Abstract
The clinical application of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is limited by its short half-life, subeffective concentration in the targeted area and severe systemic toxicity. In this study, the recombinant polypeptide S4-TNF-α was constructed and coupled with chitosan-modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (S4-TNF-α-SPIONs) to achieve pH-sensitive controlled release and active tumor targeting activity. The isoelectric point (pI) of S4-TNF-α was reconstructed to approach the pH of the tumor microenvironment. The negative-charge S4-TNF-α was adsorbed to chitosan-modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (CS-SPIONs) with a positive charge through electrostatic adsorption at physiological pH. The acidic tumor microenvironment endowed S4-TNF-α with a zero charge, which accelerated S4-TNF-α release from CS-SPIONs. Our studies showed that S4-TNF-α-SPIONs displayed an ideal pH-sensitive controlled release capacity and improved antitumor effects. Our study presents a novel approach to enhance the pH-sensitive controlled-release of genetically engineered drugs by adjusting their pI to match the pH of the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Bacterial invasion hinders the healing process of wound, leading to the formation of chronic infected wound; meanwhile, the misuse of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence of numerous drug-resistant bacteria. The application of conventional antimicrobial methods and wound treatment techniques is not appropriate for wound dressings. In this paper, quaternized poly(vinyl alcohol) (QPVA) and pomegranate-like copper uniformly doped polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@Cu) were introduced into a gelatin-oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose system to form a multicomponent synergistic antibacterial hydrogel (GOQ3P3). Polydopamine improves the biocompatibility and prevents the detachment of Cu nanoparticles. It can achieve synergistic antibacterial effects through quaternary ammonium salt-inorganic nanoparticle photothermal treatment under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. It exhibits highly efficient and rapid bactericidal properties against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) with an antibacterial rate close to 100%. The gel scaffold composed of macromolecules gives the hydrogel excellent mechanical properties, adhesive capabilities, self-healing characteristics, biocompatibility, and pH degradation and promotes cell adhesion and migration. In a full-thickness wound healing model infected with MRSA, GOQ3P3 controls inflammatory responses, accelerates collagen deposition, promotes angiogenesis, and enhances wound closure in the wound healing cascade reaction. This study provides a feasible strategy for constructing dressings targeting chronic infection wounds caused by drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Bone regenerative scaffolds with a bionic natural bone hierarchical porous structure provide a suitable microenvironment for cell migration and proliferation. Here, a bionic scaffold (DP-PLGA/HAp) with directional microchannels is prepared by combining 3D printing and directional freezing technology. The 3D printed framework provides structural support for new bone tissue growth, while the directional pore embedded in the scaffolds provides an express lane for cell migration and nutrition transport, facilitating cell growth and differentiation. The hierarchical porous scaffolds achieve rapid infiltration and adhesion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and improve the expression of osteogenesis-related genes. The rabbit cranial defect experiment presents significant new bone formation, demonstrating that DP-PLGA/HAp offers an effective means to guide cranial bone regeneration. The combination of 3D printing and directional freezing technology might be a promising strategy for developing bone regenerative biomaterials.

Abstract
This study involves the development of a new nanocomposite material for use in biological applications. The nanocomposite was based on tragacanth hydrogel (TG), which was formed through cross-linking of Ca2+ ions with TG polymer chains. The utilization of TG hydrogel and silk fibroin as natural compounds has enhanced the biocompatibility, biodegradability, adhesion, and cell growth properties of the nanobiocomposite. This advancement makes the nanobiocomposite suitable for various biological applications, including drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue engineering. Additionally, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized in situ within the nanocomposite to enhance its hyperthermia efficiency. The presence of hydrophilic groups in all components of the nanobiocomposite allowed for good dispersion in water, which is an important factor in increasing the effectiveness of hyperthermia cancer therapy. Hemolysis and 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assays were conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the nanobiocomposite for in-vivo applications. Results showed that even at high concentrations, the nanobiocomposite had minimal hemolytic effects. Finally, the hyperthermia application of the hybrid scaffold was evaluated, with a maximum SAR value of 41.2 W/g measured in the first interval.

Abstract
Magnesium and its alloys are considered excellent materials for biodegradable implants because of their good biocompatibility and biodegradability as well as their mechanical properties. However, the rapid degradation rate severely limits their clinical applications. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), also known as micro-arc oxidation (MAO), is an effective surface modification technique. However, there are many pores and cracks on the coating surface under conventional PEO process. The corrosive products tend to penetrate deeply into the substrate, reducing its corrosion resistance and the biocompatibility, which makes PEO-coated Mg difficult to meet the long-term needs of in vivo implants. Hence, it is necessary to modify the PEO coating. This review discusses the formation mechanism and the influential parameters of PEO coatings on Mg. This is followed by a review of the latest research of the pretreatment and typical amelioration of PEO coating on biodegradable Mg alloys in the past 5 years, including calcium phosphate (Ca-P) coating, layered double hydroxide (LDH)-PEO coating, ZrO2 incorporated-PEO coating, antibacterial ingredients-PEO coating, drug-PEO coating, polymer-PEO composite coating, Plasma electrolytic fluorination (PEF) coating and self-healing coating. Meanwhile, the improvements of morphology, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, biocompatibility, antibacterial abilities, and drug loading abilities and the preparation methods of the modified PEO coatings are deeply discussed as well. Finally, the challenges and prospects of PEO coatings are discussed in detail for the purpose of promoting the clinical application of biodegradable Mg alloys.

Abstract
Silks fibroin can be chemically modified through amino acid side chains to obtain methacrylated silk (Sil-MA). Sil-MA could be processed into a variety of scaffold forms and combine synergistically with other biomaterials to form composites vehicle. The advent of Sil-MA material has enabled impressive progress in the development of various scaffolds based on Sil-MA type to imitate the structural and functional characteristics of natural tissues. This review highlights the reasonable design and bio-fabrication strategies of diverse Sil-MA-based tissue constructs for regenerative medicine. First, we elucidate modification methodology and characteristics of Sil-MA. Next, we describe characteristics of Sil-MA hydrogels, and focus on the design approaches and formation of different types of Sil-MA-based hydrogels. Thereafter, we present an overview of the recent advances in the application of Sil-MA based scaffolds for regenerative medicine, including detailed strategies for the engineering methods and materials used. Finally, we summarize the current research progress and future directions of Sil-MA in regenerative medicine. This review not only delineates the representative design strategies and their application in regenerative medicine, but also provides new direction in the fabrication of biomaterial constructs for the clinical translation in order to stimulate the future development of implants.

Abstract
The development of a wound dressing with both antibacterial and healing-guiding functions is a major concern in the treatment of open and infected wounds. In this study, poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) was loaded into a 3D silk fibroin (SF) scaffold based on electrostatic interactions between PHMB and SF, and PHMB/SF hybrid scaffolds were prepared via freeze-drying. The effects of the PHMB/SF ratio on the antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility of the hybrid scaffold were investigated. The results of an agar disc diffusion test and a bacteriostasis rate examination showed that when the mass ratio of PHMB/SF was greater than 1/100, the scaffold exhibited obvious antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. L-929 cells were encapsulated in the PHMB/SF scaffolds and cultured in vitro. SEM, laser scanning confocal microscopy, and CCK-8 assay results demonstrated that hybrid scaffolds with a PHMB/SF ratio of less than 2/100 significantly promoted cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation. In conclusion, a hybrid scaffold with a PHMB/SF ratio of approximately 2/100 not only effectively inhibited bacterial reproduction but also showed good cytocompatibility and is expected to be usable as a functional antibacterial dressing for wound repair.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process with four main phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Current treatments such as cotton and gauze may delay the wound healing process which gives a demand for more innovative treatments. Nanofibers are nanoparticles that resemble the extracellular matrix of the skin and have a large specific surface area, high porosity, good mechanical properties, controllable morphology, and size. Nanofibers are generated by electrospinning method that utilizes high electric force. Electrospinning device composed of high voltage power source, syringe that contains polymer solution, needle, and collector to collect nanofibers. Many polymers can be used in nanofiber that can be from natural or from synthetic origin. As such, electrospun nanofibers are potential scaffolds for wound healing applications. This review discusses the advanced electrospun nanofiber morphologies used in wound healing that is prepared by modified electrospinning techniques.

Abstract
Wound healing is a systematic and complex process that involves various intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting different stages of wound repair. Therefore, multifunctional wound dressings that can modulate these factors to promote wound healing are in high demand. In this work, a multifunctional Janus electrospinning nanofiber dressing with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, controlled release of drugs, and unidirectional water transport was prepared by depositing coaxial nanofibers on a hydrophilic poly(ε-caprolactone)@polydopamine-ε-polyl-lysine (PCL@PDA-ε-PL) nanofiber membrane. The coaxial nanofiber was loaded with the phase change material lauric acid (LA) in the shell layer and anti-inflammatory ibuprofen (IBU) in the core layer. Among them, LA with a melting point of 43 °C served as a phase change material to control the release of IBU. The phase transition of LA was induced by near-infrared (NIR) irradiation that triggered the photothermal properties of PDA. Moreover, the Janus nanofiber dressing exhibited synergistic antimicrobial properties for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus due to the photothermal properties of PDA and antibacterial ε-PL. The prepared Janus nanofiber dressing also exhibited anti-inflammatory activity and biocompatibility. In addition, the Janus nanofiber dressing had asymmetric wettability that enabled directional water transport, thereby draining excessive wound exudate. The water vapor transmission test indicated that the Janus nanofiber dressing had good air permeability. Finally, skin wound healing evaluation in rats confirmed its efficacy in promoting wound healing. Therefore, this strategy of designing and manufacturing a multifunctional Janus nanofiber dressing had great potential in wound healing applications.

Abstract
New sustainable materials produced by green processing routes are required in order to meet the concepts of circular economy. The replacement of insulating materials comprising flammable synthetic polymers by bio-based materials represents a potential opportunity to achieve this task. In this paper, low-density and flame-retardant (FR) porous fiber networks are prepared by assembling Layer-by-Layer (LbL)-functionalized cellulose fibers by means of freeze-drying. The LbL coating, encompassing chitosan and sodium hexametaphosphate, enables the formation of a self-sustained porous structure by enhancing fiber-fiber interactions during the freeze-drying process. Fiber networks prepared from 3 Bi-Layer (BL)-coated fibers contain 80% wt of cellulose and can easily self-extinguish the flame during flammability tests in vertical configuration while displaying extremely low combustion rates in forced combustion tests. Smoke release is 1 order of magnitude lower than that of commercially available polyurethane foams. Such high FR efficiency is ascribed to the homogeneity of the deposited assembly, which produces a protective exoskeleton at the air/cellulose interface. The results reported in this paper represent an excellent opportunity for the development of fire-safe materials, encompassing natural components where sustainability and performance are maximized.

[PMID: 37233398 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14050288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Treatment of large segmental bone loss caused by fractures, osteomyelitis, and non-union results in expenses of around USD 300,000 per case. Moreover, the worst-case scenario results in amputation in 10% to 14.5% of cases. Biomaterials, cells, and regulatory elements are employed in bone tissue engineering (BTE) to create biosynthetic bone grafts with effective functionalization that can aid in the restoration of such fractured bones, preventing amputation and alleviating expenses. Chitin (CT) and chitosan (CS) are two of the most prevalent natural biopolymers utilized in the fields of biomaterials and BTE. To offer the structural and biochemical cues for augmenting bone formation, CT and CS can be employed alone or in combination with other biomaterials in the form of nanofibers (NFs). When compared with several fabrication methods available to produce scaffolds, electrospinning is regarded as superior since it enables the development of nanostructured scaffolds utilizing biopolymers. Electrospun nanofibers (ENFs) offer unique characteristics, including morphological resemblance to the extracellular matrix, high surface-area-to-volume ratio, permeability, porosity, and stability. This review elaborates on the recent strategies employed utilizing CT and CS ENFs and their biocomposites in BTE. We also summarize their implementation in supporting and delivering an osteogenic response to treat critical bone defects and their perspectives on rejuvenation. The CT- and CS-based ENF composite biomaterials show promise as potential constructions for bone tissue creation.

Research on essential performance of oxidized chitosan-crosslinked acellular porcine aorta modified with bioactive SCPP/DOPA for esophageal scaffold with enhanced mechanical strength, biocompatibility and anti-inflammatory. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 241:124522. [PMID: 37100332 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
Acellular porcine aorta (APA) is an excellent candidate for an implanted scaffold but needs to be modified with appropriate cross-linking agent to increase its mechanical property and storage time in vitro as well as to give itself some bioactivities and eliminate its antigenicity for acting as a novel esophageal prosthesis. In this paper, a polysaccharide crosslinker (oxidized chitosan, OCS) was prepared by oxidizing chitosan using NaIO4 and further used to fix APA to prepare a novel esophageal prosthesis (scaffold). And then the surface modification with dopamine (DOPA) and strontium-doped calcium polyphosphate (SCPP) were performed one after another to prepare DOPA/OCS-APA and SCPP-DOPA/OCS-APA to improve the biocompatibility and inhibit inflammation of the scaffolds. The results showed that the OCS with a feeding ratio of 1.5:1.0 and a reaction time of 24 h had a suitable molecular weight and oxidation degree, almost no cytotoxicity and good cross-linking effect. Compared with glutaraldehyde (GA) and genipin (GP), OCS-fixed APA could provide a more suitable microenvironment for cell proliferation. The vital cross-linking characteristics and cytocompatibility of SCPP-DOPA/OCS-APA were evaluated. Results suggested that SCPP-DOPA/OCS-APA exhibited suitable mechanical properties, excellent resistance to enzymatic degradation/acid degradation, suitable hydrophilicity, and the ability to promote the proliferation of Human normal esophageal epithelial cells (HEECs) and inhibit inflammation in vitro. In vivo tests also confirmed that SCPP-DOPA/OCS-APA could diminish the immunological response to samples and had a positive impact on bioactivity and anti-inflammatory. In conclusion, SCPP-DOPA/OCS-APA could act as an effective, bioactive artificial esophageal scaffold and be expected to be used for clinical in the future.

Abstract
A transition from a linear to a circular economy is the only alternative to reduce current pressures in natural resources. Our society must redefine our material sources, rethink our supply chains, improve our waste management, and redesign materials and products. Valorizing extensively available biomass wastes, as new carbon mines, and developing biobased materials that mimic nature's efficiency and wasteless procedures are the most promising avenues to achieve technical solutions for the global challenges ahead. Advances in materials processing, and characterization, as well as the rise of artificial intelligence, and machine learning, are supporting this transition to a new materials' mining. Location, cultural, and social aspects are also factors to consider. This perspective discusses new alternatives for carbon mining in biomass wastes, the valorization of biomass using available processing techniques, and the implementation of computational modeling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to accelerate material's development and process engineering.

Abstract
Biosafe antibacterial agents are urgently demanded in treating infection especially chronic infection. However, efficient and controlled release of those agents remains great challenging. Two nature-derived agents, lysozyme (LY) and chitosan (CS), are selected to establish a facile method for long-term bacterial inhibition. We incorporated LY into the nanofibrous mats, then deposited CS and polydopamine (PDA) on the surface by layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly. In this vein, LY is gradually released with the degradation of nanofibers, and CS is rapidly disassociated from the nanofibrous mats to synergistically result in a potent inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) over a period of 14 days. Besides long-term antibacterial capacity, LBL-structured mats could readily achieve a strong tensile stress of 6.7 MPa with an increase percentage of up to 103%. The enhanced proliferation of L929 cells arrives at 94% with help of CS and PDA on the surface of nanofibers. In this vein, our nanofiber has a variety of advantages including biocompatibility, strong long-term antibacterial effect, and skin adaptability, revealing the significant potential to be used as highly safe biomaterial for wound dressings.

Chitosan/silk fibroin composite bilayer PCL nanofibrous mats for bone regeneration with enhanced antibacterial properties and improved osteogenic potential. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 230:123265.

Abstract
In regenerative medicine and bone tissue engineering, various composite materials are enormously popular, but the final tissue restoration outcome is not always satisfactory. In this study, bilayer-deposited multifunctional nanofiber mats were successfully fabricated with an osteogenic side of silk fibroin/poly (ε-caprolactone) (referred to as SF/PCL) and an antibacterial side of poly (ε-caprolactone)/chitosan (referred to as PCL/CS). The PCL/CS-SF/PCL (referred to as PCSP) mats exhibited biocompatible properties, sufficient hydrophilicity and mechanical properties, as well as a higher breaking strength (3.6 MPa) than the monolayer of SF/PCL mats (1.5 MPa). The antibacterial side of PCSP mats (A-layer) demonstrated ideal antibacterial potency because the survival rate of Escherichia coli (E. coli) (approximately 25 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (approximately 15 %) were both significantly lower. Subsequently, the plasmid encoding runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) was complexed with the osteogenic side of PCSP mats (O-layer) through polyethyleneimine (PEI), thereby enhancing both osteogenesis-related gene expression and the formation of mineralized nodules. Similarly, the implantation of PCSP+Runx2 mats effectively promoted bone tissue generation in vivo. These results indicated the excellent prospects of applying PCSP mats to bone regeneration with gene delivery.

Abstract
In this study, to improve the soil amendment performance of film materials, composite films with the adjustable number of layers and controlled slow-release time were prepared using sodium alginate (SA), chitosan (CS) and activated charcoal (AC) as raw materials. The prepared multilayer films exhibited a wide pH response range and excellent slow-release time. The cumulative release of humic acid (HA) increased from 19.87 ± 0.98% to 66.72 ± 1.06% with increasing the pH from 4.0 to 10.0 after 700 h of slow-release. In addition, after 50 d of remediation in red soil, plantation soil, and saline soil, the NH4+-N, Olsen-P, Olsen-K, and organic matter contents in the three soils were increased by 2.91-28.62 mg/kg, 46.97-70.43 mg/kg, 55.89-77.01 mg/kg, and 12.47-22.52 g/kg, respectively, and were able to provide sustained crop growth promotion effect. This study demonstrates the promising application of multilayer film in soil remediation and agricultural production.

Abstract
The development of tissue engineering scaffolds is of great significance for the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues and organs. Silk fibroin (SF) is a natural protein polymer with good biocompatibility, biodegradability, excellent physical and mechanical properties and processability, making it an ideal universal tissue engineering scaffold material. Nanofibers prepared by electrospinning have attracted extensive attention in the field of tissue engineering due to their excellent mechanical properties, high specific surface area, and similar morphology as to extracellular matrix (ECM). The combination of silk fibroin and electrospinning is a promising strategy for the preparation of tissue engineering scaffolds. In this review, the research progress of electrospun silk fibroin nanofibers in the regeneration of skin, vascular, bone, neural, tendons, cardiac, periodontal, ocular and other tissues is discussed in detail.

Unveiling the Assembly of Neutral Marine Polysaccharides into Electrostatic-Driven Layer-by-Layer Bioassemblies by Chemical Functionalization. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:md21020092.

Abstract
Marine-origin polysaccharides, in particular cationic and anionic ones, have been widely explored as building blocks in fully natural or hybrid electrostatic-driven Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assemblies for bioapplications. However, the low chemical versatility imparted by neutral polysaccharides has been limiting their assembly into LbL biodevices, despite their wide availability in sources such as the marine environment, easy functionality, and very appealing features for addressing multiple biomedical and biotechnological applications. In this work, we report the chemical functionalization of laminarin (LAM) and pullulan (PUL) marine polysaccharides with peptides bearing either six lysine (K6) or aspartic acid (D6) amino acids via Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition to synthesize positively and negatively charged polysaccharide-peptide conjugates. The successful conjugation of the peptides into the polysaccharide's backbone was confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and the positive and negative charges of the LAM-K6/PUL-K6 and LAM-D6/PUL-D6 conjugates, respectively, were assessed by zeta-potential measurements. The electrostatic-driven LbL build-up of either the LAM-D6/LAM-K6 or PUL-D6/PUL-K6 multilayered thin film was monitored in situ by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, revealing the successful multilayered film growth and the enhanced stability of the PUL-based film. The construction of the PUL-peptide multilayered thin film was also assessed by scanning electron microscopy and its biocompatibility was demonstrated in vitro towards L929 mouse fibroblasts. The herein proposed approach could enable the inclusion of virtually any kind of small molecules in the multilayered assemblies, including bioactive moieties, and be translated into more convoluted structures of any size and geometry, thus extending the usefulness of neutral polysaccharides and opening new avenues in the biomedical field, including in controlled drug/therapeutics delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine strategies.

Abstract
In this study, dopamine-assisted deposition combined with layer-by-layer assembly was investigated as an efficient method for preparing coatings with tunable thickness, roughness, and functional properties. By this method, one can first benefit from the versatile chemistry of dopamine allowing the co-deposition of various functional materials, for example, polymers, ions, and nanoparticles, within the coating. Moreover, the layer-by-layer approach allows tuning the coating thickness and surface roughness, as well as varying the chemical composition of the coating in the vertical direction. Herein, we demonstrated the benefits of using this method in fabricating both single- and multi-component coatings.

Abstract
Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide with the advantageous qualities of biocompatibility and biodegradability, and it has recently been spotlighted as a soft material for a sustainable society. Advantages such as these are in demand for application in various biomaterials. Although extensive studies have been conducted on the preparation of chitosan films, overcoming the problems of weak mechanical properties remains a significant barrier. In the present study, we developed stretchable doxorubicin-loaded biocompatible chitosan films by adding acetic acid in controlled concentrations. The stretchable properties of doxorubicin-loaded chitosan film at various concentrations of acetic acid were measured. Elongation to the point of breakage reached 27% with a high concentration of acetic acid, which could be described as high stretchability. The release ratio of doxorubicin from chitosan film reached 70% with a high acetic acid concentration. The cytotoxicity of doxorubicin-loaded chitosan films was measured, and cancer spheroids had completely collapsed after 7 days. According to the results of skin permeability testing, use of the doxorubicin-loaded chitosan film is a plausible choice for a drug sealant.

Johari N, Khodaei A, Samadikuchaksaraei A, Reis RL, Kundu SC, Moroni L. Ancient fibrous biomaterials from silkworm protein fibroin and spider silk blends: Biomechanical patterns. Acta Biomater 2022; 153:38-67. [PMID: 36126911 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.09.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Silkworm silk protein fibroin and spider silk spidroin are known biocompatible and natural biodegradable polymers in biomedical applications. The presence of β-sheets in silk fibroin and spider spidroin conformation improves their mechanical properties. The strength and toughness of pure recombinant silkworm fibroin and spidroin are relatively low due to reduced molecular weight. Hence, blending is the foremost approach of recent studies to optimize silk fibroin and spidroin's mechanical properties. As summarised in the present review, numerous research investigations evaluate the blending of natural and synthetic polymers. The effects of blending silk fibroin and spidroin with natural and synthetic polymers on the mechanical properties are discussed in this review article. Indeed, combining natural and synthetic polymers with silk fibroin and spidroin changes their conformation and structure, fine-tuning the blends' mechanical properties. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Silkworm and spider silk proteins (silk fibroin and spidroin) are biocompatible and biodegradable natural polymers having different types of biomedical applications. Their mechanical and biological properties may be tuned through various strategies such as blending, conjugating and cross-linking. Blending is the most common method to modify fibroin and spidroin properties on demand, this review article aims to categorize and evaluate the effects of blending fibroin and spidroin with different natural and synthetic polymers. Increased polarity and hydrophilicity end to hydrogen bonding triggered conformational change in fibroin and spidroin blends. The effect of polarity and hydrophilicity of the blending compound is discussed and categorized to a combinatorial, synergistic and indirect impacts. This outlook guides us to choose the blending compounds mindfully as this mixing affects the biochemical and biophysical characteristics of the biomaterials.

Abstract
The cartilage repair and regeneration show inadequate self-healing capability and have some complications, which are inordinate challenges in clinical therapy. Biopolymeric injectable hydrogels, a prominent type of cell-carrier as well tissue engineering scaffolding materials, establish promising therapeutic potential of stem cell-based cartilage-regeneration treatment. In addition, injectable scaffolding biomaterial should have rapid gelation properties with adequate rheological and mechanical properties. In the present investigation, we developed and fabricated the macromolecular silk fibroin blended with polylysine modified chitosan polymer (SF/PCS) using thermal-sensitive glycerophosphate (GP), which contains effective gelation ability, morphology, porosity and also has enhanced mechanical properties to induce physical applicability, cell proliferation and nutrient exchange in the cell-based treatment. The developed and optimised injectable hydrogel group has good biocompatibility with human fibroblast (L929) cells and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Additionally, it was found that SF/PCS hydrogel group could sustainably release TGF-β1 and efficiently regulate cartilage-specific and inflammatory-related gene expressions. Finally, the cartilage-regeneration potential of the hydrogel groups embedded with and without BMSCs were evaluated in SD rat models under histopathological analysis, which showed promising cartilage repair. Overall, we conclude that the TGF-β1-SF/PCS injectable hydrogel demonstrates enhanced in vitro and in vivo tissue regeneration properties, which lead to efficacious therapeutic potential in cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Bone healing is a complex process that requires the participation of cells and bioactive factors. Stromal derived factor-1 α (SDF-1α) and magnesium ions (Mg2+) both are significant bioactive factors for cell recruitment and osteogenesis during bone regeneration. Thus, a bifunctional hydrogel containing a sequential delivery system is fabricated to improve osteogenesis. During sequential delivery of the hydrogel, SDF-1α is predominantly released at the early stage of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) recruitment, while Mg2+ are constantly delivered at a later stage to improve osteogenic differentiation of recruited cells. In addition, due to the early release of SDF-1α, the hydrogel showed strong BMSCs recruitment and proliferation activity. Mg2+ can not only induce up-regulation of osteogenic gene expression in vitro, but also promote bone tissue and angiogenesis in vivo. Taken together, the injection of xanthan gum-polydopamine crosslinked hydrogel co-loading SDF-1α and Mg2+ (XPMS hydrogel) provides a novel strategy to repair bone defects.

Abstract
The Achilles tendon (AT) is responsible for running, jumping, and standing. The AT injuries are very common in the population. In the adult population (21–60 years), the incidence of AT injuries is approximately 2.35 per 1,000 people. It negatively impacts people’s quality of life and increases the medical burden. Due to its low cellularity and vascular deficiency, AT has a poor healing ability. Therefore, AT injury healing has attracted a lot of attention from researchers. Current AT injury treatment options cannot effectively restore the mechanical structure and function of AT, which promotes the development of AT regenerative tissue engineering. Various nanofiber-based scaffolds are currently being explored due to their structural similarity to natural tendon and their ability to promote tissue regeneration. This review discusses current methods of AT regeneration, recent advances in the fabrication and enhancement of nanofiber-based scaffolds, and the development and use of multiscale nanofiber-based scaffolds for AT regeneration.

Abstract
Patients with acute and chronic wounds have been increasing around the world, and the demand for wound treatment and care is also increasing. Therefore, a new nanofiber wound dressing should be prepared to promote the wound healing process. In this study, we report the design and preparation of a hierarchical structural film wound dressing. The top layer is composed of profoundly hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL), which is used to resist the adhesion of external microorganisms. The bottom layer is made of hydrophilic gelatin, which provides a moist healing environment for the wound. The middle layer is composed of hydrophilic Janus nanofibers prepared with the latest side-by-side electrospinning technique. Gelatin and PCL are used as polymer matrices loaded with the ciprofloxacin (CIP) drug and zinc oxide nanoparticles (n-ZnO), respectively. Test results show that the dressing has outstanding surface wettability, excellent mechanical properties, and rapid drug release. The presence of biologically active ingredients provides antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Finally, the results of wound healing in mice show accelerated collagen deposition, promotion of angiogenesis, and complete wound healing within 14 days. Overall, this hierarchical structural dressing has a strong potential for accelerating wound healing.

Abstract
Diseases related to the lungs are among the most prevalent medical problems threatening human life. The treatment options and therapeutics available for these diseases are hindered by inadequate drug concentrations at pathological sites, a dearth of cell-specific targeting and different biological barriers in the alveoli or conducting airways. Nanostructured delivery systems for lung drug delivery have been significant in addressing these issues. The strategies used include surface engineering by altering the material structure or incorporation of specific ligands to reach prespecified targets. The unique characteristics of nanoparticles, such as controlled size and distribution, surface functional groups and therapeutic release triggering capabilities, are tailored to specific requirements to overcome the major therapeutic barriers in pulmonary diseases. In the present review, the authors intend to deliver significant up-to-date research in nanostructured therapies in inflammatory lung diseases with an emphasis on biocomposite-based nanoparticles.

Abstract
The layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique has shown excellent potential in tissue engineering applications. The technique is mainly based on electrostatic attraction and involves the sequential adsorption of oppositely charged electrolyte complexes onto a substrate, resulting in uniform single layers that can be rapidly deposited to form nanolayer films. LbL has attracted significant attention as a coating technique due to it being a convenient and affordable fabrication method capable of achieving a wide range of biomaterial coatings while keeping the main biofunctionality of the substrate materials. One promising application is the use of nanolayer films fabricated by LbL assembly in the development of 3-dimensional (3D) bone scaffolds for bone repair and regeneration. Due to their versatility, nanoscale films offer an exciting opportunity for tailoring surface and bulk property modification of implants for osseous defect therapies. This review article discusses the state of the art of the LbL assembly technique, and the properties and functions of LbL-assembled films for engineered bone scaffold application, combination of multilayers for multifunctional coatings and recent advancements in the application of LbL assembly in bone tissue engineering. The recent decade has seen tremendous advances in the promising developments of LbL film systems and their impact on cell interaction and tissue repair. A deep understanding of the cell behaviour and biomaterial interaction for the further development of new generations of LbL films for tissue engineering are the most important targets for biomaterial research in the field. While there is still much to learn about the biological and physicochemical interactions at the interface of nano-surface coated scaffolds and biological systems, we provide a conceptual review to further progress in the LbL approach to 3D bone scaffold materials and inform the future of LbL development in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination of biomaterials is a common problem and a serious threat to human health worldwide. Therefore, the development of multifunctional biomaterials that possess antibacterial properties and can resist infection is a continual goal for biomedical applications. Silk fibroin (SF), approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a biomaterial, is one of the most widely studied natural polymers for biomedical applications due to its unique mechanical properties, biocompatibility, tunable biodegradation, and versatile material formats. In the last decade, many methods have been employed for the development of antibacterial SF-based biomaterials (SFBs) such as physical loading or chemical functionalization of SFBs with different antibacterial agents and bio-inspired surface modifications. In this review, we first describe the current understanding of the composition and structure-properties relationship of SF as a leading-edge biomaterial. Then we demonstrate the different antibacterial agents and methods implemented for the development of bactericidal SFBs, their mechanisms of action, and different applications. We briefly address their fabrication methods, advantages, and limitations, and finally discuss the emerging technologies and future trends in this research area.

Abstract
We report the influence of treatment time of electrospun chitosan nanofibers (CHT NFs) in dopamine hydrochloride bath (2 mg.mL-1 in 10 mM Tris buffer, pH 8.5) on the extent of the polydopamine (pDA) coating on NFs surface. The reaction was characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis and the cytocompatibility of the scaffolds toward MT3C3-E1 cells was assessed. Biomimetic deposition of hydroxyapatite (HA) in 1.5xSBF batch was investigated by SEM-EDS and XRD. Samples treated in dopamine bath during 2 h promoted the structural stability of NFs in PBS, provided optimal cytocompatibility and induced the in vitro biomineralization from 6 days in 1.5xSBF. The XRD and SEM-EDS investigations confirmed formation of spherical-shaped particles composed of apatitic phase. Finally, this study shows that these NFs-pDA scaffolds prepared in the optimal experimental conditions defined here are promising candidates for application as osteoinductive scaffolds for bone regeneration applied to orthopedic and dental applications.

Electrophoretic fabrication of a robust chitosan/polyethylene glycol/polydopamine composite film for UV-shielding application. Carbohydr Polym 2021; 273:118560. [PMID: 34560971 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.118560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Revised: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
The film-forming process of chitosan composite films is an important issue because it affects their experimental design, chemicals used, and feasibility of large-scaled fabrication. In this work, electrophoresis is employed to produce chitosan composite films with significantly reduced processing time and environmentally friendly chemicals. With the addition of hydrogen peroxide and polyethylene glycol, the parasitic hydrogen bubble formation during the electrophoresis of chitosan and polydopamine is effectively inhibited that leads to the formation of a defectless chitosan/polyethylene glycol/polydopamine composite film which could be removed from the substrate readily. In addition, the chitosan/polyethylene glycol/polydopamine composite film reveals significantly improved tensile strength and a slower decomposition rate as compared to those of chitosan film and chitosan/polyethylene glycol composite film. This is attributed to the strong interaction between chitosan and polydopamine. Lastly, the chitosan/polyethylene glycol/polydopamine composite film exhibits excellent UV-shielding ability without compromising its visible transparency.

Abstract
The synergy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) can improve anticancer efficacy, while the limited diffusion distance and the short lifetime of •OH still greatly restrict the therapeutic efficacy of PTT-CDT. Herein, MoS2@PDA-Fe@PEG/TPP (MPFPT) nanosheets (NSs) with mitochondria-targeting ability were reported for enhanced PTT-CDT synergistic oncotherapy. MPFPT NSs were prepared by covalent modification of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and triphenylphosphonium (TPP) on polydopamine (PDA)-Fe3+coated MoS2 NSs. Co-localization experiments showed that MPFPT NSs can efficiently target mitochondria via the direction of TPP. Moreover, MPFPT NSs have good photothermal performance in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region and can greatly accelerate the Fenton reaction from H2O2 to generate more hydroxyl radicals (•OH). In vitro experimental results showed that MPFPT NSs have improved therapeutic efficacy to cancer cells than similar MoS2-based nanoagents without mitochondria-targeting units, which can be attributed to the short distance between mitochondria and MPFPT NSs and the efficient damage of mitochondria by in situ generated •OH. In the 4T1 tumor-bearing mice model, MPFPT NSs demonstrated significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy by PTT-CDT, suggesting the superiority of the mitochondria-targeting strategy. This study reveals that mitochondria-targeting MPFPT NSs are promising nanoagents for oncotherapy.

Abstract
Burns is a critical fatal event due to the risk of infection and complex inflammatory cascades. This study aimed to fabricate and characterize a new antibacterial and anti-inflammatory dressing for second-degree burns by the immobilization of bromelain and zinc oxide nanoparticles on silk fibroin nanofibers. Thus, electrospun silk nanofibers with an average fiber diameter of 345 nm were prepared and then grafted with acrylic acid after exposure to O2 plasma. Next, bromelain was immobilized on the modified SF nanofibers (SF-Br). Subsequently, different amounts of ZnO NPs coated with polydopamine were immobilized on the SF-Br nanofibers. The successful immobilization of bromelain and ZnO NPs on the SF nanofibers was proved by SEM, EDS, and FTIR analysis. The loading efficiency of bromelain was 85.63%, and activity ranged between 88% and 92%. The crystallinity of SF nanofibers decreased after the addition of bromelain and ZnO NPs, which increased the bromelain and zinc ions released from the dressing. Antibacterial activity has improved with the addition of ZnO NPs. The amounts of bromelain released from the dressings are not toxic to fibroblasts. Moreover, fibroblast attachment and proliferation enhanced at lower ZnO amounts, while there was an inverse trend at high doses of ZnO NPs. In vivo studies showed that treating the burn with silk fibroin-bromelain-ZnO NPs enhanced the healing process and considerably lowered the inflammatory response at the wound. Overall, the dressing presented here offers excellent potential for burn management.

Abstract
Since polymeric nanofibrous scaffolds have been widely used in tissue regeneration, the risk of bacterial infections should not be neglected. In the present work, poly-caprolactone-silk fibroin-soluble eggshell membrane-silver nanoparticles (PCL-SF-SESM-AgNPs) and caprolactone-silk fibroin-soluble eggshell membrane-chitosan (PCL-SF-SESM-CS) scaffolds were fabricated via the electrospinning method for cutaneous regeneration. The composition, morphology, hydrophilicity, and mechanical features of prepared scaffolds were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), tensile, and water contact angle tests. The existence of AgNPs in PCL/SF/SESM/AgNPs nanofibers was confirmed by UV-visible, Transmission electron microscopes (TEM), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns. Besides, cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation process of cutaneous progenitor cells, namely basal cell carcinoma (BCCs), toward keratinocyte-like cells were evaluated using MTT analysis, DAPI, Immunofluorescence imaging (IF), and Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (QRT-PCR) assay. The results indicated that prepared nanofibrous mats are appropriate candidates for cutaneous regeneration and in advanced in vivo applications could be used. Lastly, the antimicrobial potential of prepared nanofibers against microorganisms such as E. coli, S. aureus, and C. Albicans was analyzed using the disc diffusion method. Results revealed that chitosan-containing nanofibrous scaffolds indicate inhibition against S. aureus, but PCL-SF-SESM as control group not. In addition, against C. albicans any antifungal activity was not observed.

Abstract
Background and objective Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have gradually become options for select anti-tumor and antibacterial treatment . The combination of PDT and PTT show great research value, which may greatly improve the curative effect. The aim of the present study was to prepare a compound system of polydopamine and curcumin (PDA-Cur nanocomposites) with excellent antibacterial effect towards Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Methods Dopamine hydrochloride was oxidized and self polymerized in alkaline condition to form PDA-Cur nanocomposites. The structure and morphology of PDA-Cur were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), laser scattering microscopy (LSM), ultraviolet spectrophotometer (UV-vis), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and fluorescence emission spectrometer. Using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), 1,3-diphenylbenzofuran (DPBF) and 2',7'-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) were used to detect the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The thermal stability of PDA-Cur nanocomposites was investigated by temperature rising test. The antibacterial effect of PDA-Cur was determined by plate counting technique using Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) as models. In addition, the stability and antibacterial mechanism of PDA-Cur were investigated. Finally, the biocompatibility was evaluated by cytotoxicity and hemolysis tests. Results The compound system of polydopamine and curcumin was successfully prepared, which showed improved stability compared with Cur. The consumption of DPBF by the singlet oxygen produced by PDA-Cur was as high as 80%. In the heating test, the highest temperature increased to 59 °C, which contributed to the photodynamic and photothermal inactivation of bacteria. PDA-Cur nanocomposites showed good antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli. Under 405 nm light, the bactericidal rate of PDA-Cur against S. aureus can reach 100% at a low concentration of 10-4 nM, and that against E. coli was 100% at 1 nM. Under 405 + 808 nm light, the bactericidal rate of PDA-Cur against E. coli enhanced to 100% at 0.1 nM. In addition, PDA-Cur had low cytotoxicity and negligible hemolytic activity, showing good biocompatibility. Conclusion PDA-Cur nanocomposites had good photodynamic effect, photo thermal conversion ability and biocompatibility. Compared with free Cur, the antibacterial activity of PDA-Cur was significantly improved, and the antibacterial effect with combined light was stronger than that of free Cur. Therefore, the construction of PDA-Cur nanocomposites have confirmed that the combination of PDT and PTT can greatly improve the antibacterial effect and reach bactericidal effect at low concentration, which provides a strategy for the design of next generation antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Bovine pericardium(BP)is one of the biological membranes with extensive application in tissue engineering. To fully investigate the potential clinical applications of this natural biological material, a suitable cross-linking reagent is hopefully adopted for modification. Glutaraldehyde (GA) is a clinically most common synthetic cross-linking reagent. In the study, oxidized hyaluronic acid (AHA) was developed to substitute GA to fix acellular bovine pericardium (ABP) for lower cytotoxicity, aiming to evaluate the feasibility of AHA as a cross-linking reagent and develop AHA-fixed ABP as a biological patch for abdominal wall repair. The AHA with the feeding ratio (1.8:1.0) has an appropriate molecular weight and oxidation degree, almost no cytotoxicity and good cross-linking effect. The critical cross-linking characteristics and cytocompatibility of AHA-fixed ABP were also investigated. The results demonstrated that 2.0% AHA-fixed ABP had the most suitable mechanical properties, thermal stability, resistance to enzymatic degradation and hydrophilicity. Moreover, 2.0% AHA-fixed samples exhibited an excellent cytocompatibility with human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) and low antigenicity. It also showed a prominent anti-calcification ability required for abdominal wall repair. Our data provided experimental basis for future research on AHA as a new cross-linking reagent and AHA-fixed ABP for abdominal wall repair.

Abstract
The translation of mussel-inspired wet adhesion to biomedical engineering fields have catalyzed the emergence of polydopamine (PDA)-based nanomaterials with privileged features and properties of conducting multiple interfacial interactions. Recent concerns and progress on the understanding of PDA's hierarchical structure and progressive assembly are inspiring approaches toward novel nanostructures with property and function advantages over simple nanoparticle architectures. Major breakthroughs in this field demonstrated the essential role of π-π stacking and π-cation interactions in the rational intervention of PDA self-assembly. In this review, the recently emerging concepts in the preparation and application of PDA nanomaterials, including 3D mesostructures, low-dimensional nanostructures, micelle/nanoemulsion based nanoclusters, as well as other multicomponent nanohybrids by the segregation and organization of PDA building blocks on nanoscale interfaces are outlined. The contribution of π-electron interactions on the interfacial loading/release of π electron-rich molecules (nucleic acids, drugs, photosensitizers) and the exogenous coupling of optical energy, as well as the impact of wet-adhesion interactions on the nano-bio interface interplay, are highlighted by discussing the structure-property relationships in their featured applications including fluorescent biosensing, gene therapy, drug delivery, phototherapy, combined therapy, etc. The limitations of current explorations, and future research directions are also discussed.

Abstract
The application of chitosan nanofibers in biological tissue-engineering materials has attracted wide attention. A novel and organic solvent-free method was developed for the fabrication of rootlike chitosan nanofibers (CSNFs) with diameters of 40-250 nm. This method includes three-step mechanical processing of swelling-beating-centrifugation or swelling-beating-homogenization. The obtained nanofibers showed high yields (>95%) and positive specific surface charges (up to +375 μeq/g) and could be uniformly dispersed in the aqueous phase. The unique fiber shape and the good length-to-diameter ratio of CSNFs endowed chitosan nanofiber paper (CSNFP) products with excellent mechanical properties, and the wet tensile strength of the CSNFPs was nearly five times higher than common chitosan films. In addition, the calvaria-derived preosteoblastic cells exhibited a higher adherence efficiency and proliferation on CSNFP than on chitosan films. The chitosan nanofiber scaffold products also benefited the attachment of preosteoblastic cells and allowed them to grow in three dimensions. This method has significant industrial potential for the industrialization of chitosan nanofibers, which may have broad applications in various biomaterials.

Nanotechnologies: An Innovative Tool to Release Natural Extracts with Antimicrobial Properties. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13020230. [PMID: 33562128 PMCID: PMC7915176 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13020230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Site-Specific release of active molecules with antimicrobial activity spurred the interest in the development of innovative polymeric nanocarriers. In the preparation of polymeric devices, nanotechnologies usually overcome the inconvenience frequently related to other synthetic strategies. High performing nanocarriers were synthesized using a wide range of starting polymer structures, with tailored features and great chemical versatility. Over the last decade, many antimicrobial substances originating from plants, herbs, and agro-food waste by-products were deeply investigated, significantly catching the interest of the scientific community. In this review, the most innovative strategies to synthesize nanodevices able to release antimicrobial natural extracts were discussed. In this regard, the properties and structure of the starting polymers, either synthetic or natural, as well as the antimicrobial activity of the biomolecules were deeply investigated, outlining the right combination able to inhibit pathogens in specific biological compartments.

An upgraded and universal strategy to reinforce chitosan/polyvinylpyrrolidone film by incorporating active silica nanorods derived from natural palygorskite. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 165:1276-1285. [PMID: 33035527 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.09.241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2020] [Revised: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Active silica nanorod (OPal) was prepared from natural palygorskite (RPal) using an updated acid leaching route, and then the effect of RPal and OPal as nano-filler on the network structure, mechanical, thermal and anti-aging properties of chitosan/polyvinylpyrrolidone (CS/PVP) films was studied comparatively. It was revealed that OPal had a better dispersibility than RPal in CS/PVP substrate, and its incorporation improved the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the films significantly. The optimal composite film containing OPal shows the maximum tensile strength of 27.53 MPa (only 14.87 MPa and 22.47 MPa for CS/PVP and CS/PVP/RPal films, respectively), resulting from the more uniform dispersion of OPal in polymer substrate and its stronger interaction with 3D polymer network. By a controllable acid-leaching process, the metal ions in octahedral sheets of RPal were dissolved out continuously, which is favorable to alleviate the adverse effects of variable metal ions on the film under UV light irradiation, and thus improve the aging-resistant ability of films. This study provides new ideas for improving the reinforcing ability of natural clay minerals towards biopolymer-based material, finds a new way to resolve the aging problem of polymer composites caused by incorporation of natural clay minerals.
