS) was used as the crosslinker. Absorbent ability and characteristics were determined by swelling ratio, FTIR, 13 C SSNMR, and SEM. In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation and animal skin irritation tests showed the hydrogel has body-friendly properties. Preparing PASP hydrogel in aqueous solution is promising and finds its use in many applications.
