Introduction

水凝胶是一种网络结构体系，具有多孔性和水合结构的特点，在材料科学和生物医学工程领域具有广泛的应用前景。如细胞载体、药物控释、组织工程等方面均有着重要的应用。然而，现有的水凝胶制备方法，多数需要外加交联剂或紫外线辐照，这些方法存在交联剂残留、辐照对生物体的潜在危害等问题。基于此，构建一种新型的生物相容性较强的水凝胶制备方法，成为了当前研究的热点之一。

Methodology

本文提出了一种X射线介导的构建体内原位光交联水凝胶诱发体系，该体系基于发射X射线激活的离子对离子液体中等离子体产生交联。具体来讲，该体系由三部分组成：离子对离子液体溶剂体系、交联预体系和X射线辐照装置。在交联过程中，通过调节离子对离子液体的种类、浓度等参数，实现不同形态的水凝胶的构建。并通过对所得凝胶的理化表征，评估凝胶的力学性能和生物相容性。

ResultandDiscussion

实验结果表明，调节离子对离子液体溶剂体系中的阳离子种类、阴离子种类、浓度等参数，可制备不同形态的水凝胶；实验所得水凝胶的交联密度随着辐射剂量的增加而增大，凝胶的力学强度和生物相容性均满足研究要求。在手术操作中，将预处理好的水凝胶注入到实验动物体内，利用X射线进行体内原位光交联，实验结果表明本方法可在体内可靠地构建出水凝胶，且能够为不同类型的动物提供不同种类、形态的凝胶。

Conclusion

本文提出了一种X射线介导的构建体内原位光交联水凝胶诱发体系，该体系基于发射X射线激活的离子对离子液体中等离子体产生交联。该体系制备出的水凝胶具有较高的机械强度和生物相容性，并能够实现在动物体内原位光交联。本研究为水凝胶的高效制备提供了一种绿色、安全的新途径，并为其在组织工程、药物控释和生物传感等领域的应用提供了新的思路。FutureapplicationsofthisX-raymediatedinsituphotopolymerizationhydrogelsystemincludetissueengineering,drugdelivery,andbiosensing.Theversatilityofthesystemincreatingdifferentformsandtypesofhydrogelsopensupnewpossibilitiesforthesefields.Intissueengineering,hydrogelscanbeusedasscaffoldsforcellgrowthanddifferentiation.Themechanicalstrengthandbiocompatibilityofthehydrogelsproducedinthisstudymakethemsuitableforuseinvivo.Indrugdelivery,hydrogelscanbeusedtodeliverdrugslocallytoacertainarea,reducingthesystemicsideeffectsofmedication.Biosensingapplicationsincludetheuseofhydrogelsasbiosensorsforthedetectionofbiomolecules,suchasglucoseandproteins.
