Description

Artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of artificial muscle fibers, and relates to an artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Artificial muscle refers to a class of materials that have the actions of stretching, contracting, rotating, etc. in response to external environmental stimuli (light, electricity, magnetism, heat, pH, etc.). The artificial muscle material is in important attention internationally in recent years, and the report of the national academy of sciences and sciences of China's academy of sciences and the literature and information center of China' 2020 research front indicates that the bionic muscle hydrogel in the field of chemistry and materials science is located at the ninth place of the hot spot of materials science, so that the bionic muscle material has important scientific and development significance for the research and the invention of bionic artificial muscles.
Skeletal muscle contraction is the basic process of life exercise and is mainly divided into three processes of myofilament excitation contraction, myofilament sliding and muscle relaxation. In these three processes, calcium ions play a critical regulatory role. The quantity, concentration, etc. of calcium ions directly affect the speed and strength of skeletal muscle contraction, and also have significant effects on body shaping, living standard, etc. The muscle cells in skeletal muscle are fibrous, are not branched, have obvious transverse lines and have a lot of nuclei and are all positioned below cell membranes. There are a number of filamentary myofibrils in the muscle cell that are aligned in parallel along the long axis of the cell. The muscle cells consist of thick and thin muscle filaments. The thick myofilaments mainly consist of myosin, which are arranged in parallel and staggered to form the trunk of the thick myofilaments. The thin filaments consist of actin, tropomyosin and troponin. Among them, troponin has three subunits Tn-C, tn-T and Tn-1. The major calcium ions in human muscle cells are stored in mitochondria and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. When life activities are stimulated, calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to be immersed in cytoplasm, the concentration of calcium ions in cytoplasm is increased, the calcium ions are combined with Tn-C, the conformation of Tn-C is changed, and myosin is combined with actin to induce muscle contraction. When excitation is terminated, calcium ions are absorbed again by the sarcoplasmic reticulum through active transport under the energy provided by ATP hydrolysis, the concentration of calcium ions in the plasma cells decreases, and the muscles relax.
The most conventional power systems are internal combustion engines, steam engines, and now electric motors, etc. However, there are many limitations to these systems in order to simulate and achieve movement of biological tissue. Most artificial muscle materials are polymer materials at present, and the reasonable construction of the polymer materials enables the materials to have various stimulus response behaviors. When the material is affected by acousto-optic, photo-thermal and magnetic factors, microscopic structural changes of the material can cause macroscopic dimensional changes. Because of these characteristics, researchers have developed many thermally, optically, magnetically, and pH responsive artificial muscles to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy, simulating the stretching motion of the muscles. However, artificial muscle materials with calcium ion response have been rarely reported.
Chitosan, sodium alginate and carboxymethyl cellulose are common polymers for constructing biological materials, and have the characteristics of no toxicity, environment friendliness, reproducibility and the like. The chitosan is polycation electrolyte, the sodium alginate and the carboxymethyl cellulose are polyanion electrolyte, and polyelectrolyte complexes can be formed between the polyelectrolytes with opposite charges. Because of the unique molecular structure of sodium alginate and carboxymethyl cellulose, and the strong coordination ability of calcium ions. However, reversibly stabilized elongation shrinkage cannot be achieved without covalently crosslinked polyelectrolyte complexes.
Therefore, the invention provides an artificial muscle fiber which has calcium ion response and can achieve reversible and stable extension and contraction and a preparation method thereof, and has very important significance in solving the problems existing in the prior art.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems in the prior art and provide an artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response and a preparation method thereof. The invention provides a polydopamine crosslinked polyelectrolyte composite fiber which has the functions of stabilizing the structure and enhancing the mechanical strength. When the fiber absorbs calcium ions, the calcium ions form coordination bonds with sodium alginate or carboxymethyl cellulose, the molecular chains are compact, the size shrinkage is caused, and the mechanical strength is enhanced; when the fiber releases calcium ions, the coordination structure is dissociated, molecular chains are dispersed, the size is relaxed, and the mechanical strength is reduced.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
an artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response has a skin-core structure, and comprises an inner layer, an intermediate layer and an outer layer from inside to outside in sequence;
the inner layer is combined with the middle layer through electrostatic force, and the middle layer is combined with the outer layer through adhesion force;
The inner layer and the middle layer are both polyelectrolytes, and when the inner layer is a polycation electrolyte A, the middle layer is a polyanion electrolyte B; when the inner layer is the polyanion electrolyte B, the middle layer is the polycation electrolyte A;
the outer layer is a polydopamine layer, and polydopamine is dispersed in the inner layer and the middle layer;
the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response can simulate the processes of 'calcium absorption' and 'calcium losing' of human muscle fiber to carry out reversible extension and contraction, the fiber with certain relaxation state can 'absorb calcium ions' to shrink in a solution containing calcium ions, and can 'lose calcium ions' to elongate in a solution with the capability of chelating calcium ions, can recover to the original relaxation state, and can repeatedly carry out 'calcium absorption' and 'calcium losing' circulation along with the change of the mechanical properties of the fiber in the processes of 'calcium absorption' and 'calcium losing'.
As a preferable technical scheme:
the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response has the advantages that the polycation electrolyte A is chitosan, and the polyanion electrolyte B is more than one of sodium alginate and carboxymethyl cellulose; the polycation electrolyte and the polyanion electrolyte are polysaccharide biomacromolecules; the polyanion electrolyte has a large number of carboxylate groups, so that the polyanion electrolyte can not only form a polyelectrolyte complex with the polycation electrolyte due to electrostatic interaction, but also absorb calcium ions to form a coordination crosslinking structure, thereby causing mechanical strength change and dimensional shrinkage.
An artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response as described above, wherein the mass ratio of all polydopamine, polyelectrolyte of the middle layer and polyelectrolyte of the inner layer is 1-2:1-2:8-9, the inner layer polyelectrolyte is formed by spinning solution and is the main body of the whole fiber, and the amount of polyelectrolyte of the middle layer is much less than that of polyelectrolyte of the inner layer due to diffusion complexation in the spinning process.
The artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response has the diameter of 80-100 microns and the water content of 60-80 wt%.
As the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response, the solution containing calcium ion is CaCl with the concentration of 1-10 mg/mL 2 Solutions or CaSO 4 The solution with the capability of chelating calcium ions is phosphate buffer salt solution (PBS buffer solution), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid solution (EDTA solution) or citric acid solution with the concentration of 0.01-0.2M.
As the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response has the shrinkage rate of 30-40% after the balance of the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response 'absorbs calcium ion' (the shrinkage rate test standard refers to national standard GB/T6505-2017), and the shrinkage of the muscle after troponin absorption in human muscle tissue is 20-40%;
The artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response has a tensile strength of 10-20 MPa when not absorbing calcium ions and a tensile strength of 100-120 MPa after absorbing calcium ions. If the polydopamine is not crosslinked, the mechanical strength before absorbing calcium ions is 10-100 kPa, and the mechanical strength after absorbing calcium ions is 20-30 MPa. Fibers that have not been cross-linked with polydopamine cannot maintain dimensional stability and calcium cycling stability for long periods of time.
In the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response, the tensile strength of the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response is changed between 10-20 MPa and 100-120 MPa and the shrinkage rate is stabilized between 30-40% in the cycle process of absorbing calcium ions and losing calcium ions for 20 times.
The invention also provides a method for preparing the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response, which comprises the steps of sequentially immersing polyelectrolyte composite fiber into dopamine solution and deionized water to prepare the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response;
the polyelectrolyte composite fiber is immersed into the dopamine solution for swelling, and then sodium periodate is added into the dopamine solution; the biological polysaccharide macromolecules are high polymers with a multi-element sugar ring structure, are suitable for constructing rigid polymer materials due to the rigidity of the structures of the biological polysaccharide macromolecules, and are environment-friendly. Dopamine is the most abundant catecholamine neurotransmitter in the brain, and can be polymerized into polydopamine under the oxidation condition, and has good stability and viscosity;
The polyelectrolyte composite fiber is soaked in deionized water until saturated water absorption, and meanwhile, superfluous inorganic salts and the like on the surface can be removed;
the preparation method of the polyelectrolyte composite fiber comprises the following steps: taking polyelectrolyte solution X as spinning solution (the spinning solution is subjected to centrifugal defoaming before spinning), and simultaneously taking polyelectrolyte solution Y as coagulating bath for wet spinning, and compounding by the coagulating bath to obtain polyelectrolyte composite fibers;
the solute of the polyelectrolyte solution X is the polycation electrolyte A, and the solute of the polyelectrolyte solution Y is the polyanion electrolyte; alternatively, the solute of polyelectrolyte solution X is the polyanion electrolyte B and the solute of polyelectrolyte solution Y is the polycation electrolyte A.
As a preferable technical scheme:
the method has the advantages that the concentration of the dopamine solution is 1-2 mg/mL, and the temperature is 20-25 ℃;
the mass volume ratio of the polyelectrolyte composite fiber to the dopamine solution is 1-2 g:1-2L, the polyelectrolyte composite fiber is immersed in the dopamine solution for 15-20 min, then sodium periodate is added into the dopamine solution, the immersion is continued for 1-6 h, and the concentration of the sodium periodate in the dopamine solution after the sodium periodate is added is 0.1-0.5 mg/mL; when the polyelectrolyte composite fiber is soaked in a dopamine solution or a strong oxidant sodium periodate is added into the dopamine solution, hydrochloric acid is needed to adjust the pH value of the solution to pH=4, so that the high pH value and the low pH value are prevented from damaging electrostatic composite; during impregnation, dopamine fully diffuses into a fiber internal network, after a strong oxidant is added, crosslinking is carried out, fibers with different covalent crosslinking degrees can be obtained in different crosslinking times, the fiber after crosslinking treatment has a covalent crosslinking structure, and meanwhile, the fiber has a polydopamine layer on the outer surface, and the fiber has a crosslinking structure, so that the stability of the fiber structure is improved.
The method as described above, the mass fraction of polyelectrolyte in polyelectrolyte solution X or polyelectrolyte solution Y is 0.5-1.5 wt.%; the concentration of the spinning solution is in the range, so that the problems that the spinning solution is too high in concentration and too high in viscosity and is not suitable for extrusion can be avoided, and the problems that the concentration is too low and the fluid is unstable during extrusion can be avoided; the concentration of the coagulating bath is in the range, so that the problem that the spinning solution cannot flow stably in the coagulating bath when the concentration of the coagulating bath is too high can be avoided, and the problems that the concentration is too low and the compounding process is slow can be avoided;
the polyelectrolyte solution X and the polyelectrolyte solution Y are prepared by dissolving polyelectrolyte in water with a certain pH value, and the polyelectrolyte is in a completely dissolved state, wherein the acid for regulating the pH value is hydrochloric acid and/or acetic acid, and the alkali is sodium hydroxide; the pH of the polyelectrolyte solution X is 3.5-4, and the pH of the polyelectrolyte solution Y is 6.0-7.0;
the residence time of the spinning solution in the coagulating bath after extrusion is 15 min-24 h, the residence time is too low, the fiber compounding process is incomplete, the fiber performance is poor, the compounding process is basically completed after the residence time reaches 24h, and no more benefits are generated after the residence time is prolonged; in addition, the spinning solution extrusion speed needs to be set according to the type of the spinning hole, for example, the type of the spinning hole is: the length is 20mm, the outer diameter is 0.31mm, the inner diameter is 0.13mm, the extrusion speed of the spinning solution is 0.8mL/min, the extrusion speed is too slow, one-dimensional jet flow cannot be stabilized, the extrusion speed is too fast, and the solidification process cannot occur.
In the method, the polyelectrolyte complex fiber is dried to the water content of <5wt.% before being immersed in the dopamine solution, so as to avoid the difficulty of immersing the dopamine into the polyelectrolyte complex fiber caused by the excessive water content in the polyelectrolyte complex fiber.
The temperature of the drying treatment is 40-60 ℃ and the time is 12-24 h.
The principle of the invention is as follows:
the concentrations of the polycation electrolyte a (hereinafter abbreviated as a) and the polyanion electrolyte B (hereinafter abbreviated as B) of the present invention are 0.5 to 1.5wt.%, and a and B can form a polyelectrolyte complex in an aqueous solution by electrostatic interaction. The invention utilizes a wet spinning method to process the composite formed by the A and the B into fibers. Finally, a polydopamine cross-linked network is introduced, wherein the polydopamine network has two layers of functions, firstly, a covalent cross-linked network is formed in the fiber, and an energy dissipation mechanism is formed due to the existence of the covalent network, so that the mechanical property of the fiber is improved; secondly, a thin nano-garment is formed outside the fiber, and the structure can enable the fiber to maintain certain dimensional stability.
In the artificial muscle fiber of the present invention, a large amount of moisture exists. When water molecules enter the fiber, the movement space of the molecular chain is increased due to the lubrication effect, the whole chain moves more freely, and the macroscopic appearance of the material becomes softer. After absorbing calcium ions, because a large number of carboxylic acid groups exist in the sodium alginate, a coordination cross-linking structure can be formed with the calcium ions, and the inside of the fiber forms the coordination cross-linking structure, so that molecular chains of the sodium alginate are tightly connected together, the mechanical strength of the fiber is improved, and the macroscopic appearance of the material is material shrinkage. When calcium ions are lost, the coordination crosslinking structure is dissociated, a loose molecular chain structure is formed in the fiber again, the mechanical strength of the fiber is reduced, and the macroscopic material is elongated. The polyelectrolyte compound fiber which is not crosslinked by dopamine can be completely dissolved in water environment after losing calcium ions, the repeated calcium absorption and calcium loss processes can not be achieved, and the tensile strength is very weak. After dopamine is crosslinked, the stability of the polyelectrolyte compound fiber can be maintained, and the tensile strength can be improved.
The existing chitosan sodium alginate crosslinking technology mainly has three crosslinking modes, wherein the first mode is direct crosslinking at high temperature, the amino groups and the carboxyl groups of polyelectrolyte react to form amide bonds, but most of the amino groups and the carboxyl groups are ionization groups, electrostatic acting force is generated, few groups capable of generating amide reaction are generated, the crosslinking degree is low, and poor stability can be caused when the chitosan sodium alginate crosslinking technology is applied to the invention; the second is to add glutaraldehyde, glutaraldehyde and chitosan to react, and crosslink the chitosan, because the chitosan and sodium alginate fibers have core-shell structures, the fibers cannot be stabilized; the third is that ethylenediamine and 1- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) -3-ethylcarbodiimide are added to react with sodium alginate to crosslink sodium alginate, and the defects are similar to the second. In addition, the above reactions involve high temperatures and use of biotoxic reagents, which are cumbersome to operate, and the high temperatures destroy the biomacromolecule structure and undergo dehydration condensation, which is not suitable for constructing the artificial muscle fiber of the present invention. The coordination crosslinking structure formed by the second and third crosslinking modes is formed by crosslinking one of chitosan or sodium alginate with small molecules, and the prepared chitosan/sodium alginate fiber has a skin-core structure, so that the method does not have a molecular chain interlocking structure in a molecular network structure. The cross-linking network structure is inserted into the whole fiber network by utilizing the polydopamine for cross-linking, polydopamine cross-linking nano particles are arranged at the outermost layer and the inside of the fiber, and the interlocking structure of polydopamine, chitosan and sodium alginate is arranged in the molecular network structure, so that the fiber size can be well stabilized, and the mechanical property is enhanced.
The beneficial effects are that:
(1) According to the preparation method of the artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response, the artificial muscle fiber with excellent performance is constructed in a green simple mode, the contraction rate after absorbing calcium ions is 30-40% (the contraction rate of muscle after absorbing calcium ions by troponin in human muscle tissue is 20-40%), and the fiber can recover the original relaxation state after losing calcium ions.
(2) The artificial muscle fiber with calcium ion response can effectively control the relaxation and contraction behaviors by controlling the concentration of calcium ions in an environment solution, can simulate various movements, the relaxation and contraction movements of muscles, and the driver actively lifts the heavy objects to bloom flowers.
