[PMID: 38670749 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122105] [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: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
In situ forming hydrogels are promising for biomedical applications, especially in drug delivery. The precursor solution can be injected at the target site, where it undergoes a sol-gel transition to afford a hydrogel. In this sense, the most significant characteristic of these hydrogels is fast gelation behavior after injection. This study describes an all-polysaccharide, rapidly in situ-forming hydrogel composed of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCHT) and hydroxyethyl cellulose functionalized with aldehyde groups (HEC-Ald). The HEC-Ald was synthesized through acetal functionalization, followed by acid deprotection. This innovative approach avoids cleavage of pyran rings, as is inherent in the periodate oxidation approach, which is the most common method currently employed for adding aldehyde groups to polysaccharides. The resulting hydrogel exhibited fast stress relaxation, self-healing properties, and pH sensitivity, which allowed it to control the release of an encapsulated model drug in response to the medium pH. Based on the collected data, the HEC-Ald/CMCHT hydrogels show promise as pH-sensitive drug carriers.

Abstract
2D materials (2DMs), such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and black phosphorus (BP), have been proposed for different types of bioapplications, owing to their unique physicochemical, electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. Liquid phase exfoliation (LPE), as one of the most effective up-scalable and size-controllable methods, is becoming the standard process to produce high quantities of various 2DM types as it can benefit from the use of green and biocompatible conditions. The resulting exfoliated layered materials have garnered significant attention because of their biocompatibility and their potential use in biomedicine as new multimodal therapeutics, antimicrobials, and biosensors. This review focuses on the production of LPE-assisted 2DMs in aqueous solutions with or without the aid of surfactants, bioactive, or non-natural molecules, providing insights into the possibilities of applications of such materials in the biological and biomedical fields.

Abstract
Flexible sensors based on MXene-polymer composites are highly prospective for next-generation wearable electronics used in human-machine interfaces. One of the motivating factors behind the progress of flexible sensors is the steady arrival of new conductive materials. MXenes, a new family of 2D nanomaterials, have been drawing attention since the last decade due to their high electronic conductivity, processability, mechanical robustness and chemical tunability. In this review, we encompass the fabrication of MXene-based polymeric nanocomposites, their structure-property relationship, and applications in the flexible sensor domain. Moreover, our discussion is not only limited to sensor design, their mechanism, and various modes of sensing platform, but also their future perspective and market throughout the world. With our article, we intend to fortify the bond between flexible matrices and MXenes thus promoting the swift advancement of flexible MXene-sensors for wearable technologies.

Mucin-mediated mucosal retention via end-terminal modified Pluronic F127-based hydrogel to increase drug accumulation in the lungs. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 156:213722. [PMID: 38101076 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Noninvasive lung drug delivery is critical for treating respiratory diseases. Pluronic-based copolymers have been used as multifunctional materials for medical and biological applications. However, the Pluronic F127-based hydrogel is rapidly degraded, adversely affecting the mechanical stability for prolonged drug release. Therefore, this study designed two thermosensitive copolymers by modifying the Pluronic F127 terminal groups with carboxyl (ADF127) or amine groups (EDF127) to improve the viscosity and storage modulus of drug formulations. β-alanine and ethylenediamine were conjugated at the terminal of Pluronic F127 using a two-step acetylation process, and the final copolymers were characterized using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectra. According to the 1H NMR spectra, Pluronic F127 was functionalized to form ADF127 and EDF127 with 85 % and 71 % functionalization degrees, respectively. Rheological studies revealed that the ADF127 (15 wt%) and EDF127 (15 wt%) viscosities increased from 1480 Pa.s (Pluronic F127) to 1700 Pa.s and 1800 Pa.s, respectively. Furthermore, the elastic modulus of ADF127 and EDF127 increased, compared with that of native Pluronic F127 with the addition of 5 % mucin, particularly for ADF127, thereby signifying the stronger adhesive nature of ADF127 and EDF127 with mucin. Additionally, ADF127 and EDF127 exhibited a decreased gelation temperature, decreasing from 33 °C (Pluronic F127 at 15 wt%) to 24 °C. Notably, the in vitro ADF127 and EDF127 drug release was prolonged (95 %; 48 h) by the hydrogel encapsulation of the liposome-Bdph combined with mucin, and the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the mucin and the hydrogel increased the retention time and stiffness of the hydrogels. Furthermore, ADF127 and EDF127 incubated with NIH-3T3 cells exhibited biocompatibility within 2 mg/mL, compared with Pluronic F127. The nasal administration method was used to examine the biodistribution of the modified hydrogel carrying liposomes or exosomes with fluorescence using the IVIS system. Drug accumulation in the lungs decreased in the following order: ADF127 > EDF127 > liposomes or exosomes alone. These results indicated that the carboxyl group-modified Pluronic F127 enabled well-distributed drug accumulation in the lungs, which is beneficial for intranasal administration routes in treating diseases such as lung fibrosis.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are a class of remarkable materials that have garnered significant attention since their initial discovery. It is noteworthy to mention that it took approximately a decade for these materials to be successfully implemented in practical applications. While QDs have demonstrated notable optical properties, it is important to note that these attributes alone have not rendered them a feasible substitute for traditional organic dyes. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the substance under investigation exhibited inherent toxicity and instability in its initial state, primarily due to the presence of a heavy metal core. In the initial stages of research, it was observed that the integration of nanocomposites had a positive impact on the properties of QDs. The discovery of these nanocomposites was motivated by the remarkable properties exhibited by biocomposites found in nature. Recent discoveries have shed light on the potential utilization of QDs as a viable strategy for drug delivery, offering a promising avenue to enhance the efficacy of current pharmaceuticals and pave the way for the creation of innovative therapeutic approaches. The primary objective of this review was to elucidate the distinctive characteristics that render QDs highly suitable for utilization as nanocarriers. In this study, we will delve into the multifaceted applications of QDs as sensing nanoprobes and their utilization in diverse drug delivery systems. The focus of our investigation was directed toward the utilization of QD/polymer composites in sensing applications, with particular emphasis on their potential as chemical sensors, biosensors, and physical sensors.

Abstract
Plasticized starch (PLS) nanocomposite films using glycerol and reinforced with graphene (G) and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared by solvent casting procedure. On one hand, the influence of adding different G contents into the PLS matrix was analyzed. In order to improve the stability of G nanoflakes in water, Salvia extracts were added as surfactants. The resulting nanocomposites presented improved mechanical properties. A maximum increase of 287 % in Young's modulus and 57 % in tensile strength was achieved for nanocomposites with 5 wt% of G. However, it seemed that Salvia acted as co-plasticizer for the PLS. Moreover, the addition of the highest G content led to an improvement of the electrical conductivity close to 5 × 10-6 S/m compared to the matrix. On the other hand, GO was also incorporated as nanofiller to prepare nanocomposites. Thus, the effect of increasing the GO content in the final behavior of the PLS nanocomposites was evaluated. The characterization of GO containing PLS nanocomposites showed that strong starch/GO interactions and a good dispersion of the nanofiller were achieved. Moreover, the acidic treatment applied for the reduction of the GO was found to be effective, since the electrical conductivity was 150 times bigger than its G containing counterpart.

Abstract
Recently, the design of stimuli-responsive hydrogels for controlled drug delivery systems has been extensively investigated to meet therapeutic needs and optimize the release pattern of the drug. Being a natural polyelectrolyte, hyaluronic acid (HA) is excellent potential to generate new opportunities for electro-responsive drug carrier applications. In the current study, HA-based electroconductive hydrogel was developed as a novel smart drug carrier for anti-inflammatory drug release by the combination of in-situ and post polymerization mechanisms. HA was modified through methacrylation reaction to introduce photocrosslinkable groups into its structure and then reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was encapsulated into methacrylated HA (HA/MA) hydrogel by using the photopolymerization technique. In the post polymerization process, polyaniline (PANI) was incorporated/loaded into HA/MA-rGO polymeric network produced in previous step. The produced HA/MA-rGO-PANI hydrogel exhibited sufficient electrical conductivity providing the desirable electro-responsive ability for Ibuprofen (IBU) release. Furthermore, it has superior mechanical performance compared to pure (HA/MA) and rGO containing (HA/MA-rGO) hydrogels. IBU release from the hydrogel was successfully triggered by electrical stimulation and the cumulative drug release also enhanced by increasing of the applied voltage. These results highlighted that the novel HA/MA-rGO-PANI hydrogel could be a promising candidate for electrical-stimulated anti-inflammatory release systems in neural implant applications.

Abstract
The current work delivers preparation of MXene-based magnetic nanohybrid coating for flexible electronic applications. Herein, we report carbon dot-triggered photopolymerized polynorepinepherene (PNE)-coated MXene and iron oxide hybrid deposited on the cellulose microporous membrane via a vacuum-assisted filtration strategy. The surface morphologies have been monitored by scanning electron microscopy analysis, and the coating thickness was evaluated by the gallium-ion-based focused ion beam method. Coated membranes have been tested against uniaxial tensile stretching and assessed by their fracture edges in order to assure flexibility and mechanical strength. Strain sensors and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding have both been tested on the material because of its electrical conductivity. The bending strain sensitivity has been stringent because of their fast 'rupture and reform' percolation network formation on the coated surface. Increased mechanical strength, solvent tolerance, cyclic deformation tolerance, and EMI shielding performance were achieved by decreasing interstitial membrane porosity. Considering a possible application, the membrane also has been tested against simulated static and dynamic water flow conditions that could infer its excellent robustness which also has been confirmed by elemental analysis via ICP-MS. Thus, as of nurturing the works of the literature, it could be believed that the developed material will be an ideal alternative of flexible lightweight cellulose for versatile electronic applications.

Abstract
Smart hydrogels that are responsive to various external (e.g. electrical and/or thermal) stimulation have become increasingly popular in recent years for simple, rapid, and precise drug delivery that can be controlled and turned on or off with external stimuli. For such a switchable drug delivery material, highly homogeneous dispersion and distribution of the hydrophobic, electrically conductive nanomaterials throughout a hydrophilic three-dimensional (3D) hydrogel network remains a challenge and is essential for achieving well-connected electrical and thermal conducting paths. Herein we developed electrical and thermal stimulus-responsive 3D hydrogels based on (i) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the core unit and an electrical/thermal conductor, (ii) chitosan (Chit) as the shell unit and a hydrophilic dispersant, and (iii) poly(NIPAAm-co-BBVIm) (pNIBBIm) as the drug carrier and a temperature-responsive copolymer. By formulating the CNT-core and Chit-shell units and constructing a CNT sponge framework, uniform distribution and 3D connectivity of the CNTs were improved. The 3D hydrogel based on the CNT sponge, namely the 3D frame CNT-Chit/pNIBBIm hydrogel, delivered approximately 37% of a drug, ketoprofen used for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain, during about 30% shrinkage after electrical and thermal switches on/off and exhibited the best potential for future use in a smart transdermal drug delivery system. The physicochemical, mechanical, electrical, thermal, and biocompatible characteristics of this nanocarbon-based 3D frame hydrogel led to remarkable electrical and thermal stimulus-responsive properties capable of developing an excellent controllable and switchable drug delivery platform for biomedical engineering and medicine applications.

Abstract
This review discusses, in brief, the various synthetic methods of two widely-used nanofillers; phyllosilicate and graphene. Both are 2D fillers introduced into hydrogel matrices to achieve mechanical robustness and water uptake behavior. Both the fillers are inserted by physical and chemical gelation methods where most of the chemical gelation, i.e., covalent approaches, results in better physical properties compared to their physical gels. Physical gels occur due to supramolecular assembly, van der Waals interactions, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic associations, and H-bonding. For chemical gelation, in situ radical triggered gelation mostly occurs.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based hydrogels are particularly attractive materials for biomedical applications. However, their use is restricted due to their brittleness and poor mechanical properties. Here, to overcome such limitations, we report an original, green, simple, and efficient strategy to synthesize a polysaccharide-based hydrogel of chitosan (Cht) and a vinyl-functionalized PVA (PVA-MA), a non-toxic synthetic polymer that is widely known to improve the mechanical properties and stability of materials containing polysaccharides. The hydrogel was crosslinked through an aza-Michael addition among the amino groups of Cht with the vinyl moieties of PVA-MA catalyzed by boric acid (B(OH)3), an eco-friendly inorganic compound. Characterization analyses revealed that the prepared hydrogel has a porous-like morphology, an outstanding liquid uptake capacity (>665%), and improved stability in a physiological fluid for long periods. In summary, this original and simple strategy showed to be efficient in the synthesis of hydrogels with attractive properties for the biomedical field application.

Abstract
Carbon nanotube (CNT) films have demonstrated great potential for highly efficient thermal management materials. However, how to enable a combined feature of excellent thermal conductivity and structural robustness, which is crucial for the high-performance realization, still remains challenging. Herein, an effective and facile strategy to solve the problem was proposed by developing a graphene (G)/CNT film with highly aligned welding of ultrathin G layer to robust CNT film. The unique architectural features of the obtained composite film enabled a high tensile strength (116 MPa) and electric conductivity (1.7 × 103S cm-1). Importantly, the thermal conductivity was significantly improved compared to neat CNT film, and reached as high as 174 W m-1K-1. In addition, the G/CNT film featured a superior electromagnetic shielding performance. This work provides useful guidelines for designing and fabricating the composite CNT film with prominent thermal conductivity, as well as excellent mechanical and electrical properties.

Abstract
Novel versatile hydrogels were designed and composited based on covalent bond and noncovalent bond self-assembly of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) networks and nanohybrids doped with graphene oxide (GO). The structures and properties of the neat PMAA and the prepared PMAA/GO hydrogels were characterized and analyzed in detail, using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, swelling and cationic absorption, etc. The swelling results showed that the water penetration follows the non-Fick transport mechanism based on swelling kinetics and diffusion theory. The swelling capacity of PMAA and composited PMAA/GO hydrogels toward pH, Na+, Ga2+, and Fe3+ was investigated; the swelling ratio was tunable between 4.44 and 36.44. Taking methylene blue as an example, the adsorption capacity of PMAA/GO hydrogels was studied. Nanohybrid doped GO not only self-associated with PMAA via noncovalent bonding interactions and had a tunable swelling ratio, but also interacted with water molecules via electrostatic repulsion, offering a pH response of both the network and dye absorption. Increases in pH caused a rise in equilibrium swelling ratios and reduced the cumulative cationic dye removal.

Abstract
In this work, we combined electrically-conductive graphene oxide and a sodium alginate-caffeic acid conjugate, acting as a functional element, in an acrylate hydrogel network to obtain multifunctional materials designed to perform multiple tasks in biomedical research. The hybrid material was found to be well tolerated by human fibroblast lung cells (MRC-5) (viability higher than 94%) and able to modify its swelling properties upon application of an external electric field. Release experiments performed using lysozyme as the model drug, showed a pH and electro-responsive behavior, with higher release amounts and rated in physiological vs. acidic pH. Finally, the retainment of the antioxidant properties of caffeic acid upon conjugation and polymerization processes (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity values of 1.77 and 1.48, respectively) was used to quench the effect of hydrogen peroxide in a hydrogel-assisted lysozyme crystallization procedure.

Abstract
The synthesis of graphene-based materials has attracted considerable attention in drug delivery strategies. Indeed, the conductivity and mechanical stability of graphene have been investigated for controlled and tunable drug release via electric or mechanical stimuli. However, the design of a thermo-sensitive scaffold using pristine graphene (without distortions related to the oxidation processes) has not been deeply investigated yet, although it may represent a promising approach for several therapeutic treatments. Here, few-layer graphene was used as a nanofiller in a hydrogel system with a thermally tunable drug release profile. In particular, varying the temperature (25 °C, 37 °C and 44 °C), responsive drug releases were noticed and hypothesized depending on the formation and perturbation of π-π interactions involving graphene, the polymeric matrix and the model drug (diclofenac). As a result, these hybrid hydrogels show a potential application as thermally triggered drug release systems in several healthcare scenarios.

Abstract
Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease which is currently treated using various inhalants. However, the medication adherence with the inhalants is poor due to complex procedure to use them along with frequent dosing. In this paper, we have developed tulobuterol loaded Pluronic® F127-reduced graphene oxide transdermal hydrogel to sustain the release of tulobuterol to manage asthma for days. The synthesis of Pluronic® F127-reduced graphene oxide was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The transmission electron microscope showed wrinkled flat nano sheets. The hydrogel showed sufficient mechanical properties for topical application and was safe in the skin irritation study (rabbit model). The ex vivo release data demonstrated the ability of reduced graphene oxide to sustain the release of tulobuterol for 72 h, due to strong π-π interaction between drug and graphene oxide. The pharmacokinetic profile in Sprague-Dawley rat model confirmed the potential of tulobuterol-Pluronic® F127-reduced graphene oxide hydrogel to sustain the release of tulobuterol for effective management of asthma.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogel, with electroconductive properties and high water content in a three-dimensional structure is prepared by incorporating conductive polymers, conductive nanoparticles, or other conductive elements, into hydrogel systems through various strategies. Conductive hydrogel has recently attracted extensive attention in the biomedical field. Using different conductivity strategies, conductive hydrogel can have adjustable physical and biochemical properties that suit different biomedical needs. The conductive hydrogel can serve as a scaffold with high swelling and stimulus responsiveness to support cell growth in vitro and to facilitate wound healing, drug delivery and tissue regeneration in vivo. Conductive hydrogel can also be used to detect biomolecules in the form of biosensors. In this review, we summarize the current design strategies of conductive hydrogel developed for applications in the biomedical field as well as the perspective approach for integration with biofabrication technologies.

Abstract
In this study, a hydrogel impregnated with powder activated carbon (PAC), MAA-PAC, was synthesized through the polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and PB was immobilized using the carboxyl group of AA. In this process, an adsorbent with an enhancement of PB content and stability of immobilization was developed through the additional supply of Fe3+ ions by the layer by layer (LBL) assembly. XRD, FT-IR, SEM (EDS), TEM (EDS, mapping), and TG analyzes of the LBL and non-LBL groups were performed to confirm the change of PB content in the adsorbent as the LBL assembly was applied. The stability of PB immobilization was confirmed during the washing process after the synthesis of the adsorbent. When the LBL assembly process was applied as a PB immobilization strategy, the PB content in the adsorbent was improved and PB leakage was not observed during the washing process. The maximum adsorption (qm) for cesium in the MAA-PAC-PB LBL group that showed high PB content was 40.03 mg/g, and the adsorption isotherm was more suitable for the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model. The LBL group showed a high removal efficiency of 99.81% and a high DF value (525.88) for radioactive cesium (120 Bq/g). These results demonstrate the potential efficiency of the MAA-PAC-PB LBL group for the decontamination of radioactive cesium-contaminated water systems. Furthermore, it was verified that the LBL group of MAA-PAC-PB could be used as an adsorbent without an additional design of the existing water treatment facility. This can an economical decontamination method for removing radioactive cesium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the interaction between the ion-complementary self-assembling peptide RADA16-I and the hydrophobic drug mangiferin (MA), and the potential of the self-assembling peptide to be exploited as a drug carrier of MA. METHODS The RADA16-I-MA suspension was prepared by magnetic stirring, followed by fluorescence spectrophotometry, particle size determination, rheological properties analysis, and in vitro release assay to characterize the interaction between RADA16-I and MA. Then, the effects of in situ MA-loaded hydrogel on the proliferation of KYSE 30 and DLD-1 tumor cells and the toxic effect of the hydrogel on 293T renal epithelial cells were studied by the Cell Counting Kit 8 method. RESULTS The RADA16-I-MA suspension was formed in water under magnetic stirring; the in situ hydrogel was formed when the suspension was added to PBS. The particle size in the RADA16-I-MA suspension was around 300-600 nm with an average size of 492 nm. Within 24 h, the cumulative release of MA from the RADA16-I-MA hydrogel was about 80%. The release rate of MA from the hydrogel was dependent on the concentration of RADA16-I and the release can be fitted with a first-order kinetic equation. The results suggested that the self-assembling peptide can stabilize MA in water to form a relatively stable suspension; the results also indicated that controlled release of MA from the RADA16-I-MA in situ hydrogel formed from the RADA16-I-MA suspension can be achieved by adjusting the concentration of the peptide in suspension. The cell viability studies showed that the RADA16-I-MA in situ hydrogel not only can maintain or enhance the intrinsic proliferation inhibition effects of MA on tumor cells, but also can reduce the toxicity of MA to normal cells. CONCLUSION The self-assembling peptide RADA16-I can be a potential candidate for constructing a delivery system of the hydrophobic drug MA.

Abstract
Collagen II (COLII), the most abundant protein in vertebrates, helps maintain the structural and functional integrity of cartilage. Delivery of COLII from animal sources could improve cartilage regeneration therapies. Here we show that COLII can be purified from the Capra ear cartilage, a commonly available bio-waste product, with a high yield. MALDI-MS/MS analysis evidenced post-translational modifications of the signature triplet, Glycine-Proline-Hydroxyproline (G-P-Hyp), in alpha chain of isolated COLII (COLIIA1). Additionally, thirty-two peptides containing 59 Hyp residues and a few G-X-Y triplets with positional alterations of Hyp in COLIIA1 are also identified. Furthermore, we show that an injectable hydrogel formulation containing the isolated COLII facilitates chondrogenic differentiation towards cartilage regeneration. These findings show that COLII can be isolated from Capra ear cartilage and that positional alteration of Hyp in its structural motif, as detected by newly developed mass spectrometric method, might be an early marker of cartilage disorder.

Abstract
The extensive research of graphene and its derivatives in biomedical applications during the past few years has witnessed its significance in the field of nanomedicine. Starting from simple drug delivery systems, the application of graphene and its derivatives has been extended to a versatile platform of multiple therapeutic modalities, including photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and sonodynamic therapy. In addition to monotherapy, graphene-based materials are widely applied in combined therapies for enhanced anticancer activity and reduced side effects. In particular, graphene-based materials are often designed and fabricated as "smart" platforms for stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, whose therapeutic effects can be activated by the tumor microenvironment, such as acidic pH and elevated glutathione (termed as "endogenous stimuli"), or light, magnetic, or ultrasonic stimuli (termed as "exogenous stimuli"). Herein, the recent advances of smart graphene platforms for combined therapy applications are presented, starting with the principle for the design of graphene-based smart platforms in combined therapy applications. Next, recent advances of combined therapies contributed by graphene-based materials, including chemotherapy-based, photothermal-therapy-based, and ultrasound-therapy-based synergistic therapy, are outlined. In addition, current challenges and future prospects regarding this promising field are discussed.

Abstract
Surface hydrophilicity and scaffold integrity determine the drug release behavior of drug loaded electrospun fibrous mats. When mixture miscibility is acceptable, blend electrospinning of hydrophobic with hydrophilic polymers can improve scaffold hydrophilicity while the hydrophobic polymer maintains the mechanical strength of scaffold. Polycaprolactone (PCL) and Pluronic P123 (P123) blend electrospinning has been investigated. In routine blend electrospinning, surface enrichment of Pluronic sets a limit for P123 weight ratio in which exceeding from that limit causes the excess P123 to be accumulated within the electrospun fiber core. To overcome this setback, a method named surfactant assisted water exposed (SAWE) electrospinning was introduced which was proven to be effective for increasing the surface enrichment of Pluronic. In order to test the validity of this method, the electrospinning of solution containing PCL which is exposed to aqueous solution of P123 was investigated. This new method was named surfactant aqueous solution exposed (SASE) electrospinning. Myelin formation at the contact interface of aqueous solution and chloroform solution was studied and it was found that this layer can effectively barricade the migration of Pluronic chains between immiscible phases. For SASE, fiber surface coverage by P123 was uneven and loose. Electrospun scaffolds from SAWE and SASE were loaded with drug to investigate the effect of the exposure time during electrospinning on in vitro drug release. By increasing the exposure time, the abnormal two-stage phased release profile of SAWE became normal with moderate initial burst. Longer exposure time increased the initial burst of the drug loaded SASE fibers. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 107A: 597-609, 2019.

Abstract
Nanoparticles embedded semi-interpenetrating (semi-IPNs) polymeric hydrogels with enhanced mechanical toughness and biocompatibility could have splendid biomedical acceptance. Here we propose poly(methacrylic acid) grafted polysaccharide based semi-IPNs filled with nanoclay via in situ Michael type reaction associated with covalent crosslinking with N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). The effect of nanoclay in the semi-IPN hydrogel has been investigated which showed significant improvement of mechanical robustness. Meanwhile, the hydrogels showed reversible ductility up to 70% in response to cyclic loading-unloading cycle which is an obvious phenomenon of rubber-like elasticity. The synthesized semi-IPN hydrogel show biodegradability and non-cytotoxic nature against human cells. The live-dead assay showed that the prepared hydrogel is a viable platform for cell growth without causing severe cell death. The in vitro drug release study in psychological pH (pH = 7.4) reveals that the controlled drug release phenomena can be tuned by simulating the environment pH. Such features in a single hydrogel assembly can propose this as high performance; biodegradable and non-cytotoxic 3D scaffold based promising biomaterial for tissue engineering.
