Abstract Functionalized metal oxide nanoparticles cross-linked collagen scaffolds are widely used in skin regenerative applications because of their enhanced physico-chemical and biocompatibility properties. From the safety clinical trials point of view, there are no reports that have compared the effects of functionalized metal oxide nanoparticles mediated collagen scaffolds for in-vivo skin regenerative applications. In this work, Triethoxysilane - Poly (amido amine) dendrimer generation 3 (TES-PAMAM -G3 or G3) functionalized spherical shape metal oxide nanoparticles (MO NPs: ZnO, TiO2, Fe3O4, CeO2, and SiO2, Size: 12 -25 nm) cross-linked collagen scaffolds were prepared by using a self-assembly method. Triple helical conformation, pore size, mechanical strength and in-vitro cell viability of MO-TES-PAMAM-G3- collagen scaffolds were studied through different methods. The in-vivo skin regenerative proficiency of MO-TES-PAMAM-G3- collagen scaffolds were analysed by implanting the scaffold on wounds in Wistar Albino rats. The results demonstrated that MO-TES-PAMAM-G3- collagen scaffold showed superior skin regeneration properties than other scaffolds. The skin regenerative efficiency of MO NPs followed order: ZnO> TiO2> CeO2> SiO2> Fe3O4 NPs. This result can be attributed to higher mechanical strength, cell –viability and better antibacterial activity of ZnO-TES-PAMAM-G3-collagen scaffold lead to accelerate the skin regenerative properties in comparison to other metal oxide based collagen scaffolds.

AbstractA bulk scale process is implemented for the production of nanostructured film composites comprising unary or multi-component metal oxide nanoparticles dispersed in a suitable polymer matrix. The as-received nanoparticles, namely Al$$_2$$ 2 O$$_3$$ 3 , SiO$$_2$$ 2 and TiO$$_2$$ 2 and binary combinations, are treated following specific chemical and mechanical processes in order to be suspended at the optimal size and composition. Subsequently, a polymer extrusion technique is employed for the fabrication of each film, while the molten polymer is mixed with the treated metal oxide nanoparticles. Transmission and reflection measurements are performed in order to map the optical properties of the fabricated, nanostructured films in the UV, VIS and IR. The results substantiate the capability of the overall methodology to regulate the optical properties of the films depending on the type of nanoparticle formation which can be adjusted both in size and composition.

AbstractThe current understanding of osteoarthritis is developing from a mechanical disease caused by cartilage wear to a complex biological response involving inflammation, oxidative stress and other aspects. Nanoparticles are widely used in drug delivery due to its good stability in vivo and cell uptake efficiency. In addition to the above advantages, metal/metal oxide NPs, such as cerium oxide and manganese dioxide, can also simulate the activity of antioxidant enzymes and catalyze the degradation of superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide. Degrading of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles releases metal ions, which may slow down the progression of osteoarthritis by inhibiting inflammation, promoting cartilage repair and inhibiting cartilage ossification. In present review, we focused on recent research works concerning osteoarthritis treating with metal/metal oxide nanoparticles, and introduced some potential nanoparticles that may have therapeutic effects.
