摘要

Abstract

Thermo-responsive pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) offer significant potential for advanced wound care but face challenges in achieving simultaneously robust physiological adhesion and controllable

atraumatic removal. This study introduces silicone-contained pressure-sensitive adhesive (SiPSA)

the adhesive platform synthesized by crosslinking thermo-responsive poly(ethylene glycol-

-siloxane) (PEG-Si) with trimethylol-propane triacrylate and chitosan tackifier. SiPSA exhibits dual-temperature-triggered debonding

delivering exceptional adhesion on skin at 37 °C (180° peel strength=211 N/m)

while enabling rapid

on-demand detachment

via

either heating to 60 °C (72.7% adhesion reduction) or cooling to 0 °C (82.5% adhesion reduction). Critically

SiPSA maintain

s robust interfacial bonding under high-humidity conditions

adhering effectively to moist skin and bleeding wounds

and retaining significant peel strength even after absorbing 20 vol% water

a key advantage for exudative wound management and aqueous environments. Comprehensive biocompatibility tests confirmed its non-irritating and clinically safe profile. Compared to conventional dressings

SiPSA uniquely integrates high-strength physiological adhesion with programmable

painless removal through distinct thermal stimuli

significantly enhancing patient comfort and clinical utility. These results highlight SiPSA as an advanced material for medical care

providing reliable adhesion modulation

excellent performance in wet settings

and favorable patient compliance.
