Abstract

AbstractA novel polyurethane material containing zwitterionic sulfobetaine groups has been synthesized using the copper‐catalyzed 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition (azide‐alkyne click chemistry). A standard two‐step polyaddition method was used to produce the well‐defined polyurethane based on polycarbonatediol (PCDL) with alkyne groups. These polyurethanes containing alkyne units were then efficiently clicked using 3‐((2‐azidoethyl)dimethylammonio)propane‐1‐sulfonate (DMPS‐N3). The novel PU material was characterized by 1H NMR, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). This facile “click” reaction provides a useful tool for the development of novel functional polyurethanes for biomedical applications. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011
