Abstract
The use of nanoparticles has increased significantly over the past few years in a number of fields, including diagnostics, biomedicine, environmental remediation, and water treatment, generating public interest. Among various types of nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as an essential tool for biomedical applications due to their distinct physicochemical properties compared to other nanoparticles. This review article focuses on the recent growth of MNPs and comprehensively reviews the advantages, multifunctional approaches, biomedical applications, and latest research on MNPs employed in various biomedical techniques. Biomedical applications of MNPs hold on to their ability to rapidly switch magnetic states under an external field at room temperature. Ideally, these MNPs should be highly susceptible to magnetization when the field is applied and then lose that magnetization just as quickly once the field is removed. This unique property allows MNPs to generate heat when exposed to high-frequency magnetic fields, making them valuable tools in developing treatments for hyperthermia and other heat-related illnesses. This review underscores the role of MNPs as tools that hold immense promise in transforming various aspects of healthcare, from diagnostics and imaging to therapeutic treatments, with discussion on a wide range of peer-reviewed articles published on the subject. At the conclusion of this work, challenges and potential future advances of MNPs in the biomedical field are highlighted.

Abstract
Because of the complex symptoms resulting from metabolic dysfunction in the wound microenvironment during bacterial infections, along with the necessity to combat free radicals, achieving prompt and thorough wound healing remains a significant medical challenge that has yet to be fully addressed. Moreover, the misuse of common antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, underscoring the need for enhancements in the practical and commonly utilized approach to wound treatment. In this context, hydrogel dressings based on biological macromolecules with antibacterial and antioxidant properties present a promising new avenue for skin wound treatment due to their multifunctional characteristics. Despite the considerable potential of this innovative approach to wound care, comprehensive research on these multifunctional dressings is still insufficient. Consequently, the development of advanced biological macromolecule-based hydrogels, such as chitosan, alginate, cellulose, hyaluronic acid, and others, has been the primary focus of this study. These materials have been enriched with various antibacterial and antioxidant agents to confer multifunctional attributes for wound healing purposes. This review article aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the latest progress in this field, providing a critical theoretical basis for future advancements in the utilization of these advanced biological macromolecule-based hydrogels for wound healing.

Abstract
The demand for underwater pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) is rapidly increasing in fields such as underwater engineering and biomedicine. However, the achievement of underwater adhesion of PSAs remains a challenge because of the hydration layer that hinders the interaction between the adhesive and the substrate. Herein, a new type of underwater PSA was synthesized by the copolymerization of hydrophobic unsaturated poly(1,2-butylene oxide) (UPBO) and hydrophilic itaconic acid monomers using solvent-free ultraviolet curing. The PSA has demonstrated substrate-independent underwater adhesion strengths ranging from 108 to 141 kPa on both hydrophilic (glass, wood, steel) and hydrophobic (PET, PMMA, PTFE) substrates. The underwater adhesion performance of PSA remains stable during 30 adhesion-detachment cycles and incubation in water for 20 days. Notably, PSA shows cytocompatibility, antimicrobial, and degradable properties and can be used for rapid hemostasis of skin wounds. Experimental characterizations confirm that the process of underwater adhesion is achieved by hydrophobic alkyl side chains of the PBO chain segments, which repel water at the adhesive-substrate interface. This study should provide both practical and facile design strategies for multifunctional underwater PSAs that can be used in a variety of applications.

Abstract
The current research work focuses on preparing the polycaprolactone (PCL) based nanocomposite films embedded with surface modified Halloysite Nanotube (HNT). The avenue of the study is to unravel the applicability of polymer nanocomposites for wound healing. The flexible property of HNT was taken as the major force to accomplish the addition of biopolymer pectin onto its surface. Functionalization of HNT with pectin has certainly enhanced its binding nature with the polymer. The PCL nanocomposite films were characterized by several promising techniques such as FTIR, XRD, DSC-TGA, FESEM, TEM, AFM, and mechanical properties were too examined along. When compared to the plane PCL film, the nanocomposite films manifested favorable results in terms of mechanical and chemical properties. Additionally, biometric studies such as in-vitro swelling, enzymatic degradation, and hemolysis performed on the films gave extremely good results. The haemolytic percentage recorded for the films exhibited a steady decrease with increasing amount of nanofillers. The MTT assay showed cell proliferation and its increase as the embedded HNT is more in the matrix. Wound closure study performed on NIH3T3 cell line with 1, 3 and 5wt% of films has given a strong proof for the involvement of polymer and HNT in the healing procedure.

Abstract
Hydrogel wound dressings play a crucial role in promoting the healing of drug-resistant bacterially infected wounds. However, their clinical application often faces challenges such as the use of numerous components, a complicated preparation process, and insufficient biological activity. Itaconic acid, known for its excellent biological and reaction activities, has not been extensively studied for the preparation of itaconic acid-based hydrogels and their application in infected wound healing. Therefore, there is a need to develop a multifunctional single-component itaconic acid-based hydrogel that is easy to synthesize and holds promising prospects for clinical use in promoting the healing of infected wounds. In this study, we present a single-component polyitaconate-based hydrogel (PICGI) with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and biological activity. The PICGI hydrogel demonstrates great potential in promoting healing of infected wounds and skin regeneration. It exhibits desirable thermosensitive, injectable, and adhesive properties, as well as broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, the PICGI hydrogel is biocompatible and significantly enhances the migration and tube formation of endothelial cells. In the case of drug-resistant bacterially infected wounds, the PICGI hydrogel effectively inhibits bacterial infection and inflammation, promotes angiogenesis, and facilitates collagen deposition, thereby accelerating the healing and regeneration of the skin. This study highlights the promising application of the PICGI hydrogel as a single-component hydrogel in tissue repair associated with bacterial infection and inflammation. Moreover, the simplicity of its components, convenient preparation process, and sufficient biological activity make the PICGI hydrogel highly suitable for promotion and clinical application.

Abstract
Starch-based hydrogels have gained significant attention in biomedical applications as a type of drug delivery system due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to absorb and release drugs. Starch-based hydrogels can serve as effective carriers for pharmaceutical compounds such as drugs and proteins to develop drug-loaded hydrogel systems, providing controlled release over an extended period. The porous structure of a hydrogel allows for the diffusion of drugs, ensuring sustained and localized delivery to the target site. Moreover, starch-based hydrogels have been used as a powerful option in various biomedical fields, including cancer and infectious disease treatment. In addition, starch-based hydrogels have shown promise in tissue engineering applications since hydrogels can be used as scaffolds or matrices to support cell growth and tissue regeneration. Depending on techniques such as chemical crosslinking or physical gelation, it can create a three-dimensional network structure that tunes its mechanical properties and mimics the extracellular matrix. Starch-based hydrogels can also provide a supportive environment for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation to promote specific cellular responses and tissue regeneration processes with the loading of growth factors, cytokines, or other bioactive molecules. In this review, starch-based hydrogels as a versatile platform for various biomedical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Numerous innovative advancements in dressing technology for wound healing have emerged. Among the various types of wound dressings available, hydrogel dressings, structured with a three-dimensional network and composed of predominantly hydrophilic components, are widely used for wound care due to their remarkable capacity to absorb abundant wound exudate, maintain a moisture environment, provide soothing and cooling effects, and mimic the extracellular matrix. Composite hydrogel dressings, one of the evolved dressings, address the limitations of traditional hydrogel dressings by incorporating additional components, including particles, fibers, fabrics, or foams, within the hydrogels, effectively promoting wound treatment and healing. The added elements enhance the features or add specific functionalities of the dressings, such as sensitivity to external factors, adhesiveness, mechanical strength, control over the release of therapeutic agents, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and tissue regeneration behavior. They can be categorized as natural or synthetic based on the origin of the main components of the hydrogel network. This review focuses on recent research on developing natural polysaccharide-based composite hydrogel wound dressings. It explores their preparation and composition, the reinforcement materials integrated into hydrogels, and therapeutic agents. Furthermore, it discusses their features and the specific types of wounds where applied.

Abstract
The synthesis of graphene-based materials for drug delivery represents an area of active research, and the use of graphene in drug delivery systems is promising due to its unique properties. Thus, in the present work, we discuss the potential of few-layer graphene in a hydrogel system for dopamine release. The hydrogels are frequently used for these systems for their special physico-chemical properties, which can ensure that the drug is effectively released in time. However, the release from such structures is mostly determined by diffusion alone, and to overcome this restriction, the hydrogel can be "improved" with nanoscale fillers like graphene. The release kinetics of the composite obtained were analyzed to better understand how the use of graphene, instead of the more common graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), affects the characteristics of the system. Thus, the systems developed in this study consist of three main components: biopolymer, graphene, and dopamine. The hydrogels with graphene were prepared by combining two different solutions, one with polyacrylic acid and agarose and one with graphene prepared by the exfoliation method with microwave irradiation. The drug delivery systems were developed by adding dopamine to the obtained hydrogels. After 24 h of release, the presence of dopamine was observed, demonstrating that the system developed can slow down the drug's degradation because of the interactions with the graphene nanoplates and the polymer matrix.

Abstract
Wound management represents a well-known continuous challenge and concern of the global healthcare systems worldwide. The challenge is on the one hand related to the accurate diagnosis, and on the other hand to establishing an effective treatment plan and choosing appropriate wound care products in order to maximize the healing outcome and minimize the financial cost. The market of wound dressings is a dynamic field which grows and evolves continuously as a result of extensive research on developing versatile formulations with innovative properties. Hydrogels are one of the most attractive wound care products which, in many aspects, are considered ideal for wound treatment and are widely exploited for extension of their advantages in healing process. Smart hydrogels (SHs) offer the opportunities of the modulation physico-chemical properties of hydrogels in response to external stimuli (light, pressure, pH variations, magnetic/electric field, etc.) in order to achieve innovative behavior of their three-dimensional matrix (gel-sol transitions, self-healing and self-adapting abilities, controlled release of drugs). The SHs response to different triggers depends on their composition, cross-linking method, and manufacturing process approach. Both native or functionalized natural and synthetic polymers may be used to develop stimuli-responsive matrices, while the mandatory characteristics of hydrogels (biocompatibility, water permeability, bioadhesion) are preserved. In this review, we briefly present the physiopathology and healing mechanisms of chronic wounds, as well as current therapeutic approaches. The rational of using traditional hydrogels and SHs in wound healing, as well as the current research directions for developing SHs with innovative features, are addressed and discussed along with their limitations and perspectives in industrial-scale manufacturing.

Pourtalebi Jahromi L, Rothammer M, Fuhrmann G. Polysaccharide hydrogel platforms as suitable carriers of liposomes and extracellular vesicles for dermal applications. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2023; 200:115028.

Abstract
Lipid-based nanocarriers have been extensively investigated for their application in drug delivery. Particularly, liposomes are now clinically established for treating various diseases such as fungal infections. In contrast, extracellular vesicles (EVs) - small cell-derived nanoparticles involved in cellular communication - have just recently sparked interest as drug carriers but their development is still at the preclinical level. To drive this development further, the methods and technologies exploited in the context of liposome research should be applied in the domain of EVs to facilitate and accelerate their clinical translation. One of the crucial steps for EV-based therapeutics is designing them as proper dosage forms for specific applications. This review offers a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art polysaccharide-based hydrogel platforms designed for artificial and natural vesicles with application in drug delivery to the skin. We discuss their various physicochemical and biological properties and try to create a sound basis for the optimization of EV-embedded hydrogels as versatile therapeutic avenues.

Carboxymethyl cellulose/starch/reduced graphene oxide composite as a pH-sensitive nanocarrier for curcumin drug delivery. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 241:124566.

Abstract
Nanocomposites are promising drug carriers to treat terminal cancers with few adverse effects. Herein, nanocomposite hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/starch/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were synthesized via a green chemistry approach and then encapsulated in double nanoemulsions to act as pH-responsive delivery systems for curcumin, a potential antitumor drug. A water/oil/water nanoemulsion containing bitter almond oil served as a membrane surrounding the nanocarrier to control drug release. DLS and zeta potential measurements were used to estimate the size and confirm the stability of curcumin-loaded nanocarriers. The intermolecular interactions, crystalline structure and morphology of the nanocarriers were analyzed through FTIR spectroscopy, XRD and FESEM, respectively. The drug loading and entrapment efficiencies were significantly improved compared to previously reported curcumin delivery systems. In vitro release experiments demonstrated the pH-responsiveness of the nanocarriers and the faster curcumin release at a lower pH. The MTT assay revealed the increased toxicity of the nanocomposites against MCF-7 cancer cells compared to CMC, CMC/RGO or free curcumin. Apoptosis was detected in MCF-7 cells via flow cytometry tests. The results obtained herein support that the developed nanocarriers are stable, uniform and effective delivery systems for a sustained and pH-sensitive curcumin release.

A pH-sensitive hydrogel based on carboxymethylated konjac glucomannan crosslinked by sodium trimetaphosphate: Synthesis, characterization, swelling behavior and controlled drug release. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 232:123392. [PMID: 36702219 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123392] [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: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
The pH-sensitive hydrogel consisting of carboxymethylated konjac glucomannan (CMKGM) and sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) was prepared for a potential intestinal targeted delivery system. Both the CMKGM and the CMKGM hydrogel were characterized by FT-IR spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The Congo red and atomic force microscope (AFM) results showed a coil-to-helix transition of CMKGM in alkaline conditions with the degree of substitution (DS) increased from 0.20 to 0.49. Rheological measurements indicated that the DS and the STMP content collectively influence the mechanical stiffness and swelling properties of the obtained hydrogels. In addition, the swelling behavior of the hydrogels revealed that they were sensitive to pH value changes and were following a Korsmeyer-Peppas gastrointestinal release behavior, indicating that the release was controlled by non-Fickian diffusion. Furthermore, all the results suggested that the prepared pH-sensitive hydrogel may serve as a potential biomaterial for the intestine-targeted delivery system.

Abstract
Physiologic pH is vital for the normal functioning of tissues and varies in different parts of the body. The varying pH of the body has been exploited to design pH-sensitive smart oral, transdermal and vaginal drug delivery systems (DDS). The DDS demonstrated promising results in hard-to-treat diseases such as cancer and Helicobacter pylori infection. In some cases, a change in pH of tissues or body fluids has also been employed as a useful diagnostic biomarker. This paper aims to comprehensively review the development and applications of pH-sensitive DDS as well as recent advances in the field.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been utilized extensively in the field of cutaneous wound treatment. The introduction of nanomaterials (NMs), which are a big category of materials with diverse functionalities, can endow the hydrogels with additional and multiple functions to meet the demand for a comprehensive performance in wound dressings. Therefore, NMs-functionalized hydrogels (NMFHs) as wound dressings have drawn intensive attention recently. Herein, an overview of reports about NMFHs for the treatment of cutaneous wounds in the past five years is provided. Firstly, fabrication strategies, which are mainly divided into physical embedding and chemical synthesis of the NMFHs, are summarized and illustrated. Then, functions of the NMFHs brought by the NMs are reviewed, including hemostasis, antimicrobial activity, conductivity, regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and stimulus responsiveness (pH responsiveness, photo-responsiveness, and magnetic responsiveness). Finally, current challenges and future perspectives in this field are discussed with the hope of inspiring additional ideas.

Abstract
In recent years, the demand for environmental sustainability has caused a great interest in finding novel polymer materials from natural resources that are both biodegradable and eco-friendly. Natural biodegradable polymers can displace the usage of petroleum-based synthetic polymers due to their renewability, low toxicity, low costs, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The development of novel starch-based bionanocomposites with improved properties has drawn specific attention recently in many applications, including food, agriculture, packaging, environmental remediation, textile, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biomedical fields. This paper discusses starch-based nanocomposites, mainly with nanocellulose, chitin nanoparticles, nanoclay, and carbon-based materials, and their applications in the agriculture, packaging, biomedical, and environment fields. This paper also focused on the lifecycle analysis and degradation of various starch-based nanocomposites.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have solved numerous problems related to the repair and regeneration of damaged organs and tissues arising from aging, illnesses, and injuries. Nanotechnology has further aided tissue regeneration science and has provided outstanding opportunities to help disease diagnosis as well as treat damaged tissues. Based on the most recent findings, magnetic nanostructures (MNSs), in particular, have emerged as promising materials for detecting, directing, and supporting tissue regeneration. There have been many reports concerning the role of these nano-building blocks in the regeneration of both soft and hard tissues, but the subject has not been extensively reviewed. Here, we review, classify, and discuss various synthesis strategies for novel MNSs used in medicine. Advanced applications of magnetic nanocomposites (MG-NCs), specifically magnetic nanostructures, are further systematically reviewed. In addition, the scientific and technical aspects of MG-NC used in medicine are discussed considering the requirements for the field. In summary, this review highlights the numerous opportunities and challenges associated with the use of MG-NCs as smart nanocomposites (NCs) in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
In this work, the magnetic α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterogeneous nanotubes were successfully prepared by solvent hydrothermal-controlled calcination method. The effects of additive concentration, hydrothermal temperature and time on morphology of products were investigated. The α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 nanotubes with a saturation magnetization of 50 emu/g were prepared calcinated at 600 °C for 4 h using 0.8 g of glucose. Their average length, the outer and inner diameters were around 240 nm, 178 nm and 145 nm, respectively. The α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterogeneous nanotubes coated with water-soluble liposome were applied for targeted delivery of curcumin. The release of curcumin inside the hollow structure of the nanocomposites could be triggered and effectively sustained represented a process of slow release. The encapsulation efficiency of curcumin in the α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4-CUR@LIP nanocomposites reached 82.1 ± 0.9%. MTT assays demonstrated that blank carriers had excellent biocompatibility and application of magnetic field significantly elevated the cytotoxicity of α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4-CUR@LIP nanocomposites on MCF-7 cell. Electrochemical experiment and Prussian blue staining indicated that the α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4@LIP nanocomposites could aggregate in cells to promote the internalization of curcumin. Magnetic α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4-CUR@LIP nanocomposites and curcumin enhanced the expression of reactive oxygen species in MCF-7 cells and induced apoptosis by fluorescence detection. Flow cytometry and western blot verified that the α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4@LIP nanocomposites under magnetic field enhanced cells late-apoptosis by adjusting the expression of apoptosis-related proteins.

Abstract
The development of materials based on thermoplastic starch (TPS) is an excellent alternative to replace or reduce the use of petroleum-derived polymers. The abundance, renewable origin, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and low cost of starch are among the advantages related to the application of TPS compared to other thermoplastic biopolymers. However, through the literature review, it was possible to observe the need to improve some properties, to allow TPS to replace commonly used polyolefins. The studies reviewed achieved these modifications were achieved by using plasticizers, adjusting processing conditions, and incorporating fillers. In this sense, the addition of nanofillers proved to be the main modification strategy due to the large number of available nanofillers and the low charge concentration required for such improvement. The improvement can be seen in thermal, mechanical, electrical, optical, magnetic, antimicrobial, barrier, biocompatibility, cytotoxicity, solubility, and swelling properties. These modification strategies, the reviewed studies described the development of a wide range of materials. These are products with great potential for targeting different applications. Thus, this review addresses a wide range of essential aspects in developing of this type of nanocomposite. Covering from starch sources, processing routes, characterization methods, the properties of the obtained nanocomposites, to the various applications. Therefore, this review will provide an overview for everyone interested in working with TPS nanocomposites.

Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 146:112492. [PMID: 34906768 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2021] [Revised: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The emergence of clinical complications and therapeutic challenges for treating various diseases necessitate the discovery of novel restorative functional materials. Polymer-based drug delivery systems have been extensively reported in the last two decades. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the progression of natural biopolymers based controlled therapeutic strategies, especially in drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. However, the solubility and functionalisation due to their complex network structure and intramolecular bonding seem challenging. This review explores the current advancement and prospects of the most promising natural polymers such as cellulose, starch and their derivatives-based drug delivery vehicles like hydrogels, films and composites, in combating major ailments such as bone infections, microbial infections, and cancers. In addition, selective drug targeting using metal-drug (MD) and MD-based polymeric missiles have been exciting but challenging for its application in cancer therapeutics. Owing to high biocompatibility of starch and cellulose, these materials have been extensively evaluated in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. This review presents a detailed impression of the current trends for the construction of biopolymer-based tissue engineering, drug/gene/protein delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Recently, there has been great interest in the application of polysaccharides in the preparation of diverse biomaterials which result from their biocompatibility, biodegradability and biological activity. In this work, the investigations on chitosan/poly(aspartic acid)-based hydrogels modified with starch were described. Firstly, a series of hydrogel matrices was prepared and investigated to characterize their swelling properties, structure via FT-IR spectroscopy, elasticity and tensile strength using the Brookfield texture analyzer as well as their impact on simulated physiological liquids. Hydrogels consisting of chitosan and poly(aspartic acid) in a 2:1 volume ratio were elastic (9% elongation), did not degrade after 30-day incubation in simulated physiological liquids, exhibited a relative biocompatibility towards these liquids and similar swelling in each absorbed medium. This hydrogel matrix was modified with starch wherein two of its form were applied-a solution obtained at an elevated temperature and a suspension obtained at room temperature. Hydrogels modified with hot starch solution showed higher sorption that unmodified materials. This was probably due to the higher starch inclusion (i.e., a larger number of hydrophilic groups able to interact with the adsorbed liquid) when this polysaccharide was given in the form of a hot solution. Hydrogels modified with a cold starch suspension had visible heterogeneous inequalities on their surfaces and this modification led to the obtainment materials with unrepeatable structures which made the analysis of their properties difficult and may have led to misleading conclusions.

Abstract
Smart hydrogels which can respond to external stimuli have been widely focused with increasing interest. Thereinto, magnetic-responsive hydrogels that are prepared by embedding magnetic nanomaterials into hydrogel networks are more advantageous in biomedical applications due to their rapid magnetic response, precisely temporal and spatial control and non-invasively remote actuation. Upon the application of an external magnetic field, magnetic hydrogels can be actuated to perform multiple response modes such as locomotion, deformation and thermogenesis for therapeutic purposes without the limit of tissue penetration depth. This review summarizes the latest advances of magnetic-responsive hydrogels with focus on biomedical applications. The synthetic methods of magnetic hydrogels are firstly introduced. Then, the roles of different response modes of magnetic hydrogels played in different biomedical applications are emphatically discussed in detail. In the end, the current limitations and future perspectives for magnetic hydrogels are given.

A pH-sensitive semi-interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels constructed by konjac glucomannan and poly (γ-glutamic acid): Synthesis, characterization and swelling behavior. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 185:229-239.

Abstract
A novel pH-sensitive semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogel was prepared by using konjac glucomannan (KGM) and poly (γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) with sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) as the crosslinking agent. The structure of the semi-IPN hydrogels was characterized by FTIR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), rheological measurements, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The pH-sensitive effects were investigated by calculating the equilibrium swelling ratio (ESR) in buffer solutions (pH 2, 4, 6, and 8, respectively) at 37 °C. These results showed that the content of cross-linker and γ-PGA has a significant influence on the hydrogels' structure and swelling behavior. In vitro drug release behavior of semi-IPN hydrogels was investigated under simulated gastric and intestinal fluids using model drug Nicotinamide (NTM), and various models were applied to describe the drug release behaviors. The obtained results indicated that our synthesized semi-IPN hydrogel had the potential to be used as a suitable biomaterial carrier for functional components or drug delivery in the intestine.
