Abstract:

As the outermost organ of human body, skin is easily injured. Therefore, it is more important to construct protected barrier material for skin. Herein, based on the performance requirement of skin barrier material, we construct a multifunctional skin barrier material PSI-PVA by combining hydrophilically modified polysiloxane (PSI) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) through ionic crosslinking. The test results indicate that PSI-PVA exhibits good stretchability in dry and wet and has compatible mechanical properties like skin. PSI-PVA is hydrophilic and the swelling ratio is up to 149% with the PVA content of 20%, and water can volatilize rapidly at room temperature, which makes PSI-PVA good breathability. PSI-PVA has good cleaning performance and can be easily cleaned from skin with water. In addition, PSI-PVA covalently linked with UV-absorbing group of hydroxybenzophenone can effectively decrease UV transmittance. The in vitro experiment indicates that NIH 3T3 cells have high survival rate (71%) irradiated by UVB (311 nm) with the protection of the PSI-PVA film. Furthermore, PSI-PVA also exhibits good biocompatibility through cell viability assay. The skin barrier material PSI-PVA constructed with composite of polysiloxane and polyvinyl alcohol can meet properties requirements and has good application prospects in fields of skin protection and injury repair.
