Resumo
Filmes auto-sustentáveis de polifluoreto de vinilideno (PVDF) e de polifluoreto de vinilideno com trifluoretileno (P(VDF-TrFE)) contendo amido de milho e/ou látex da borracha natural foram produzidos visando à obtenção de blendas biocompátiveis. Estas blendas foram produzidas pela técnica de prensagem a quente a qual não necessita fazer uso de solventes orgânicos para dissolver os polímeros sintéticos (PVDF e P(TrFE)). Tal processamento, além de não utilizar solventes tóxicos, possibilita a fabricação de filmes auto-sustentáveis com propriedades físicas e químicas apropriadas para aplicações como um material biocompatível. Os filmes de PVDF ou P(VDF-TrFE) com os polímeros naturais (amido e/ou látex de borracha natural) foram caracterizados através das técnicas de espectroscopia vibracional (absorção no infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR) e espalhamento Raman), análise termogravimétrico (TG), calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC), análise dinâmico-mecânica (DMA), microscopia ótica (MO), microscopia ótica (MO), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), difração de raios-X, densidade, índice de fluidez (MFI), dureza e condutividade térmica. Os resultados que os polímeros naturais estão bem dispersos na matriz de PVDF ou P(VDF-TrFE) em nível micrométrico e não interagem quimicamente com os polímeros sintéticos. As blendas apresentaram elevada estabilidade térmica, cujo módulo de elasticidade está na mesma ordem de grandeza do osso humano. Entretanto, observou-se que a adesão dos polímeros naturais é melhor para as blendas com P(VDF-TrFe). Adicionalmente, as estruturas cristalinas do PVDF-α e do P(VDF-TrFE) ferroelétrico são mantidos em todas as blendas. A densidade, a dureza, o índice de fluidez e os valores de condutividade térmica das blendas seguiram o que deve se esperar de misturas físicas...
Films of poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF, and poly(vinylidene fluoride - trifluoroethylene), P(VDF-TrFE), containing corn starch and latex of natural rubber were produced visioning to obtain biocompatible blends. These blends were produced by compressing/annealing, which discards the necessity of using organic solvents to dissolve the synthetic polymers (PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE)). This process, besides discarding the use of toxic solvents, allows obtaining self-standing films with suitable physical and chemical properties considering their application as biocompatible materials. The PVDF or P(VDF-TrFe) films with different percentage of the natural polymers (starch and/or latex of natural rubber) were characterized using thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamicalmechanical analysis (DMA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman scattering, optic microscopy, scanning electric microscopy, scanning electric microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, density, melt flow index, hardness, and thermal conductivity. The results showed that the natural polymers are well dispersed within the matrix of PVDF or P(VDF-TrFE) at micrometer level and do not interact chemically with the synthetic polymers. The blends present high thermal stability with elasticity modulus at the same order of magnitude of the bone. However, it was observed that the adhesion of the natural polymers is better for the blends of P(VDF-TrFE). Besides, the crystalline structures of the α-PVDF and ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE) are kept in the blends. The density, hardness, melt flow index and thermal conductivity values of the blends followed what shoud be expected from physical mixtures. The tests of biocompatibility for these materials were carried out implanting the films at the subcutaneous region of rats the results showed histological characteristics favorable to the compatibility in vivo...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)
