AbstractIn this work, salidroside, a functional food agent, was incorporated into novel interpenetrating polymer network microspheres (IPN-Ms) prepared by chitosan (CS) and methylcellulose (MC) for controlled release and stabilization. IPN-Ms were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The result indicated that salidroside-loaded IPN-Ms (S-IPN-Ms) are hollow and highly spherical, with a coarse pleated surface and a particle size ranging from 5 to 30 µm. Schiff base formation and the hemiacetal reaction are the primary mechanisms underlying the interpenetrating network cross-linking of IPN-Ms. In S-IPN-Ms, the CS and MC were homogeneously blended, and the salidroside was molecularly and amorphously dispersed. The encapsulation efficiency of the salidroside within the S-IPN-Ms was up to 75.64 %. In the S-IPN-M complex, the release of salidroside by S-IPN-Ms was governed by burst and sustained release, and Fickian diffusion was the primary release mechanism for the entire release process. Thus, controlled release and stabilization of salidroside were achieved through incorporation of salidroside into IPN-Ms prepared by chitosan (CS) and methylcellulose.

The interpenetrating polymer network of fast temperature-responsive hydrogels based on soy protein and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) were successfully prepared using the sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solutions as the reaction medium. The structure and properties of the hydrogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis. The swelling and deswelling kinetics were also investigated in detail. The results have shown that the proposed hydrogels had high porous structure, good miscibility and thermal stability, and fast temperature responsivity. The presence of NaHCO3 had little effect on the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) of the hydrogels, and the VPTTs were at about 32?C. Compared with the traditional hydrogels, the proposed hydrogels had much faster swelling and deswelling rate. The swelling mechanism of the hydrogels was the non-Fickian diffusion. This fast temperature-responsive hydrogels may have potential applications in the field of biomedical materials.

Abstract Designing of nanoparticle drug delivery systems and improving the efficacy of anticancer drugs are a great deal of effort in the recent years. In this study, a novel biocompatible nanocarrier based on bacterial cellulose (BC) in presence of exosome (Exo) was prepared to controlled release of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), (5-FU.Exo@BC). The physicochemical properties of 5-FU.Exo@BC was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques that confirmed the successful preparation of 5-FU.Exo@BC. The release behavior of 5-FU.Exo@BC compared to 5-FU and 5-FU@BC demonstrated a significant sustained release during 162 h. The release mechanism of the above three systems followed Korsmeyer-peppas with non-Fickian diffusion for 5-FU@BC and 5-FU.Exo@BC. In addition, the viability of HT-29 cells (human colon cancer cell line), towards BC, 5-FU@BC and 5-FU.Exo@BC indicated the promising efficacy of 5-FU into 5-FU.Exo@BC. Subsequently, the prepared bio-nanocomposite could be proposed as a potential drug delivery system with effective controlled-release function.

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), sericin (SS), and silver nitrate were combined to prepare an interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel having dual functions of temperature sensitivity and antibacterial properties. The structure and size of AgNPs in such an IPN hydrogel were characterized by the Fourier Transform Infrared spectrum (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and the thermal properties of the IPN hydrogel were characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Based on XRD patterns, Ag+ was successfully reduced to Ag0 by SS. It was observed by TEM that the particle size of silver particles was lower than 100 nm. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of IPN hydrogel was better than that of the PNIPAAm/AgNPs hydrogels, and lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values of the IPN hydrogel were obtained by DSC i.e. 31 °C. The thermal stability of the IPN hydrogel was successfully determined by the TGA. This IPN hydrogel was then used to modify the cotton fabrics by the “impregnation” method using glutaraldehyde (GA) as the cross-linking agent. The structures and properties of IPN hydrogel modified cotton fabric were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FT-IR, and the thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The results show that NIPAAm was successfully polymerized into PNIPAAm, and that there were neglected new groups in the hydrogel IPN. The IPN hydrogel was then successfully grafted onto cotton fabrics. SEM observations showed that the IPN hydrogel formed a membrane structure between the fibers, and improved the compactness of the fibers. At the temperature close to LCST (≈31 °C), the entire system was easily able to absorb water molecules. However, the hydrophilicity tended to decrease when the temperature was higher or lower than the LCST. The antibacterial rates of the modified cotton fabric against S. aureus and E. coli were as high as 99%.

Aim: The intention of this investigation was to develop Pemetrexed Diacid (PTX)-loaded gelatine-cloisite 30B (MMT) nanocomposite for the potential oral delivery of PTX and the in vitro, and ex vivo assessment. Background: Gelatin/Cloisite 30 B (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by blending gelatin with MMT in aqueous solution. Methods: PTX was incorporated into the nanocomposite preparation. The nanocomposites were investigated by Fourier Transmission Infra Red Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Confocal Laser Microscopy (CLSM). FT-IR of nanocomposite showed the disappearance of all major peaks which corroborated the formation of nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were found to have a particle size of 121.9 ± 1.85 nm and zeta potential -12.1 ± 0.63 mV. DSC thermogram of drug loaded nanocomposites indicated peak at 117.165 oC and 205.816 oC, which clearly revealed that the drug has been incorporated into the nanocomposite because of cross-linking of cloisite 30 B and gelatin in the presence of glutaraldehyde. Results: SEM images of gelatin show a network like structure which disappears in the nanocomposite. The kinetics of the drug release was studied in order to ascertain the type of release mechanism. The drug release from nanocomposites was in a controlled manner, followed by first-order kinetics and the drug release mechanism was found to be of Fickian type. Conclusion: Ex vivo gut permeation studies revealed 4 times enhancement in the permeation of drug present in the nanocomposite as compared to plain drug solution and were further affirmed by CLSM. Thus, gelatin/(MMT) nanocomposite could be promising for the oral delivery of PTX in cancer therapy and future prospects for the industrial pharmacy.

AbstractA diamine monomer containing ester, amide and ether functional groups was prepared and its polymerization reaction with different diisocyanates to give main chain poly(ester amide ether urea)s was investigated. The monomer was synthesized via reaction of terephthaloyl chloride with 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and subsequent reaction of the resulted diacid with 1,8-diamino-3,6-dioxaoctane. The polymers were characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopic method and elemental analysis. The resulting polymers exhibited excellent solubility in polar solvents. Crystallinity of the resulted polymers was evaluated by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) method, and they exhibited semi-crystalline patterns. The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the polymers determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) were in the range of 88-112 °C. The temperatures for 10% weight loss (T10) from their thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves were found to be in the range of 297-312 °C in air. Also the prepared polyureas showed liquid crystalline character.

Fast temperature-responsive interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels based on soy protein and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) were prepared using the sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solutions as the reaction medium. The structure and properties were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The bovine serum albumin (BSA) release behaviors and release mechanism were also investigated. The results show that the proposed hydrogels have high porous structures and have a fast release rate. The BSA release mechanism belongs to an anomalous transport and the Fickian contribution is dominant. The proposed hydrogels may have the potential applications in the field of biomedical materials such as in the controlled release of drugs.

Polymethylene bis(p-hydroxybenzoates) were prepared from methyl p-hydroxybenzoate and different diols by melted transesterification reaction. Three liquid crystalline polyesters were synthesized from terephthaloyl dichloride and polymethylene bis(p-hydroxybenzoates). Its structure, morphology and properties were characterized by Ubbelohde viscometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM) with a hot stage, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). Results indicated that the intrinsic viscosities were between 0.088 and 0.210 dL/g. Optical microscopy showed that the TLCP has a highly threaded liquid crystalline texture and a high birefringent schlieren texture character of nematic phase and has wider mesophase temperature ranges for all polyesters. DSC analysis were found that the melting point (Tm), isotropic temperature (Ti) of TLCPs decreased and the temperature range of the liquid crystalline phase became wider with increased number of methylene spacers in the polyester. The WAXD results showed that TLCPs owned two strong diffraction peaks at 2θ near 19° and 23°.

A controlled release composite has been prepared by intercalation of sodium paeonolsilate (PAS) into Mg/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) with the molar ratio (M2+/M3+) of 2:1. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirm the intercalation of PAS into the galleries of LDH. The chemical composites of PAS-LDH were revealed by elemental analysis. Release tests of the PAS-LDH composite showed that no burst release phenomenon occurred at the beginning stage and a high release ratio of PAS (89.8%) was obtained, exhibiting controlled release behavior. Furthermore, the parabolic diffusion model was used to simulate the release kinetics of PAS from the LDH carrier, indicating that the intraparticle diffusion via ion-exchange is the rate-determining step in the release process. It is significance in this work for introducing the PAS-LDH composite to develop antifouling materials with long-term activity.

Compatibility investigation was performed between magnesium stearate and acidic drug compounds (ibuprofen, indomethacin and valproic acid) and acidic pharmaceutical excipients (lactic acid and citric acid) using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC study indicated the possible incompatibility for the mixture between magnesium stearate and any compounds. Alteration in DSC thermogram was found in all mixtures. The eutectic phenomenon was found in the powder mixture of magnesium stearate and ibuprofen. In addition, the presence of melting endothermic peak of stearic acid in other powder mixtures except the mixture of magnesium stearate and indomethacin indicating breakage of salt form of magnesium stearate. This alteration could relate to the influence on physicochemical properties of drug compounds and pharmaceutical excipients which powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) should be further analyzed to confirm the interactions between compounds.

In this paper, a series of semi-interpenetrating polymer network materials based on poly ((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)/poly (N, N-diethylacrylamide) (PDMAEMA/PDEA) were synthesized at room temperature. The influence of this additive on the property of resulting PDEA materials was investigated and characterized. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the semi-IPN materials was observed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Compared to PDEA, the semi-IPN materials exhibited excellent mutative values in response to an alternation of the temperature, and showed fast swelling and deswelling rates in response to temperature change, which suggests that these materials have potential application as thermal infrared camouflage materials.
