The aim of this research is to expand the application range of biomaterials in the medical field by improving the antibacterial and biocompatible properties of thermoplastic polyurethanes. Blends of thermoplastic polyurethanes with chitosan and starch were prepared and their thermal and morphological aspects were investigated. The results showed that the thermoplastic polyurethanes blended with chitosan and starch possessed antibacterial and hemolytic potential.
The basic aim of the research work is to expand the application range of biomaterials in the field of medical by increasing antibacterial and biocompatible behavior of thermoplastic polyurethanes. Blends of thermoplastic polyurethanes with chitosan and starch were prepared through extrusion process. The effect of polysaccharides (corn starch and chitosan) incorporation in thermoplastic polyurethane matrix and polymers interaction on thermal and morphological aspects was investigated. Possible interaction among chitosan and starch within TPU matrix individually and together in a blend were assessed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Diffractometer (XRD). The results indicated that thermoplastic polyurethanes were semi crystalline in nature whereas hydrophilicity of prepared thermoplastic polyurethanes was determined by contact angle. Biological properties endowed that TPU blended with chitosan and starch possessed antibacterial and hemolytic potential. Hence, it can be a suitable candidate for biomedical applications.
