Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 250:126076. [PMID: 37532195 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
The electrospun scaffolds could mimic the highly hierarchical structure of extracellular matrix (ECM). Modern tissue engineering focuses on the properties of these microstructures, influencing the biological responses. This research investigates the variation of morphology, crystallinity, bioactivity, mechanical properties, contact angle, mass loss rate, roughness, cell behavior, biomineralization, and the efficacy of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-based nanocomposite. Hence, 6 wt% lignin and 3 wt% cellulose nanofiber were added to the 9 wt% of PHB to prepare a novel electrospun nanocomposite structure (PLC). The outputs indicated more symmetrical circular fibers for PLC mat, higher surface roughness (326 to 389 nm), better hydrophilicity (120 to 60°), smaller crystal size (24 to 16 nm), and more reasonable biodegradability compared to PHB. These changes lead to the improvement of mechanical properties (toughness factor from 300 to 1100), cell behavior (viability from 60 to 100 %), bioactivity (from Ca/P ratio of 0.77 and 1.67), and higher level of alizarin red, and ALP enzyme secretion. Eventually, the osteopontin and alkaline phosphatase expression was also enhanced from ≃2.35 ± 0.15 and 2.1 ± 0.1 folds on the 1st day to ≃12.05 ± 0.35 and 7.95 ± 0.35 folds on 2nd week in PLCs. Accordingly, this newly developed structure could enhance biological responses and promote osteogenesis compared to PHB.

Abstract
Films of biodegradable blends of polycaprolactone (PCL) and Pluronics F68 and F127 were manufactured by an industrial thermo-mechanical process to be applied as potential delivery systems. The effects of Pluronics on the structure (mesophase organization), and thermal and mechanical properties of polycaprolactone were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and tensile mechanical tests. The addition of Pluronics affected the crystallization process by changing the relative amounts of crystalline, amorphous, and meso- (condis + plastic) phases. The melting transition and XRD profiles were deconvoluted to assess the individual contribution of the different crystal morphologies. Furthermore, it was found that the mechanical properties of the blends depended on the ratio and type of Pluronic. Thus, Pluronic F127 showed a larger mesophase content than its F68 counterpart with PCL and blends with enhanced ductility.

Optimization and characterization of polyhydroxybutyrate/lignin electro-spun scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 218:317-334.

Abstract
The tissue engineering scaffolds requires efficient combination of materials, appropriate method of preparation, and precise characterization of final product. In this study, the optimal electrospinning process conditions of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) were investigated by Taguchi design. Then, the initial PHB solution characteristics in the presence of lignin were optimized and then electro-spun. In this regard, the uniformity of electro-spun nanofibers, observed by SEM, confirmed that 9 w/v % is the optimum concentration of PHB in Trifluoro acetic acid. Addition of 6 wt% of lignin to PHB, could alleviate both the brittleness and hydrophobicity of PHB, as DSC, XRD, and WCA results indicated decrement in crystallinity (from 46 to 39 %), crystal size (from 21.8 to 15.2 nm), and WCA (from 118 to 73°). On the other hand, FESEM results represented diameter reduction from 1318 ± 202.07 to 442 ± 111.04 nm, and transformation of nanofiber physical structure from ribbon-like to cylindrical fiber by adding lignin. In addition, the mechanical properties of PHB including elongation at break, toughness, young modulus, and tensile strength were also improved (up to twice) by adding lignin. Ultimately, reviewing the outputs of degradation, bioactivity, MG63 cell viability, proliferation, mineralization, and antioxidant activity confirm that PHB/lignin electrospun scaffold has potential application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
As the core of polymer chemistry, manufacture of functional polymers is one of research hotspots over the past several decades. Various polymers are developed for diverse applications due to their tunable structures and unique properties. However, traditional step-by-step preparation strategies inevitably involve some problems, such as separation, purification, and time-consuming. The multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are emerging as environmentally benign synthetic strategies to construct multifunctional polymers or composites with pendant groups and designed structures because of their features, such as efficient, fast, green, and atom economy. This mini review summarizes the latest advances about fabrication of multifunctional fluorescent polymers or adsorptive polymeric composites through different MCRs, including Kabachnik-Fields reaction, Biginelli reaction, mercaptoacetic acid locking imine reaction, Debus-Radziszewski reaction, and Mannich reaction. The potential applications of these polymeric composites in biomedical and environmental remediation are also highlighted. It is expected that this mini-review will promote the development preparation and applications of functional polymers through MCRs.

Abstract
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural biodegradable polymer that is produced by many types of bacteria as an intracellular energy storage material. Due to its numerous advantages such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, availability and with physical properties comparable to petroleum-based thermoplastics, PHB is a potential substitute in biomedical and packaging fields. However, several physical drawbacks, such as high production cost, thermal instability, and poor mechanical properties, due to secondary crystallization and slow nucleation rate, limit its competition with traditional plastics in industrial and biomedical applications. Thereby, many attempts have been employed to improve the material performance of toughened PHB so as to achieve greater competitiveness and sustainability. In this review, the most recent developments of PHB-based toughening materials are discussed with respect to their approaches and strategies, which includes: drawing and thermal treatment, blending with materials from natural sources and synthetic polymers, as well as forming reinforced composites with natural fibers and inorganic fillers. The alternation of PHB chemical structure to form various types of functional copolymers with enhanced materials performance is also summarized. The expanded utilization of these newly developed sophisticated PHB materials as engineering materials and the biomedical significance in different domains are also addressed.
