Natural compounds have been used as wound-healing promoters and are also present in today’s clinical proceedings. In this research, different natural active components such as propolis, Manuka honey, insulin, L-arginine, and Calendula officinalis infusion were included into hyaluronic acid/poly(ethylene)oxide-based electrospun nanofiber membranes to design innovative wound-dressing biomaterials. Morphology and average fiber diameter were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Chemical composition was proved by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which indicated successful incorporation of the active components. The nanofiber membranes with propolis and Calendula officinalis showed best antioxidant activity, cytocompatibility, and antimicrobial properties against pathogen strains Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and had an average diameter of 217 ± 19 nm with smooth surface aspect. Water vapor transmission rate was in agreement with the range suitable for preventing infections or wound dehydration (~5000 g/m2 24 h). Therefore, the developed hyaluronic acid/poly(ethylene)oxide nanofibers with additional natural components showed favorable features for clinical use as wound dressings.

Characterization of an hyaluronic acid (HA)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) hydrogel was performed by changing the number of side arms in a PEO molecule. Verification of grafting chemistry and mechanical strength, as well as swelling behaviors and surface morphologies of the HA-PEO hydrogels were analyzed by employing different x-linking molecular weights (MW) of PEO ranging from 1.7 to 5.0 kDa at a fixed low MW HA in the hydrogel network. Methacrylation to the HA successfully obtained via Michael type reaction between the methacrylate arm groups in HA and the thiol end groups in PEO was observed by XPS. Hydrogel formation was markedly dependent upon the numbers of thiol groups in the PEO molecule. Furthermore the lower MW PEO-based HA hydrogel demonstrated stronger mechanical properties but lower water absorption and the smaller pore sizes on its surface and cross section.

A simple and cost-effective strategy to create a strong interfacial interaction of coordination bonds in graphene oxide/poly(ethylene oxide) (GO/PEO) nanocomposites by divalent metal ions are demonstrated in this study. The strong interfacial interaction realizes efficient load transfer during the tensile process to significantly improve the mechanical properties of PEO. In addition, the dynamic interfacial interaction of coordination bonds minimizes the elongation loss. This strategy is applicable to a variety of polymer matrices containing coordination atoms, thus opens up a new opportunity for high-performance GO/polymer nanocomposites with significantly improved mechanical properties.

Nanocomposite polymer membrane comprising poly(ethylene oxide), barium titanate-grafted-graphene oxide and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide) as an electrolyte for all-solid lithium batteries were prepared by a simple hot-press technique.
