An insect lac blanket-mimetic and degradable shellac hydrogel/chitosan packaging film with controllable gas permeation for fresh-cut vegetables preservation. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133131. [PMID: 38945721 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Fresh-cut products are extremely perishable due to the processing operations, and the atmosphere environment, especially CO2, O2 and H2O, could profoundly affect their shelf life. Herein, an insect "lac blanket"-mimetic and facile strategy was proposed for fresh-cut vegetables preservation, employing porous shellac hydrogel microparticles as gas "switches" in chitosan film to regulate CO2, O2 and H2O vapor permeability. Thus, the shellac hydrogel/chitosan hybrid film presented the controllable and wide range of gas permeability, compared with the chitosan film. The shellac-COOH nanoscale vesicles aggregated to form shellac hydrogel network via hydrophobic binding. The shellac hydrogel microparticles played a certain lubricating effect on the hybrid film casting solution. The hydrogen bond network between shellac hydrogel and chitosan contributed to the excellent mechanical properties of the hybrid film. The hybrid film also exhibited remarkable water-resistant, antifogging properties, optical transparency and degradability. The hybrid packaging films prepared through this strategy could adjust the internal gas (CO2, O2, H2O and ethylene) contents within the packages, and further exhibited admirable preservation performance on three fresh-cut vegetables with different respiratory metabolisms. This gas permeation-controlled strategy has great potential in fresh food preservation and various other applications that need a modified atmosphere.

Electrospun Composites of Chitosan with Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles for Wound Healing Applications: Characterization and Biocompatibility Evaluation In Vitro and In Vivo. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1787. [PMID: 39000644 PMCID: PMC11243935 DOI: 10.3390/polym16131787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs), as part of tissue regeneration matrices, can protect cells from reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. In addition, they can influence the properties of the scaffold, including its electrospinnability and mechanical strength. In this work, we prepared electrospun fiber mats from a chitosan and polyethylene oxide blend (CS-PEO) with the addition of ceria nanoparticles (CS-PEO-CeONP). The addition of CeONPs resulted in a smaller fiber diameter and higher swelling compared to CS-PEO fiber mats. CeONP-modified fiber mats also had a higher Young's modulus due to the reinforcing effect of the nanoparticles. Both mats had comparable adhesion and cytocompatibility to mesenchymal stem cells, which had a more rounded morphology on CS-PEO-CeONP compared to elongated cells on the CS-PEO mats. Biocompatibility in an in vivo rat model showed no acute toxicity, no septic or allergic inflammation, and no rough scar tissue formation. The degradation of both mats passed the stage of matrix swelling. CS-PEO-CeONP showed significantly slower biodegradation, with most of the matrix remaining in the tissue after 90 days. The reactive inflammation was aseptic in nature with the involvement of multinucleated foreign-body type giant cells and was significantly reduced by day 90. CeONPs induced the formation of the implant's connective tissue capsule. Thus, the introduction of CeONPs influenced the physicochemical properties and biological activity of CS-PEO nanofiber mats.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a progressive condition and stands as one of the primary causes of low back pain. Cell therapy that uses nucleus pulposus (NP)-like cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) holds great promise as a treatment for IDD. However, the conventional two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cultures oversimplify cell-cell interactions, leading to suboptimal differentiation efficiency and potential loss of phenotype. While three-dimensional (3D) culture systems like Matrigel improve hiPSC differentiation efficiency, they are limited by animal-derived materials for translation, poorly defined composition, short-term degradation, and high cost. In this study, we introduce a new 3D scaffold fabricated using medical-grade chitosan with a high degree of deacetylation. The scaffold features a highly interconnected porous structure, near-neutral surface charge, and exceptional degradation stability, benefiting iPSC adhesion and proliferation. This scaffold remarkably enhances the differentiation efficiency and allows uninterrupted differentiation for up to 25 days without subculturing. Notably, cells differentiated on the chitosan scaffold exhibited increased cell survival rates and upregulated gene expression associated with extracellular matrix secretion under a chemically defined condition mimicking the challenging microenvironment of intervertebral discs. These characteristics qualify the chitosan scaffold-cell construct for direct implantation, serving as both a structural support and a cellular source for enhanced stem cell therapy for IDD.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory periodontal disease defined by the progressive loss of tissues surrounding the tooth. Ampicillin is an antibiotic for managing and treating specific bacterial infections, including periodontitis. Periodontal pockets occur due to periodontal disease progression and act as a natural reservoir that is easily reachable for the insertion of a delivery system, and the amount of drug to be released has a major role in the efficiency of treatment of the disease. Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs), particularly those based on chitosan and hyaluronic acid combinations, offer a promising avenue to overcome the challenges associated with drug delivery. These complexes are both biodegradable and biocompatible, making them an optimal choice for enabling targeted drug delivery. This study centers on developing and assessing the structure and dynamic attributes of a drug-PEC system encompassing ampicillin and chitosan-hyaluronic acid components, which represents a targeted drug delivery system to better alleviate the periodontitis. To achieve this goal, we conducted experiments including weight and drug content uniformity, swelling ındex, drug release %, FT-IR and SEM analyses, and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations on the drug PECs loaded with ampicillin with varying amounts of hyaluronic acid. All simulations and the experimental analysis suggested that increased HA amount resulted in an increase in drug release % and swelling index. The simulation outcomes provide insights into the nature of the drug and PEC interactions alongside transport properties such as drug diffusion coefficients. These coefficients offer valuable insights into the molecular behavior of ampicillin-PEC drug delivery systems, particularly in the context of their application in periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogel has attracted tremendous attentions due to its excellent biocompatibility and adaptability in biomedical field. However, it is challenging by the conflicts between inadequate mechanical properties and service requirements. Herein, a rapid and robust hydrogel was developed by interpenetrating networks between chitosan and silk fibroin macromolecules. Thanks to these unique networks, the chitosan-based hydrogel exhibited superior mechanical performances. The maximum breaking strength, Young's modulus and swelling ratio of the hydrogel were 1187.8 kPa, 383.1 MPa and 4.5 % respectively. The hydrogel also supported the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells for 7 days. Notably, the hydrogel was easily molded into bone screw, and demonstrated compressive strengths of 45.7 MPa, Young's modulus of 675.6 MPa, respectively. After 49-day biodegradation, the residual rate of the screw in collagenase I solution was up to 89.6 % of the initial weight. In vitro, the screws not only had high resistance to biodegradation, but also had outstanding biocompatibility of osteoblast. This study provided a promising physical-chemical double crosslinking strategy to build orthopedic materials, holding a great potential in biomedical devices.

Abstract
Background: The cartilage tissue lacks blood vessels, which is composed of chondrocytes and ECM. Due to this vessel-less structure, it is difficult to repair cartilage tissue damages. One of the new methods to repair cartilage damage is to use tissue engineering. In the present study, it was attempted to simulate a three-dimensional environment similar to the natural ECM of cartilage tissue by using hydrogels made of natural materials, including Chitosan and different ratios of Alginate. Material and methods: Chitosan, alginate and Chitosan/Alginate hydrogels were fabricated. Fourier Transform Infrared, XRD, swelling ratio, porosity measurement and degradation tests were applied to scaffolds characterization. After that, human adipose derived-mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs) were cultured on the hydrogels and then their viability and chondrogenic differentiation capacity were studied. Safranin O and Alcian blue staining, immunofluorescence staining and real time RT-PCR were used as analytical methods for chondrogenic differentiation potential evaluation of hADMSCs when cultured on the hydrogels. Results: The highest degradation rate was detected in Chitosan/Alginate (1:0.5) group The scaffold biocompatibility results revealed that the viability of the cells cultured on the hydrogels groups was not significantly different with the cells cultured in the control group. Safranin O staining, Alcian blue staining, immunofluorescence staining and real time PCR results revealed that the chondrogenic differentiation potential of the hADMSCs when grown on the Chitosan/Alginate hydrogel (1:0.5) was significantly higher than those cell grown on the other groups. Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that Chitosan/Alginate hydrogel (1:0.5) could be a promising candidate for cartilage tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
As the population ages, the number of vascular surgery procedures performed increases. Older adults often have multiple comorbidities, such as diabetes and hypertension, that increase the risk of complications from vascular surgery including vascular graft infection (VGI). VGI is a serious complication with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Here, we aimed to develop a nanofibrous chitosan-based coating for vascular grafts loaded with different concentrations of the vancomycin antibiotic vancomycin (VAN). Blending chitosan with poly(vinyl alcohol) or poly(ethylene oxide) copolymers improved solubility and ease of spinning. Thermal gravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of VAN in the nanofibrous membranes. Kinetics of VAN release from the nanofibrous mats were evaluated using high-performance liquid chromatography, showing a burst followed by sustained release over 24 h. To achieve longer sustained release, a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) coating was applied, resulting in extended release of up to 7 days. Biocompatibility assessment using human umbilical vein endothelial cells demonstrated successful attachment and viability of the nanofiber patches. Our study provides insights into the development of a drug delivery system for vascular grafts aimed at preventing infection during implantation, highlighting the potential of electrospinning as a promising technique in the field of vascular surgery.

Abstract
In the last ten years, remarkable characteristics and a variety of functionalities have been created in biopolymeric materials for clinical dental applications. This review gives an overview of current knowledge of natural biopolymers (biological macromolecules) in terms of structural, functional, and property interactions. Natural biopolymers such as polysaccharides (chitosan, bacterial cellulose, hyaluronic acid, and alginate) and polypeptides (collagen and silk fibroin) have been discussed for dental uses. These biopolymers exhibit excellent properties alone and when employed with other composite molecules making them ideal for treatment of periodontitis, endodontics, dental pulp regeneration and oral wound healing. These biopolymers together with the composite materials exhibit better biocompatibility, inertness, elasticity and flexibility which makes them a leading candidate to be used for other dental applications like caries management, oral appliances, dentures, dental implants and oral surgeries.

[PMID: 38171686 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage arising from surgery or trauma may cause morbidity and even mortality. Therefore, facilitating control of severe bleeding is imperative for health care worldwide. Among diverse hemostatic materials, chitosan (CS) is becoming the most promising material owing to its non-toxic feature, as well as inherently hemostatic performance. However, further enhancing hemostatic property of CS-based materials without compromising more beneficial functions remains a challenge. In this review, representative hemostatic mechanisms of CS-based materials are firstly discussed in detail, mostly including red blood cells (RBCs) aggregation, platelet adherence and aggregation, as well as interaction with plasma proteins. Also, various forms (involving powder/particle, sponge, hydrogel, nanofiber, and other forms) of CS-based hemostatic materials are systematically summarized, mainly focusing on their design and preparation, characteristics, and comparative analysis of various forms. In addition, varied hemostatic applications are described in detail, such as skin wound hemostasis, liver hemostasis, artery hemostasis, and heart hemostasis. Finally, current challenges and future directions of functional design of CS-based hemostatic materials in diverse hemostatic applications are proposed to inspire more intensive researches.

Chitosan-based adsorptive membrane modified by carboxymethyl cellulose for heavy metal ion adsorption: Experimental and density functional theory investigations. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128706. [PMID: 38101669 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Low adsorption capacity and weak mechanical stability are the main drawbacks of chitosan (CS)-based adsorptive membranes for heavy metal ion removal. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been used to improve the mechanical stability of CS membranes, but adsorption capacity is disregarded. In the current study, the surface of the chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CP) membrane was modified using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to increase its heavy metal ion adsorption capacity. Experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to evaluate the heavy metal ion (As3+ and Cr3+) adsorption capabilities of CP and carboxymethyl cellulose-functionalized CP (CMC-CP) membranes. The batch adsorption process presented a higher heavy metal adsorption capacity of the CMC-CP membrane (As3+/CMC-CP = 234.78 mg/g and Cr3+/CMC-CP = 230.12 mg/g) compared to the CP membrane (As3+/CP = 89.02 mg/g and Cr3+/CP = 75.61 mg/g). The heavy metal/CMC-CP complexes confirmed higher adsorption energies (As3+/CMC-CP = -23.62 kcal/mol and Cr3+/CMC-CP = -23.21 kcal/mol) than the heavy metal/CP complexes (As3+/CP = -3.47 kcal/mol and Cr3+/CP = -2.92 kcal/mol). The electronic band structure was higher for CMC-CP (5.42 eV) compared to CP (4.43 eV). Experimental and theoretical findings were close, implying that the CMC-CP membrane has superior heavy metal adsorption capability than the CP membrane.

Abstract
Implantable electrodes have raised great interest over the last years with the increasing incidence of neurodegenerative disorders. For brain implant devices, some key factors resulting in the formation of glial scars, such as mechanical mismatch and acute injury-induced inflammation, should be considered for material design. Therefore, in this study, a new biocompatible flexible electrode (e-SgG) with arbitrary shapes on a positive electrode was developed via electrogelation by applying a direct electrical voltage on a silk fibroin/gelatin/reduced graphene oxide composite hydrogel. The implantable flexible e-SgG-2 film with 1.23% rGO content showed high Young's modulus (11-150 MPa), which was sufficient for penetration under dried conditions but subsequently became a biomimetic brain tissue with low Young's modulus (50-3200 kPa) after insertion in the brain. At the same time, an anti-inflammatory drug (DEX) incorporated into the e-SgG-2 film can be electrically stimulated to exhibit two-stage release to overcome tissue inflammation during cyclic voltammetry via degradation by applying an AC field. The results of cell response to the SF/gelatin/rGO/DEX composite film showed that the released DEX could interrupt astrocyte growth to reduce the inflammatory response but showed non-toxicity toward neurons, which demonstrated a great potential for the application of the biocompatible and degradable e-SgG-D electrodes in the improvement of nerve tissue repair.

Abstract
Despite many reports detailing silk hydrogels, the development of composite silk hydrogels with homotypic and heterotypic silk nanoparticles and their impact on material mechanics and biology have remained largely unexplored. We hypothesise that the inclusion of nanoparticles into silk-based hydrogels enables the formation of homotropic and heterotropic material assemblies. The aim was to explore how well these systems allow tuning of mechanics and cell adhesion to ultimately control the cell-material interface. We utilised nonporous silica nanoparticles as a standard reference and compared them to nanoparticles derived from Bombyx mori silk and Antheraea mylitta (tasar) silk (approximately 100-150 nm in size). Initially, physically cross-linked B. mori silk hydrogels were prepared containing silica, B. mori silk nanoparticles, or tasar silk nanoparticles at concentrations of either 0.05% or 0.5% (w/v). The initial modulus (stiffness) of these nanoparticle-functionalised silk hydrogels was similar. Stress relaxation was substantially faster for nanoparticle-modified silk hydrogels than for unmodified control hydrogels. Increasing the concentrations of B. mori silk and silica nanoparticles slowed stress relaxation, while the opposite trend was observed for hydrogels modified with tasar nanoparticles. Cell attachment was similar for all hydrogels, but proliferation during the initial 24 h was significantly improved with the nanoparticle-modified hydrogels. Overall, this study demonstrates the manufacture and utilisation of homotropic and heterotropic silk hydrogels.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering have emerged as a multidisciplinary promising field in the quest to address the limitations of traditional medical approaches. One of the key aspects of these fields is the development of such types of biomaterials that can mimic the extracellular matrix and provide a conducive environment for tissue regeneration. In this regard, chitosan has played a vital role which is a naturally derived linear bi-poly-aminosaccharide, and has gained significant attention due to its biocompatibility and unique properties. Chitosan possesses many unique physicochemical properties, making it a significant polysaccharide for different applications such as agriculture, nutraceutical, biomedical, food, nutraceutical, packaging, etc. as well as significant material for developing next-generation hydrogel and bio-scaffolds for regenerative medicinal applications. Moreover, chitosan can be easily modified to incorporate desirable properties, such as improved mechanical strength, enhanced biodegradability, and controlled release of bioactive molecules. Blending chitosan with other polymers or incorporating nanoparticles into its matrix further expands its potential in tissue engineering applications. This review summarizes the most recent studies of the last 10 years based on chitosan, blends, and nanocomposites and their application in bone tissue engineering, hard tissue engineering, dental implants, dental tissue engineering, dental fillers, and cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
Tissue loss and end-stage organ failure are serious health problems across the world. Natural and synthetic polymer scaffold material based artificial organs play an important role in the field of tissue engineering and organ regeneration, but they are not from the body and may cause side effects such as rejection. In recent years, the biomimetic decellularized scaffold based materials have drawn great attention in the tissue engineering field for their good biocompatibility, easy modification, and excellent organism adaptability. Therefore, in this review, we comprehensively summarize the application of decellularized scaffolds in tissue engineering and biomedicine in recent years. The preparation methods, modification strategies, construction of artificial tissues, and application in biomedical applications are discussed. We hope that this review will provide a useful reference for research on decellularized scaffolds and promote their application tissue engineering.

Packaging films based on biopolymers from seafood processing wastes: Preparation, properties, and their applications for shelf-life extension of seafoods-A comprehensive review. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:4451-4483.

Abstract
Biopolymers derived from seafood processing byproducts are used to prepare active and biodegradable films as the packaging of food products. These films possess bioactivities to enhance the shelf life of packed foods by proactively releasing antimicrobial/antioxidative agents into the foods and providing sufficient barrier properties. Seafood processing byproducts are an eminent source of valuable compounds, including biopolymers and bioactive compounds. These biopolymers, including collagen, gelatin, chitosan, and muscle proteins, could be used to prepare robust and sustainable food packaging with some antimicrobial agents or antioxidants, for example, plant extracts rich in polyphenols or essential oils. These active packaging are not only biodegradable but also prevent the deterioration of packed foods caused by spoilage microorganisms as well as chemical deterioration. Seafood discards have a promising benefit for the development of environmentally friendly food packaging systems via the appropriate preparation methods or techniques. Therefore, the green packaging from seafood leftover can be better exploited and replace the synthetic counterpart.

Abstract
Marine polysaccharides (MPs) are exceptional bioactive materials that possess unique biochemical mechanisms and pharmacological stability, making them ideal for various tissue engineering applications. Certain MPs, including agarose, alginate, carrageenan, chitosan, and glucan have been successfully employed as biological scaffolds in animal studies. As carriers of signaling molecules, scaffolds can enhance the adhesion, growth, and differentiation of somatic cells, thereby significantly improving the tissue regeneration process. However, the biological benefits of pure MPs composite scaffold are limited. Therefore, physical, chemical, enzyme modification and other methods are employed to expand its efficacy. Chemically, the structural properties of MPs scaffolds can be altered through modifications to functional groups or molecular weight reduction, thereby enhancing their biological activities. Physically, MPs hydrogels and sponges emulate the natural extracellular matrix, creating a more conducive environment for tissue repair. The porosity and high permeability of MPs membranes and nanomaterials expedite wound healing. This review explores the distinctive properties and applications of select MPs in tissue regeneration, highlighting their structural versatility and biological applicability. Additionally, we provide a brief overview of common modification strategies employed for MP scaffolds. In conclusion, MPs have significant potential and are expected to be a novel regenerative material for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Biomaterial engineering approaches involve using a combination of miscellaneous bioactive molecules which may promote cell proliferation and, thus, form a scaffold with the environment that favors the regeneration process. Chitosan, a naturally occurring biodegradable polymer, possess some essential features, i.e., biodegradability, biocompatibility, and in the solid phase good porosity, which may contribute to promote cell adhesion. Moreover, doping of the materials with other biocompounds will create a unique and multifunctional scaffold that will be useful in regenerative medicine. This study is focused on the manufacturing and characterization of composite materials based on chitosan, hydroxyapatite, and riboflavin. The resulting films were fabricated by the casting/solvent evaporation method. Morphological and spectroscopy analyses of the films revealed a porous structure and an interconnection between chitosan and apatite. The composite material showed an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and exhibited higher antioxidant activity compared to pure chitosan. In vitro studies on riboflavin showed increased cell proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and osteosarcoma cells, thus demonstrating their potential for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process that involves restoring the structure of damaged tissues through four phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Wound dressings are the most common treatment used to cover wounds, reduce infection risk and the loss of physiological fluids, and enhance wound healing. Despite there being several types of wound dressings based on different materials and fabricated through various techniques, polymeric films have been widely employed due to their biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Furthermore, they are non-invasive, easy to apply, allow gas exchange, and can be transparent. Among different methods for designing polymeric films, solvent casting represents a reliable, preferable, and highly used technique due to its easygoing and relatively low-cost procedure compared to sophisticated methods such as spin coating, microfluidic spinning, or 3D printing. Therefore, this review focuses on the polymeric dressings obtained using this technique, emphasizing the critical manufacturing factors related to pharmaceuticals, specifically discussing the formulation variables necessary to create wound dressings that demonstrate effective performance.

Abstract
In this study, we elaborated new chitosan-based films reinforced by iron(III)-containing chitosan nanoparticles Fe(III)-CS-NPs at different concentrations. We found that the optimum concentration of Fe(III)-CS-NPs for the improvement of antibacterial and mechanical properties of the films was 10% (σb = ca. 8.8 N/mm2, εb = ca. 41%, inhibition zone for S. aureus = ca. 16.8 mm and for E. coli = ca. 11.2 mm). Also, using the click-chemistry approach (thiol-ene reaction), we have synthesized a novel water-soluble cationic derivative of chitin. The addition of this derivative of chitin to the chitosan polymer matrix of the elaborated film significantly improved its mechanical (σb = ca. 11.6 N/mm2, εb = ca. 75%) and antimicrobial (inhibition zone for S. aureus = ca. 19.6 mm and for E. coli = ca. 14.2 mm) properties. The key mechanism of the antibacterial action of the obtained films is the disruption of the membranes of bacterial cells. The elaborated antibacterial films are of interest for potential biomedical and food applications.

Abstract
Antibacterial chitosan films, versatile and eco-friendly materials, have garnered significant attention in both the food industry and medicine due to their unique properties, including biodegradability, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity. This review delves into the various types of chitosan films and their distinct applications. The categories of films discussed span from pure chitosan films to those enhanced with additives such as metal nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, graphene, fullerene and its derivatives, and plant extracts. Each type of film is examined in terms of its synthesis methods and unique properties, establishing a clear understanding of its potential utility. In the food industry, these films have shown promise in extending shelf life and maintaining food quality. In the medical field, they have been utilized for wound dressings, drug delivery systems, and as antibacterial coatings for medical devices. The review further suggests that the incorporation of different additives can significantly enhance the antibacterial properties of chitosan films. While the potential of antibacterial chitosan films is vast, the review underscores the need for future research focused on optimizing synthesis methods, understanding structure-property relationships, and rigorous evaluation of safety, biocompatibility, and long-term stability in real-world applications.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayers are nanofilms with vast applications in numerous areas such as medicine and food industry. Recently, they have been getting a lot of attention as potential food coatings for the prevention of fruit decay during transportation and storage, and therefore the coatings need to be biocompatible. In this study, we fabricated thin films made of biocompatible polyelectrolytes, positively charged polysaccharide chitosan, and negatively charged carboxymethyl cellulose on a model silica surface. Typically, to enhance the properties of the prepared nanofilms, the first layer (precursor layer) of poly(ethyleneimine) is used. However, for the construction of completely biocompatible coatings, this could be problematic due to potential toxicity. This study offers an option for a viable candidate as a replacement precursor layer: chitosan itself was adsorbed from a more concentrated solution. In the case of chitosan/carboxymethyl cellulose films, using chitosan over poly(ethyleneimine) as a precursor layer has shown a twofold increase in film thickness, as well as an increase in film roughness. In addition, these properties can be tuned by the presence of a biocompatible background salt (e.g., sodium chloride) in the deposition solution that has proven to change the film thickness and surface roughness depending on the salt concentration. Such a straightforward way of tuning the properties of these films combined with their biocompatibility makes this precursor material a prime candidate for use as a potential food coating.

Abstract
Petroleum-based films have contributed immensely to various environmental issues. Developing green-based films from carbohydrate polymers is crucial for addressing the harms encountered. However, some limitations exist on their property, processibility, and applicability that prohibit their processing for further developments. This review discusses the potential carbohydrate polymers and their sources, film preparation methods, such as solvent-casting, tape-casting, extrusion, and thermo-mechanical compressions for green-based films using various biological polymers with their merits and demerits. Research outcomes revealed that the essential characteristics improvement achieved by incorporating different metallic nanoparticles has significantly reformed the properties of biofilms, including crystallization, mechanical stability, thermal stability, barrier function, and antimicrobial activity. The property-enhanced bio-based films made with nanoparticles are potentially interested in replacing fossil-based films in various areas, including food-packaging applications. The review paves a new way for the commercial use of numerous carbohydrate polymers to help maintain a sustainable green environment.

Abstract
After more than 20 years following the introduction of regenerative medicine to address the problem of cardiac diseases, still questions arise as to the best cell types and materials to use to obtain effective clinical translation. Now that it is definitively clear that the heart does not have a consistent reservoir of stem cells that could give rise to new myocytes, and that there are cells that could contribute, at most, with their pro-angiogenic or immunomodulatory potential, there is fierce debate on what will emerge as the winning strategy. In this regard, new developments in somatic cells' reprogramming, material science and cell biophysics may be of help, not only for protecting the heart from the deleterious consequences of aging, ischemia and metabolic disorders, but also to boost an endogenous regeneration potential that seems to be lost in the adulthood of the human heart.

Effect of Drug Encapsulation and Hydrothermal Exposure on the Structure and Molecular Dynamics of the Binary System Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-chitosan. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15102260.

Abstract
In this work, film materials based on binary compositions of poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and chitosan with different ratios of polymer components in the range from 0/100 to 100/0 wt. % were studied. Using a combination of thermal (DSC) and relaxation (EPR) measurements, the influence of the encapsulation temperature of the drug substance (DS) of dipyridamole (DPD) and moderately hot water (at 70 °C) on the characteristics of the PHB crystal structure and the diffusion rotational mobility of the stable TEMPO radical in the amorphous regions of the PHB/chitosan compositions is shown. The low-temperature extended maximum on the DSC endotherms made it possible to obtain additional information about the state of the chitosan hydrogen bond network. This allowed us to determine the enthalpies of thermal destruction of these bonds. In addition, it is shown that when PHB and chitosan are mixed, significant changes are observed in the degree of crystallinity of PHB, degree of destruction of hydrogen bonds in chitosan, segmental mobility, sorption capacity of the radical, and the activation energy of rotational diffusion in the amorphous regions of the PHB/chitosan composition. The characteristic point of polymer compositions was found to correspond to the ratio of the components of the mixture 50/50%, for which the inversion transition of PHB from dispersed material to dispersion medium is assumed. Encapsulation of DPD in the composition leads to higher crystallinity and to a decrease in the enthalpy of hydrogen bond breaking, and it also slows down segmental mobility. Exposure to an aqueous medium at 70 °C is also accompanied by sharp changes in the concentration of hydrogen bonds in chitosan, the degree of PHB crystallinity, and molecular dynamics. The conducted research made it possible for the first time to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the mechanism of action of a number of aggressive external factors (such as temperature, water, and the introduced additive in the form of a drug) on the structural and dynamic characteristics of the PHB/chitosan film material at the molecular level. These film materials have the potential to serve as a therapeutic system for controlled drug delivery.

Abstract
Chitin, as the main component of the exoskeleton of Arthropoda, is a highly available natural polymer that can be processed into various value-added products. Its most important derivative, i.e., chitosan, comprising β-1,4-linked 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-d-glucose (deacetylated d-glucosamine) and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine units, can be prepared via alkaline deacetylation process. Chitosan has been used as a biodegradable, biocompatible, non-antigenic, and nontoxic polymer in some in-vitro applications, but the recently found potentials of chitosan for in-vivo applications based on its biological activities, especially antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities, have upgraded the chitosan roles in biomaterials. Chitosan approval, generally recognized as a safe compound by the United States Food and Drug Administration, has attracted much attention toward its possible applications in diverse fields, especially biomedicine and agriculture. Even with some favorable characteristics, the chitosan's structure should be customized for advanced applications, especially due to its drawbacks, such as low drug-load capacity, low solubility, high viscosity, lack of elastic properties, and pH sensitivity. In this context, derivatization with relatively inexpensive and highly available mono- and di-saccharides to soluble branched chitosan has been considered a "game changer". This review critically reviews the emerging technologies based on the synthesis and application of lactose- and galactose-modified chitosan as two important chitosan derivatives. Some characteristics of chitosan derivatives and biological activities have been detailed first to understand the value of these natural polymers. Second, the saccharide modification of chitosan has been discussed briefly. Finally, the applications of lactose- and galactose-modified chitosan have been scrutinized and compared to native chitosan to provide an insight into the current state-of-the research for stimulating new ideas with the potential of filling research gaps.

Abstract
Chitosan coatings of 353 ± 12 nm thickness were prepared on glass and zinc substrates by dip-coating method to study their barrier-behaviour. The coatings were chemically modified to increase their degree of acetylation (DA) from ca. 44 % up to ca. 98 % resulting a quasi-chitin coating. The effect of the acetylation reaction was studied by infrared spectroscopy, and the structural changes of the native and acetylated coatings were investigated by UV-Vis spectrophotometry and X-ray diffraction. The surface properties of the coated samples were characterized by wettability measurements - advancing water contact angle decreased from ca. 80° (native) to ca. 43° (fully acetylated) - and microscopic (SEM, AFM) studies. The barrier behaviour of the chitosan layer depending on the DA was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies and with a special mesoporous silica - chitosan bilayer system by measuring the amount of dye (Rhodamine 6G) accumulated in the silica through the chitosan coating during an impregnation step. These methods showed significant decrease in the barrier-effect of the coatings with increasing DA (accumulation of approximately six times more dye and a reduction of charge transfer resistance by an order of magnitude), due to the structural and ionization changes in the coatings.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 230:123115. [PMID: 36599385 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.123115] [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: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Inspired by phenol-amine chemistry of mussels, a synthesis-free and fully biomass adhesive composed of chitosan and tannin (CST) was successfully developed by a facile method. The performance of CST adhesive for bonding bamboo, wood and bamboo-wood substrates were tested. When 160 °C hot-press temperature was used, dry lap shear strength above 5.00 MPa was obtained. The CST adhesive has remarkable water resistance and low cure temperature as high wet shear strength of 2.37 MPa for plybamboo specimens was achieved after 3 h boiling in water even though low hot-press temperature of 100 °C was applied. Further, high strength of 1.78 MPa remained after 72 h boiling. With higher hot-press temperatures used, wet shear strength above 3.60 MPa was achieved. The adhesion performance for wood substrate was also superior to other phenol-amine adhesives reported in literatures. The bamboo-wood composites assembled with CST adhesive show excellent mechanical performance, specifically modulus of rupture (MOR) of 100-133 MPa and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of 10-13 GPa were achieved with different hot-press temperatures used. Given the advantages including outstanding water resistance, facile preparation, fully biomass, and low cure temperature, CST adhesive exhibited great potential to be an ideal alternative to formaldehyde-based resin for wood and bamboo bonding.

Abstract
Infections have emerged as a novel target in managing skin and mucosa diseases. Bacterial resistance to antimicrobials and biofilm elimination from surfaces remains a challenge. Because polymeric nanocapsules (NC) can increase antimicrobial activity, this study aimed to produce and characterize NC into chitosan films (CSF). Copaiba essential oil (CO) presents antimicrobial activity and was chosen to load NC. In addition, the antibacterial activity was evaluated to obtain a new biodegradable polymeric platform system with the potential to treat topical diseases associated with bacterial infections. The CO-NC produced by nanoprecipitation presented particle size lower than 250 nm, negative charge, and encapsulation efficiency higher than 70 %. Direct incorporation of CO into CSF (CO-CSF) by casting method worsened the film's characteristics. However, incorporating CO-NC into CSF (CO-NC-CSF) avoided these drawbacks demonstrating improved physical, mechanical, morphological, and topographical properties. FTIR results demonstrated possible intermolecular interactions among the polymers and CO. The CO-NC-CSF and CO-CSF presented antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, especially the formulation containing 1 % of CO. These results indicated that CO-NC-CSF is a promising candidate for treating skin disorders.

Abstract
Chitosan is a marine-origin polysaccharide obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the main component of crustaceans’ exoskeleton, and the second most abundant in nature. Although this biopolymer has received limited attention for several decades right after its discovery, since the new millennium chitosan has emerged owing to its physicochemical, structural and biological properties, multifunctionalities and applications in several sectors. This review aims at providing an overview of chitosan properties, chemical functionalization, and the innovative biomaterials obtained thereof. Firstly, the chemical functionalization of chitosan backbone in the amino and hydroxyl groups will be addressed. Then, the review will focus on the bottom-up strategies to process a wide array of chitosan-based biomaterials. In particular, the preparation of chitosan-based hydrogels, organic–inorganic hybrids, layer-by-layer assemblies, (bio)inks and their use in the biomedical field will be covered aiming to elucidate and inspire the community to keep on exploring the unique features and properties imparted by chitosan to develop advanced biomedical devices. Given the wide body of literature that has appeared in past years, this review is far from being exhaustive. Selected works in the last 10 years will be considered.

Abstract
Gliomas are a heterogeneous group of brain tumours with high malignancy, for which surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment at present. However, the overall prognosis of gliomas remains poor because of their aggressiveness and high recurrence. Temozolomide (TMZ) has anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effects and is indicated for glioblastoma multiforme and recurrent mesenchymal astrocytoma. However, TMZ is disadvantaged by low efficacy and drug resistance, and therefore it is necessary to enhance the brain drug concentration of TMZ to improve its effectiveness and reduce the toxic and adverse effects from systemic administration. There have been many nano-formulations developed for the delivery of TMZ to gliomas that overcome the limitations of TMZ penetration to tumours and increase brain targeting. In this paper, we review the research progress of TMZ nano-formulations, and also discuss challenges and opportunities in the research and development of drug delivery systems, hoping that the data and information summarised herein could provide assistance for the clinical treatment of gliomas.

Abstract
In clinical practice, challenges remain in the treatment of large infected bone defects. Bone tissue engineering scaffolds with good mechanical properties and antibiotic-controlled release are powerful strategies for infection treatment. In this study, we prepared polylactic acid (PLA)/nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) scaffolds with vertical orthogonal and staggered orthogonal structures by applying 3D printing technology. In addition, vancomycin (Van)-based chitosan (CS) hydrogel (Gel@Van) was loaded on the scaffold (PLA/nHA/CS-Van) to form a local antibiotic release system. The microstructure of the composite scaffold had high porosity with interconnected three-dimensional networks. The mechanical properties of the PLA/nHA/CS-Van composite scaffold were enhanced by the addition of CS-Van. The results of the water contact angle analysis showed that the hydrophilicity of the drug-loaded scaffold improved. In addition, the composite scaffold could produce sustained release in vitro for more than 8 weeks without adverse effects on the proliferation and differentiation of mouse embryonic osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1), which confirmed its good biocompatibility. During the in vitro antimicrobial study, the composite scaffold effectively inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Therefore, our results suggest that the PLA/nHA/CS-Van composite scaffold is a promising strategy for treating infected bone defects.

Carboxymethyl chitosan/sodium alginate hydrogels with polydopamine coatings as promising dressings for eliminating biofilm and multidrug-resistant bacteria induced wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 225:923-937.

Abstract
Microorganisms induced wound infection and the accompanying excessive inflammatory response is the daunting problems in wound treatment. Due to the lack of corresponding biological functions, traditional wound dressings cannot effectively protect the wound and are prone to induce local infection, excessive inflammation, and vascular damage, resulting in prolonged unhealing. Here, a mussel-inspired strategy was adopted to prepare a multifunctional hydrogel created by H2O2/CuSO4-induced rapid polydopamine (PDA) deposition on carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)/sodium alginate (Alg) based hydrogel, termed as CAC/PDA/Cu(H2O2). The prepared CAC/PDA/Cu(H2O2) hydrogel features excellent biocompatibility, adequate mechanical properties, and good degradability. Moreover, the CAC/PDA/Cu(H2O2) hydrogel can not only realize antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects, but also promote angiogenesis to accelerate wound healing in vitro thanks to the composite PDA/Cu(H2O2) coatings. Significantly, CAC/PDA/Cu(H2O2) hydrogel illustrates excellent therapeutic effects in Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) induced-rat infection models, which can efficiently eliminate MRSA, dramatically reduce inflammatory expression, promote angiogenesis, and ultimately shorten the wound healing time. CAC/PDA/Cu(H2O2) hydrogel exhibited the best wound healing rate on days 7 (80.63 ± 2.44 %), 11 (92.45 ± 2.26 %), and 14 (97.86 ± 0.66 %). Thus, the multifunctional hydrogel provides a facile and efficient approach to wound management and represents promising potential in the therapy for wound healing.

Abstract
Surface engineering of particles based on a polymeric coating is of great interest in materials design and applications. Due to the disadvantages of non-biodegradability and undesirable biocompatibility, the application of petroleum-based synthetic polymers coating in the biomedical field has been greatly limited. In addition, there is lack of a universal surface modification method to functionalize particles of different compositions, sizes, shapes, and structures. Thus, it is imperative to develop a versatile biopolymeric coating with good biocompatibility and tunable biodegradability for the preparation of functional particle materials regardless of their surface chemical and physical structures. Recently, the natural polysaccharide polymers (e.g. chitosan and cellulose), polyphenol-based biopolymers (e.g. polydopamine and tannic acid), and proteins (e.g. amyloid-like aggregates) have been utilized in surface modification of particles, and applications of these modified particles in the field of biomedicine have been also intensively exploited. In this review, the preparation of the above three coatings on particles surface are summarized, and the applications of these materials in drug loading/release, biomineralization, cell immobilization/protection, enzyme immobilization/protection, and antibacterial/antiviral are exemplified. Finally, the challenges and the future research directions on biopolymer coating for particles surface engineering are prospected. This review highlights the importance of particle surface engineering in the materials field. . This review summarizes biopolymer coating for particle surface engineering and their biomedical applications. . This review discusses the key challenges and directions for future research and development of particle surface engineering .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Existing implant materials cannot meet the essential multifunctional requirements of repairing infected bone defects, such as antibacterial and osteogenesis abilities. A promising strategy to develop a versatile biomimicry composite of the natural bone structure may be accomplished by combining a multifunctional nanoparticle with an organic scaffold. METHODS In this study, a quaternary ammonium silane-modified mesoporous silica containing nano silver (Ag@QHMS) was successfully synthesized and further combined with silk fibroin (SF) to fabricate the multifunctional nano-reinforced scaffold (SF-Ag@QHMS) using the freeze-drying method. Furthermore, the antibacterial and osteogenic effects of this composite were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS SF-Ag@QHMS inherited a three-dimensional porous structure (porosity rate: 91.90 ± 0.62%) and better mechanical characteristics (2.11 ± 0.06 kPa) than that of the SF scaffold (porosity rate: 91.62 ± 1.65%; mechanic strength: 2.02 ± 0.01 kPa). Simultaneously, the introduction of versatile nanoparticles has provided the composite with additional antibacterial ability against Porphyromonas gingivalis, which can be maintained for 15 days. Furthermore, the expression of osteogenic-associated factors was up-regulated due to the silver ions eluting from the composite scaffold. The in vivo micro-CT and histological results indicated that the new bone formation was not only localized around the border of the defect but also arose more in the center with the support of the composite. CONCLUSION The multifunctional silver-loaded mesoporous silica enhanced the mechanical strength of the composite while also ensuring greater and sustained antibacterial and osteogenic properties, allowing the SF-Ag@QHMS composite to be used to repair infected bone defects.

Abstract
Background Chitosan is a biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic natural polymer that can be fabricated by different methods for use in dental and biomedical fields. Electrospinning can produce polymeric nanofibrous scaffolds and membranes with desirable properties for use in tissue engineering. The objectives of this study were to investigate several morphological, physical, and biological characteristics of these nanofibrous scaffolds and evaluate their potential use in tissue engineering. Methodology Chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol nanofibrous scaffolds (CS/PVA NFS) in a ratio of 70/30 were fabricated by conventional electrospinning. The scaffolds were evaluated chemically by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and morphologically by the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). These scaffolds were also evaluated mechanically by a tensile strength test and several investigations, including water contact angle, swelling ratio, and degradation ratio. Biological evaluations included protein adsorption, cell culture, and cell viability assay. Results The morphological evaluation revealed a homogenous, bead-free mat with an average fiber diameter of 172.7 ± 56.8 nm, an average pore size of 0.54 ± 0.17 µm, and porosity of 74.8% ± 3.3%; the scaffolds showed a tensile strength of 6.67 ± 0.7 Mpa. Scaffolds showed a desired hydrophilic property, as shown by the water contact angle test with a mean angle of 29.5°, while the swelling ratio was 229%, and degradability in phosphate buffer solution after 30 days was 26.9 ± 2.9%. In-vitro cell culture study with adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells and cell viability and cytotoxicity tests by MTT assay demonstrated well-attached cells with increasing proliferation rate with no signs of cytotoxicity. Conclusions Assessment of the CS/PVA NFS revealed randomly oriented bead-free and porous mats. The scaffolds were stable at aqueous solutions following thermal treatment. They were hydrophilic, biodegradable, and biocompatible, as shown by the cell culture and MTT assay, which suggest that the fabricated scaffolds have the potential to be used in tissue engineering applications either as scaffolds, bio-grafts, or barrier membranes.

Abstract
Chitosan, a naturally abundant cationic polymer, is chemically composed of cellulose-based biopolymers derived by deacetylating chitin. It offers several attractive characteristics such as renewability, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity towards gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi, etc., because of which it is receiving immense attention as a biopolymer for a plethora of applications including drug delivery, protective coating materials, food packaging films, wastewater treatment, and so on. Additionally, its structure carries reactive functional groups that enable several reactions and electrochemical interactions at the biomolecular level and improves the chitosan’s physicochemical properties and functionality. This review article highlights the extensive research about the properties, extraction techniques, and recent developments of chitosan-based composites for drug, gene, protein, and vaccine delivery applications. Its versatile applications in tissue engineering and wound healing are also discussed. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives for chitosan in biomedical applications are elucidated.

Abstract
A two-nozzle electrospinning method was employed to fabricate hybrid nanofibers based on chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA), with a ratio of 50:50, and poly (Ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL). CeAlO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by combustion method and utilized to improve the nanofiber's properties for wound dressing application. Cephalexin (CFX), as an antibiotic model, was also incorporated into the hydrophilic nanofibers. X-ray diffraction showed an increase in crystallinity when CeAlO3-NPs were present in the nanofibers. Water vapor transmission rates in the samples were calculated as 2201-2627 g m-2 day-1, all within the normal range of ideal wound dressings. Mechanical studies revealed a 43 % and 85 % increase in tensile strength and modulus when CeAlO3-NPs were incorporated. In vitro drug release tests were conducted to simulate drug release, and the neat fibers showed faster release than the modified fibers. The MTT assay and cell morphology experiments showed that CeAlO3-NPs did not affect the nanofiber's biocompatibility and fibroblast cells could better grow, differentiate and cover the prepared hybrid scaffold surface compared to the neat fibers. Taking the results of our study into account, we believe the prepared nanofibrous has the potential for use as a low-cost, effective wound dressing.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide. Current treatments directed at heart repair have several disadvantages, such as a lack of donors for heart transplantation or non-bioactive inert materials for replacing damaged tissue. Because of the natural lack of regeneration of cardiomyocytes, new treatment strategies involve stimulating heart tissue regeneration. The basic three elements of cardiac tissue engineering (cells, growth factors, and scaffolds) are described in this review, with a highlight on the role of artificial scaffolds. Scaffolds for cardiac tissue engineering are tridimensional porous structures that imitate the extracellular heart matrix, with the ability to promote cell adhesion, migration, differentiation, and proliferation. In the heart, there is an important requirement to provide scaffold cellular attachment, but scaffolds also need to permit mechanical contractility and electrical conductivity. For researchers working in cardiac tissue engineering, there is an important need to choose an adequate artificial scaffold biofabrication technique, as well as the ideal biocompatible biodegradable biomaterial for scaffold construction. Finally, there are many suitable options for researchers to obtain scaffolds that promote cell-electrical interactions and tissue repair, reaching the goal of cardiac tissue engineering.

Abstract
A new precursor (Ag+/CS/PNIPA) arranged as a nanogel (nanoreactor) is obtained from the aqueous mixture of Ag+, chitosan (CS) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA). A model synthetic system based on the thermally induced aqueous silver ions-CS reaction to form silver nanoparticles (AgNP) is used as a starting point to assess the PNIPA role as a thermo-sensitive additive of synthesis in a low content for the production of size-controlled AgNP. As expected, the PNIPA phase transition produced by the temperature increase leads to chitosan nanogel contraction, lowering the diffusion of ionic species. PNIPA behaves as a successful additive between 5.6 and 10.5 wt% of content blended with chitosan, noticeably improving AgNP nucleation during thermal treatment at 90 °C. Higher PNIPA contents are less effective in achieving size control and broader size distributions are generated. The PNIPA effect on the nanoreactor structure is characterized by rheology, modelled and analyzed against the AgNP morphology obtained.

Abstract
In the present work, the effectiveness of vacuum deposition technique for obtaining composite thin films based on chitosan-coated magnesium-doped hydroxyapatite Ca10−xMgx(PO4)6 (OH)2 with xMg = 0.025 (MgHApCh) was proved for the first time. The prepared samples were exposed to three doses (0, 3, and 6 Gy) of gamma irradiation. The MgHApCh composite thin films nonirradiated and irradiated were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies. The biological evaluation of the samples was also presented. All the results obtained from this study showed that the vacuum deposition method allowed for obtaining uniform and homogeneous layers. Fine cracks were observed on the MgHApCh composite thin films’ surface after exposure to a 6 Gy irradiation dose. Additionally, after gamma irradiation, a decrease in Ca, P, and Mg content was noticed. The MgHApCh composite thin films with doses of 0 and 3 Gy of gamma irradiation showed a cellular viability similar to that of the control. Samples with 6 Gy doses of gamma irradiation did not cause significantly higher fibroblast cell death than the control (p > 0.05). On the other hand, the homogeneous distribution of pores that appeared on the surface of coatings after 6 Gy doses of gamma irradiation did not prevent the adhesion of fibroblast cells and their spread on the coatings. In conclusion, we could say that the thin films could be suitable both for use in bone implants and for other orthopedic and dentistry applications.
