Abstract:

A rapid fabrication method for high-strength silk fibroin hydrogel using blue light photocrosslinking was developed. To achieve this, different photoinitiators (camphorquinone, riboflavin sodium phosphate, curcumin and Eosin Y) together with diphenyl iodonium hexafluorophosphate (DPI) were composed to five efficient blue light photoinitiation systems for the photo-crosslinking of silk fibroin. The spectral absorption characteristics and the photopolymerization efficiency of five photoinitiators were investigated by UV-vis spectrophotometer and photo-DSC. The crosslinking performance of silk fibroin hydrogel was investigated by photo-rheology. The UV-vis spectrum indicates five photoinitiators can be served as blue light photoinitiators and photocrosslinking of silk fibroin can be attributed to the dityrosine by coupling of tyrosine residues. Camphorquinone and Eosin Y show a higher photopolymerization efficiency than other photoinitiators. With such photoinitiation systems, silk fibroin hydrogel is prepared within 10 min in this research.

Key words: silk fibroin hydrogel, photocrosslinking mechanism, photoinitiator, photosensitive synergist, dityrosine
