Nitric oxide-releasing silica nanoparticle-doped polyurethane electrospun fibers.


ABSTRACT: Electrospun polyurethane fibers doped with nitric oxide (NO)-releasing silica particles are presented as novel macromolecular scaffolds with prolonged NO-release and high porosity. Fiber diameter (119-614 nm) and mechanical strength (1.7-34.5 MPa of modulus) were varied by altering polyurethane type and concentration, as well as the NO-releasing particle composition, size, and concentration. The resulting NO-releasing electrospun nanofibers exhibited ~83% porosity with flexible plastic or elastomeric behavior. The use of N-diazeniumdiolate- or S-nitrosothiol-modified particles yielded scaffolds exhibiting a wide range of NO release totals and durations (7.5 nmol mg(-1)-0.12 ?mol mg(-1) and 7 h to 2 weeks, respectively). The application of NO-releasing porous materials as coatings for subcutaneous implants may improve tissue biocompatibility by mitigating the foreign body response and promoting cell integration.
