Degradable biporous polymeric networks based on 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane: Towards hierarchically structured materials meant for biomedical applications

Résumé

For the first time, the preparation of doubly porous “poly(ε-caprolactone)-like” networks through free-radical ring-opening copolymerization of 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane with divinyl adipate was achieved via a double porogen templating approach. This versatile strategy allowed for the formation of macropores of around 150 μm generated by removal of sieved and sintered NaCl particles in water, while smaller pores in the 1–10 μm range were created by phase separation during the copolymerization process through a syneresis mechanism in the presence of a porogenic solvent. The chemical nature of the as-obtained scaffolds was evidenced by Raman spectroscopy. The two distinct porosity levels could be examined by scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry. The nature of the porogenic solvent as well as its volume proportion and the amount of crosslinking agent in the polymerization feed allowed for finely tuning the porous features of the micropores. The crucial role of the double porosity of such biporous scaffolds on their water uptake and mechanical properties under compression was assessed by comparing them with their onoporous analogues, while their degradability was investigated in different alkaline aqueous media. The double porosity enabled a synergistic effect regarding the water uptake of the resulting scaffolds when compared to their monoporous counterparts. Doubly porous polymeric materials with appropriate mechanical properties were obtained, possessing high compressibility and shape memory behavior upon consecutive compression cycles. Finally, these materials display degradation rates that could be controlled depending on medium pH.
