Citric acid cross-linked pomegranate peel extract-loaded pH-responsive β-cyclodextrin/carboxymethyl tapioca starch hydrogel film for diabetic wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133366. [PMID: 38914385 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133366] [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: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
Pomegranate peel extract (PPE) hydrogel films filled with citric acid (CA) and β-cyclodextrin-carboxymethyl tapioca starch (CMS) were designed mainly to prevent wound infections and speed up the healing process. FTIR and NMR studies corroborated the carboxymethylation of neat tapioca starch (NS). CMS exhibited superior swelling behavior than NS. The amount of CA and β-CD controlled the physicochemical parameters of developed PPE/CA/β-CD/CMS films. Optimized film (OF) exhibited acceptable swellability, wound fluid absorptivity, water vapor transmission rate, water contact angle, and mechanical properties. Biodegradable, biocompatible, and antibacterial films exhibited pH dependence in the release of ellagic acid for up to 24 h. In mice model, PPE/CA/β-CD/CMS hydrogel film treatment showed promising wound healing effects, including increased collagen deposition, reduced inflammation, activation of the Wingless-related integration site (wnt) pathway leading to cell division, proliferation, and migration to the wound site. The expression of the WNT3A gene did not show any significant differences among all the studied groups. Developed PPE-loaded CA/β-CD/CMS film promoted wound healing by epithelialization, granulation tissue thickness, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis, hence could be recommended as a biodegradable and antibacterial hydrogel platform to improve the cell proliferation during the healing of diabetic wounds.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:22665-22675. [PMID: 39027039 PMCID: PMC11255561 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03387f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Graphene is prized for its large surface area and superior electrical properties. Efforts to maximize the electrical conductivity of graphene commonly result in the recovery of sp2-hybridized carbon in the form of reduced graphene oxide (rGO). However, rGO shows poor dispersibility and aggregation when mixed with other materials without hydrophilic functional groups, This could lead to electrode delamination, agglomeration, and reduced efficiency. This study focuses on the impact of solvothermal reduction on the dispersibility and capacitance of rGO compared with chemical reduction. The results show that the dispersibility of rGO-D obtained through solvothermal reduction using N,N-dimethylformamide improved compared to that obtained through chemical reduction (rGO-H). Furthermore, when utilized as a material for CDI, an improvement in deionization efficiency was observed in the AC@rGO-D-based CDI system compared to AC@rGO-H and AC. However, the specific surface area, a key factor affecting CDI efficiency, was higher in rGO-H (249.572 m2 g-1) than in rGO-D (150.661 m2 g-1). While AC@rGO-H is expected to exhibit higher deionization efficiency due to its greater specific surface area, the opposite was observed. This highlights the effect of the improved dispersibility of rGO-D and underscores its potential as a valuable material for CDI applications.

Abstract
Burns can result in infection, disability, psychosocial and economic issues. Advanced wound dressings like hydrogel absorb exudate and maintain moisture. Considering the antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles and iron oxide nanoparticles, the efficiency of cross-linked hydrogel loaded with chitosan-supported iron oxide and silver nanoparticles for burn wounds repair was investigated in animal model. Cellulose hydrogel dressing made from carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxyethylcellulose crosslinked with different concentrations of citric acid (10, 15, 20, and 30%) was produced. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthetized hydrogels including Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Thermal behavior, Swelling properties, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were evaluated. The silver nanoparticles and iron nanoparticles were produced and the characteristics, cytotoxicity, antimicrobial activities and their synergistic effect were investigated. After adding nanoparticles to hydrogels, the effects of the prepared wound dressings were investigated in a 14-day animal model of burn wound. The results showed that the mixture comprising 12.5 ppm AgNps, and IONPs at a concentration ≤100 ppm was non-cytotoxic. Moreover, the formulations with 20% CA had a swelling ratio of almost 250, 340, and 500 g/g at pHs of 5, 6.2, and 7.4 after one hour, which are lower than those of formulations with 5 and 10% CA. The total mass loss (59.31%) and the exothermic degradation happened in the range of 273-335 °C and its Tm was observed at 318.52 °C for hydrogels with 20% CA. Thus, the dressing comprising 20% CA which was loaded with 12.5 ppm silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and 100 ppm iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) indicated better physicochemical, microbial and non-cytotoxic characteristics, and accelerated the process of wound healing after 14 days. It was concluded that the crosslinked hydrogel loaded with 12.5 ppm AgNPs and 100 ppm IONPs possesses great wound healing activity and could be regarded as an effective topical burn wound healing treatment.

Abstract
Localized heat generation from manganese iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs) conjugated with chemotherapeutics under the exposure of an alternating magnetic field (magneto-chemotherapy) can revolutionize targeted breast cancer therapy. On the other hand, the lack of precise control of local temperature and adequate MIONP distribution in laboratory settings using the conventional two-dimensional (2D) cellular models has limited its further translation in tumor sites. Our current study explored advanced 3D in vitro tumor models as a promising alternative to replicate the complete range of tumor characteristics. Specifically, we have focused on investigating the effectiveness of MIONP-based magneto-chemotherapy (MCT) as an anticancer treatment in a 3D breast cancer model. To achieve this, chitosan-coated MIONPs (CS-MIONPs) are synthesized and functionalized with an anticancer drug (doxorubicin) and a tumor-targeting aptamer (AS1411). CS-MIONPs with a crystallite size of 16.88 nm and a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 181.48 W g-1 are reported. In vitro assessment of MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines in 2D and 3D cell cultures demonstrated anticancer activity. In the 2D and 3D cancer models, the MIONP-mediated MCT reduced cancer cell viability to about 71.48% and 92.2%, respectively. On the other hand, MIONP-mediated MCT under an AC magnetic field diminished spheroids' viability to 83.76 ± 2%, being the most promising therapeutic modality against breast cancer.

Abstract
Wound dressing with an improved structural and functional recapitulation of damaged organs, efficient self-healing and antibacterial properties that can well integrate with tissue are urgently needed in wound management. Supramolecular hydrogels confer control over structural properties in a reversible, dynamic and biomimetic fashion. Herein, a kind of injectable, self-healing and antibacterial supramolecular hydrogel with multi-responses were fabricated by mixing phenylazo-terminated Pluronic F127, quaternized chitosan-graft-cyclodextrin and polydopamine coated tunicate cellulose nanocrystals under physiological conditions. By exploiting the photoisomerization of azobenzene under different wavelengths, a supramolecular hydrogel featuring a changing crosslink density of network was obtained. The corporation of polydopamine coated tunicate cellulose nanocrystals strengthens the hydrogel network with Schiff base bonds and hydrogen bonds, which avoids complete gel-sol transition. The inherent antibacterial property, drug release behavior, self-healing ability, hemostatic performance and biocompatibility were investigated to confirm superiority in wound healing. Moreover, the curcumin loaded hydrogel (Cur-hydrogel) showed multi-responsive release profiles (light, pH, and temperature). A full-thickness skin defect model was built to confirm that Cur-hydrogels significantly accelerated wound healing rate with better granulation tissue thickness and collagen disposition. Overall, the novel photo-responsive hydrogel with coherent antibacterial property has great potential in the healthcare of wound healing.

Abstract
Hydrogels, with 3D hydrophilic polymer networks and excellent biocompatibilities, have emerged as promising biomaterial candidates to mimic the structure and properties of biological tissues. The incorporation of nanomaterials into a hydrogel matrix can tailor the functions of the nanocomposite hydrogels to meet the requirements for different biomedical applications. However, most nanomaterials show poor dispersion in water, which limits their integration into the hydrophilic hydrogel network. Mussel-inspired chemistry provides a mild and biocompatible approach in material surface engineering due to the high reactivity and universal adhesive property of catechol groups. In order to attract more attention to mussel-inspired nanocomposite hydrogels, and to promote the research work on mussel-inspired nanocomposite hydrogels, we have reviewed the recent advances in the preparation of mussel-inspired nanocomposite hydrogels using a variety of nanomaterials with different forms (nanoparticles, nanorods, nanofibers, nanosheets). We give an overview of each nanomaterial modified or hybridized by catechol or polyphenol groups based on mussel-inspired chemistry, and the performances of the nanocomposite hydrogel after the nanomaterial's incorporation. We also highlight the use of each nanocomposite hydrogel for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, bioelectronics, wearable/implantable biosensors, tumor therapy, and tissue repair. Finally, the challenges and future research direction in designing mussel-inspired nanocomposite hydrogels are discussed.

Abstract
There are many challenges faced the soft tissue adhesives in the medical application field. For example, there is a limited effective binding between the medical adhesive and different types of soft tissues. Chitosan (CS) and dopamine (DA) were used as structural units for synthesizing nanocomposites utilized as a wet tissue adhesive. To produce dopamine-chitosan-iron oxide nanocomposites (DA-CS-Fe3O4 NCs), DA was loaded onto chitosan-iron oxide nanocomposites. The nanocomposites have been prepared using ionic gelation method under vigorous homogenization and characterized by different techniques. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) have shown that DA-CS- Fe3O4 NCs could attach to the tissue through two possible functional groups, namely, the catechol and amine groups. The results of in vitro scratch wound-healing assay suggested that the prepared DA-CS- Fe3O4 NCs facilitate cell migration (the wound-closure percentage reached 96% at 72 h). All experimental results confirm that DA-CS- Fe3O4 NCs are strongly recommended for use as a soft medical tissue adhesive in wound healing and surgeries such as vascular surgery. In addition, the results of the whole blood clotting, antibacterial assessment, live and dead assay, cytotoxicity test, and wound-healing assay indicate that DA-CS-Fe3O4 NCs can be used as a multifunctional biomedical adhesive.

Abstract
Bacterial infections can threaten human health. Drug-resistant bacteria have become a challenge because of the excessive use of drugs. We summarize the current metallic antibacterial materials, especially Fe-based materials, for efficiently killing bacteria. The possible antibacterial mechanisms of metallic antibacterial agents are classified into interactions with bacterial proteins, iron metabolism, catalytic activity, and combinations of magnetic, photodynamic, and photothermal effects. This review will inspire the development of novel Fe-based antibacterial agents for clinical settings.

Abstract
Petroleum industry wastewater contains high level of crude oil and other types of organic substances that can cause immense harm to the agriculture, aquatic as well as terrestrial organisms. Organic solvent resistance of membranes is very important to treat such wastewater that contains high level of organic pollutants. This work reports the designing of a superhydrophilic and organic solvent resistant nanocomposite membrane using waste bottles made of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and cellulosic papers. Using in-situ synthesized cellulose nanofibers we could successfully fabricate porous membranes which is not possible for bare PET matrix using water as nonsolvent. Thus, we could successfully replace methanol which was used as a suitable non-solvent in earlier reports by distilled water. We successfully used the membrane for separation of synthetic crude oil-water emulsion. The membrane showed permeability up to 98 Lm-2h-1 applying pressure of 1.5 bar. The membrane also achieved removal of more than 97 % of organic substances from a crude oil-water emulsion system. The optimum membrane also showed good thermal stability with initial degradation temperature ∼350 °C and tensile strength of 0.86 MPa. The antimicrobial property of the nanocomposite membranes could be achieved by coating its surface with carbon dots rooted graphene oxide.

[PMID: 36614090 PMCID: PMC9820399 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 12/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
It has become more widely available to use biopolymer-based films as alternatives to conventional plastic-based films due to their non-toxic properties, flexibility, and affordability. However, they are limited in application due to deficiencies in their properties. The marine collagen was the specimen for the present study. Thus, the main objective was to reinforce marine collagen-based films with 1.0% (w/w of the dry polymer weight) of iron oxide nanoparticles (IO-NPs), graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO-NPs), or a combination of both oxides (GO-NPs/IO-NPs) as antibacterial and antioxidant additives to overcome some of the limitations of the film. In this way, the nanoparticles were incorporated into the film-forming solution (2% w/v in acetic acid, 0.05 M) and processed by casting. Thereafter, the films were dried and analyzed for their physicochemical, mechanical, microstructural, and functional properties. The results show that the effective combination of GO-NPs/IO-NPs enhanced the physicochemical properties by increasing the water contact angle (WCA) of the films from 77.2 to 84.4° and their transparency (T) from 0.5 to 5.2. Furthermore, these nanoparticles added antioxidant and antibacterial value to the films, with free radical inhibition of up to 95.8% and 23.8 mm of bacteria growth inhibition (diameter). As a result, both types of nanoparticles are proposed as suitable additives to be incorporated into films and enhance their different properties.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of the iron oxide nanoparticles was done using Ixoro coccinea leaf extract, followed by the fabrication of iron oxide nanobiocomposites (I-Fe3O4-NBC) using chitosan biopolymer. Furthermore, the synthesized I-Fe3O4-NPs and I-Fe3O4-NBC were characterized, and I-Fe3O4-NBC was applied to remove toxic metals (TMs: Cd, Ni, and Pb) from water. The characterization study confirmed that the nanostructure, porous, rough, crystalline structure, and different functional groups of chitosan and I-Fe3O4-NPs in I-Fe3O4-NBCs showed their feasibility for the application as excellent adsorbents for quantitative removal of TMs. The batch mode strategy as feasibility testing was done to optimize different adsorption parameters (pH, concentrations of TMs, dose of I-Fe3O4-NBC, contact time, and temperature) for maximum removal of TMs from water by Fe3O4-NBC. The maximum adsorption capacities using nanocomposites for Cd, Ni, and Pb were 66.0, 60.0, and 66.4 mg g-1, respectively. The adsorption process follows the Freundlich isotherm model by I-Fe3O4-NBC to remove Cd and Ni, while the Pb may be adsorption followed by multilayer surface coverage. The proposed adsorption process was best fitted to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics and showed an exothermic, favorable, and spontaneous nature. In addition, the I-Fe3O4-NBC was applied to adsorption TMs from surface water (%recovery > 95%). Thus, it can be concluded that the proposed nanocomposite is most efficient in removing TMs from drinking water up to recommended permissible limit.

Abstract
Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are becoming a serious threat to public health worldwide. With an ever-reducing pipeline of last-resort drugs further complicating the current dire situation arising due to antibiotic resistance, there has never been a greater urgency to attempt to discover potential new antibiotics. The use of nanotechnology, encompassing a broad range of organic and inorganic nanomaterials, offers promising solutions. Organic nanomaterials, including lipid-, polymer-, and carbon-based nanomaterials, have inherent antibacterial activity or can act as nanocarriers in delivering antibacterial agents. Nanocarriers, owing to the protection and enhanced bioavailability of the encapsulated drugs, have the ability to enable an increased concentration of a drug to be delivered to an infected site and reduce the associated toxicity elsewhere. On the other hand, inorganic metal-based nanomaterials exhibit multivalent antibacterial mechanisms that combat MDR bacteria effectively and reduce the occurrence of bacterial resistance. These nanomaterials have great potential for the prevention and treatment of MDR bacterial infection. Recent advances in the field of nanotechnology are enabling researchers to utilize nanomaterial building blocks in intriguing ways to create multi-functional nanocomposite materials. These nanocomposite materials, formed by lipid-, polymer-, carbon-, and metal-based nanomaterial building blocks, have opened a new avenue for researchers due to the unprecedented physiochemical properties and enhanced antibacterial activities being observed when compared to their mono-constituent parts. This review covers the latest advances of nanotechnologies used in the design and development of nano- and nanocomposite materials to fight MDR bacteria with different purposes. Our aim is to discuss and summarize these recently established nanomaterials and the respective nanocomposites, their current application, and challenges for use in applications treating MDR bacteria. In addition, we discuss the prospects for antimicrobial nanomaterials and look forward to further develop these materials, emphasizing their potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Polymers have had an enormous impact on science and technology, and their interest relating to the development of new macromolecular materials has exponentially increased. Polymer nanocomposites, materials based on a polymeric matrix covalently coupled to reinforcement, display properties of both components. In the aerospace industry, polymer nanocomposites are attractive due to their promising characteristics, among which lightness, mechanical and thermal resistance, radiation and corrosion resistance, and conductive and magnetic properties stand out. The use of them, instead of metal-based materials, has allowed the optimization of design processes and applications in order to provide safer, faster, and eventually cheaper transportation in the future. This comparative review collects the most relevant and prominent advances in the development of polymer nanocomposites with aerospace applications starting from basic aspects such as the definition of polymer nanocomposite to more specialized details such as synthesis, characterization, and applications, in addition to proposing new research branches related to this topic.

Abstract
Using functionalized nanoparticles to crosslink hydrophilic polymers is a growing theme of directly constructing nanocomposite (NC) hydrogels. Employing dynamic covalent chemistry at the nanoparticle-polymer interface is particularly attractive due to the spontaneous formation and reversible manner of dynamic covalent bonds. However, the structure and property modulation of the dynamic covalently crosslinked NC hydrogels has not been thoroughly discussed. Here, we fabricated NC hydrogels by using amine-functionalized carbon dots (CDs) to crosslink polydextran aldehyde (PDA) polymers through imine bond formation. The role of PDA with different oxidation degrees (i.e., PDA10, PDA30, and PDA50) in affecting the microstructures and properties of PDA@CD hydrogels was systematically investigated, showing that the PDA50@CD hydrogel presented the densest structure and the highest mechanical strength among the three PDA@CD hydrogels. The pH-responsiveness, 3D printing, electrospinning, and biocompatibility of PDA@CD hydrogels were also demonstrated, showing the great promise of using PDA@CD hydrogels for applications in biomedicine and biofabrication.

Abstract
The current study outlines the toxicity free Green synthesis of reduced Graphene oxide (GO) using Celosia argenta. The synthesized sample was characterized by UV- Visible spectroscopy with a strong absorption peak at 260 nm due to redshift. The 2θ value around 24.1° by XRD analysis and the functional groups like -OH, -CH2-, -C = C- and -CHO by FT- IR confirmed the reduction of GO. FE-SEM EDX reported stacked sheets with smooth edges with an atomic ratio of Carbon: Oxygen (83.56:16.44). The TEM images proved the reduction of GO by folded thin sheets with the wrinkled appearance of our sample. This novel material showed antibacterial efficiency of 51.72% - 70.83% for both gram-negative and gram-positive organisms. 89.48% of anti-oxidant effect and potential anti-inflammatory property with the IC50 value of 86.04% was reported. RSM study proved the optimization of maximum yield and Two-way ANOVA reported the statistical significance (p-value ≤ 0.05) for its anti-inflammatory effect. Bio-Gel formulated with a good spreadability rate and promising biocompatibility was proved with less Hemolysis value of 2.74%. The Genotoxicity study exposed the aberration-free active mitotic cell division in Onion root tip cells. All these showcased that, our biomaterial can find promising applications in Biomedical and Therapeutic fields. Pearl Millet powder acts as a low cost bio source for GO preparation. Celosia Argenta leaf extract supports rGO synthesis by Green method. rGO has proved significant Biomedical Applications. rGO Bio-Gel formulation will be a promising Biomaterial.

Abstract
The activity of micro-sized zero-valent iron (MZVI) material for nitrate removal in neutral pH and low C/N ratios water needs to be improved. In this study, micro-sized zero-valent iron@chitosan (MZVI@CS) material was synthesized through embedding MZVI particles into chitosan (CS) gel by sol-gel method, and was used for deep removal of NO3--N in the absence of organic carbon sources and neutral pH. The NO3--N removal rate of MZVI@CS was 0.37 mg-N·L-1·d-1 (dosage of 1%, initial pH = 7, 25 °C, initial nitrate concentration = 15 mg-N·L-1), which was 11.33 times higher than that of MZVI. The apparent activation energy (Ea) of MZVI@CS with nitrate was 38.23 kJ·mol-1. MZVI@CS can remove nitrate effectively at a low concentration (15 mg-N·L-1). A stable denitration rate (0.37-2.28 mg-N·L-1·d-1) could be maintained under weak acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions (pH = 5-9). More than 80% of reduced nitrate was converted to N2, and only a small amount was converted to NH4+ or NO2-. The gel structure of MZVI@CS eliminated the agglomeration between MZVI particles while the forming of Fe-CS chelates reduced the formation of iron oxide and solved the problems of passivation, hence successfully strengthened the NO3--N removal efficiency of MZVI. Therefore MZVI@CS has great application potential in NO3--N deep removal of water bodies with neutral pH and low C/N ratios.

Abstract
Cosmetic and food products containing water are prone to contamination during the production, storage, and transit process, leading to product spoilage and degraded organoleptic characteristics. The efficient preservation of food and cosmetics is one of the most important issues the industry is facing today. The use of nanotechnology in food and cosmetics for preservation purposes offers the possibility to boost the activity of antimicrobial agents and/or promote their safer distribution into the end product upon incorporation into packaging or film constructions. In this review, current preservation strategies are discussed and the most recent studies in nanostructures used for preservation purposes are categorized and analyzed in a way that hopefully provides the most promising strategies for both the improvement of product safety and shelf-life extension. Packaging materials are also included since the container plays a major role in the preservation of such products. It is conclusively revealed that most of the applications refer to the nanocomposites as part of the packaging, mainly due to the various possibilities that nanoscience offers to this field. Apart from that, the route of exposure being either skin or the gastrointestinal system involves safety concerns, and since migration of nanoparticles (NPs) from their container can be measured, concerns can be minimized. Conclusion: Nanomaterial science has already made a significant contribution to food and cosmetics preservation, and rapid developments in the last years reinforce the belief that in the future much of the preservation strategies to be pursued by the two industries will be based on NPs and their nanocomposites.

Abstract
Infections caused by multi-drug resistant microbes are a big challenge to the medical field and it necessitates the need for new biomedical agents that can act as potential candidates against these pathogens. Several polyindole based nanocomposites were found to exhibit the ability to release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hence they show excellent antimicrobial properties. The features of polyindole can be fine-tuned to make them potential alternatives to antibiotics and antifungal medicines. This review clearly portrays the antimicrobial properties of polyindole based nanocomposites, reported so far for biomedical applications. This review will give a clear insight into the scope and possibilities for further research on the biomedical applications of polyindole based nanocomposites.

[PMID: 34902445 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.11.207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
The suitability of newly synthesized magnetic polyaniline-Chitosan nanocomposite decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag@PANI-CS-Fe3O4) as a robust corrosion inhibitor for Aluminum (Al) in a 5 M HCl environment has been investigated via Weight Loss (WL), Alternating Current (AC)-Impedance Spectroscopy (IS), Potentiontiodynamic polarization (Tafel plots), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. The protection efficiency (PE) was mathematically modeled using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to fit an empirical relation in terms of temperature, nanocomposite concentration, and time using the face-centered central composite design. The model was accurate with a coefficient of determination (R2 = 99.27%). The negative Gibb's free energy of adsorption (ΔGads) values confirmed the spontaneity of Freundlich adsorption isotherm process on Al in 5 M HCl solution. The optimization simulation yielded maximum protection efficiency (of 97.88%) at 5 mg/L nanocomposite concentration, 1 h time, and an intermediate temperature of 304.8 K. Furthermore, the sensitivity of PE was evaluated to find that the low temperature 303 K is favorable for PE, whereas higher temperature will act adversely on PE. The results obtained by the RSM model are in agreement with the experimental observations.

Abstract
Nanocomposite double-network hydrogels (ncDN hydrogels) have been demonstrated as promising biomaterials to present several desired properties (e.g., high mechanical strength, stimuli-responsiveness, and local therapy) for biomedicine. Here, a new type of ncDN hydrogels featuring definable microstructures and properties as well as multistimuli responsiveness for controlled release applications is developed. Amine-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (IOPs_NH2 ) are used as nanoparticle cross-linkers to simultaneously connect the dual networks of gelatin (Gel) and polydextran aldehyde (PDA) through hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and dynamic imine bonds. The pH- and temperature-responsive Gel/PDA/IOP_NH2 ncDN hydrogels present a fast release profile of proteins at acidic pH and high temperature. Besides, IOP_NH2 also contributes the magnetic-responsiveness to the ncDN hydrogels, allowing the use of magnetic field to generate heat to facilitate the structural change of hydrogels and the subsequent applications. Taken together, a versatile ncDN hydrogel platform capable of multistimuli responsiveness and local heating for controlled release is developed for advanced biomedical applications.

Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 193:1430-1448.

Abstract
Wound healing is a multi-stage process that is dynamic, interactive, and complicated. However, many nanomaterials are employed to expedite wound healing by demonstrating antibacterial activity or boosting cell proliferation. But only one phase is focused during the wound healing process. As a result, there is a need for optimum wound dressing materials that promotes different wound healing cascades with ideal properties. Herein, Graphene Oxide loaded with vanadium (V) doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) blended with chitosan, and polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA/GO/TiO2-V) patch was developed for wound healing. XRD, FTIR and FE-SEM analyses were carried out to study the morphology and structural property of the patch. The fabricated patch has a high surface porosity, excellent moisture vapor transfer rate, appropriate swelling behaviour, and oxygen permeability, which results in an excellent moist environment for wound breathing and effective management of wound exudates. The antibacterial test showed significant antibacterial efficacy against wound infections in the presence of light when compared to dark. In-vitro analysis such as hemocompatibility, cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, and scratch assay show the predicted potential wound healing application with high biocompatibility. These results suggest that CS/PVA/GO/TiO2-V patch provides a microenvironment favourable to cells' growth and differentiation and positively modulates full-thickness wounds' healing.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), for its unique structure with high biocompatibility and designability, is widely used in the antibacterial field. Various strategies have been designed to fabricate GO-based composites with antibacterial properties. This review summarized these strategies, divided them into three types and interpreted their antibacterial mechanisms: (i) "GO*/non-GO" type in which GO acts as the single antibacterial core, (ii) "GO*/non-GO*" type in which GO and non-GO components function synergistically as dual antibacterial cores, (iii) "GO/non-GO*" type in which non-GO acts as the single antibacterial core, while GO component plays a supportive, not a dominant role in antibiosis. Besides, the fields suiting their applications and factors influencing their antibacterial properties were analyzed. Finally, the limitations and prospects in the current researches were discussed. In summary, GO-based composites have revolutionized antibacterial strategies. This review may serve as a reference to inspire further research on GO-based antibacterial composites.

Abstract
Skin and soft tissue infections require effective and sustained topical administration. Platensimycin (PTM) is a natural drug lead that targets bacterial fatty acid synthases and has a great potential to treat infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). To facilitate the use of PTM against local MRSA infections, we prepared polyacrylamide hydrogels containing polyamidoamine (PAMAM)/PTM nanoparticles (NP-gel(PTM)) for the controlled release of PTM. NP-gel(PTM) can continuously inhibit the growth of MRSA and its biofilm formation in simulated drug flow models in vitro. In situ implantation of NP-gel(PTM) could treat MRSA-infected subcutaneous soft tissues without toxicity. For MRSA-infected skin wounds, NP-gel(PTM) not only showed strong anti-MRSA activity but also accelerated more wound healing than the widely used antibiotic mupirocin. Collectively, PTM is expected to be used in this safe and effective NP-gel delivery platform for the treatment of local infections, which might help to alleviate the current antibiotic resistance crisis.

Abstract
The development of novel approaches to prevent bacterial infection is essential for enhancing everyday life. Carbon nanomaterials display exceptional optical, thermal, and mechanical properties combined with antibacterial ones, which make them suitable for diverse fields, including biomedical and food applications. Nonetheless, their practical applications as antimicrobial agents have not been fully explored yet, owing to their relatively poor dispersibility, expensiveness, and scalability changes. To solve these issues, they can be integrated within polymeric matrices, which also exhibit antimicrobial activity in some cases. This review describes the state of the art in the antibacterial applications of polymeric nanocomposites reinforced with 0D fullerenes, 1D carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and 2D graphene (G) and its derivatives such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Given that a large number of such nanocomposites are available, only the most illustrative examples are described, and their mechanisms of antimicrobial activity are discussed. Finally, some applications of these antimicrobial polymeric nanocomposites are reviewed.

Abstract
Mg and its alloys are biodegradable and mechanically strong materials, which can be used for an orthopedic implant and device applications, but corrosion rate of these alloys is high. In this research, the nanocomposite coatings of chitosan (CS)/graphene oxide (GO) were fabricated to improve the corrosion resistance of the Mg-2 wt% Zn scaffold. The contents of the GO nanosheets and the pulse electrodeposition process parameters, including peak current density (CD) and duty cycle (DC), will also be investigated. The Mg-2 wt% Zn as a substrate of the scaffold was prepared using a powder metallurgy process. The influence of the porosity was studied on the microstructure fabricated scaffolds. The coating microstructures and morphologies were investigated by Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and SEM. The atomic force microscopy was performed to study the thickness of the nanocomposite coatings. The zeta potential measurement was conducted for the dispersion of the GO nanosheets in the CS matrix. The obtained results showed that the optimum conditions to fabricate a uniform CS/GO coating on the scaffolds were 2 wt% GO, CD = 20 mA cm-2, and DC = 0.5. The pH, time and temperature for the fabrication of the coatings were conducted at 5, 20 min, and 37 °C, respectively. Additionally, the potentiodynamic polarization measurement in simulated body fluid indicated that the CS/GO coatings could provide effective protection of the scaffolds against corrosion. Additionally, the optimum sample obtained from the aspect of the corrosion behavior demonstrated adequate biocompatibility with proper adhesion of mouse fibroblast cells (L929) on the CS-2 wt% GO coating.

Abstract
Escalating medical expenses due to infectious diseases are causing huge socioeconomic pressure on mankind globally. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has further aggravated this problem. Drug-resistant pathogens are also capable of forming thick biofilms on biotic and abiotic surfaces to thrive in a harsh environment. To address these clinical problems, various strategies including antibacterial agent delivering matrices and bactericidal coatings strategies have been developed. In this review, we have discussed various types of polymeric vehicles such as hydrogels, sponges/cryogels, microgels, nanogels, and meshes, which are commonly used to deliver antibiotics, metal nanoparticles, and biocides. Compositions of these polymeric matrices have been elaborately depicted by elucidating their chemical interactions and potential activity have been discussed. On the other hand, various implant/device-surface coating strategies which exploit the release-active mechanism of bacterial killing are discussed in elaboration. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Cardiovascular Disease Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease.

Abstract
Human organoids mimic the physiology and tissue architecture of organs and are of great significance for promoting the study of human diseases. Traditionally, organoid cultures rely predominantly on animal or tumor-derived extracellular matrix (ECM), resulting in poor reproducibility. This limits their utility in for large-scale drug screening and application for regenerative medicine. Recently, synthetic polymeric hydrogels, with high biocompatibility and biodegradability, stability, uniformity of compositions, and high throughput properties, have emerged as potential materials for achieving 3D architectures for organoid cultures. Compared to conventional animal or tumor-derived organoids, these newly engineered hydrogel-based organoids more closely resemble human organs, as they are able to mimic native structural and functional properties observed in-situ. In this review, recent developments in hydrogel-based organoid culture will be summarized, emergent hydrogel technology will be highlighted, and future challenges in applying them to organoid culture will be discussed.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles have been helpful in creatinine sensing technology under point-of-care (POC) settings because of their excellent electrocatalyst properties. However, the behavior of monometallic nanoparticles as electrochemical creatinine sensors showed limitations concerning the current density in the mA/cm2 range and wide detection window, which are essential parameters for the development of a sensor for POC applications. Herein, we report a new sensor, a reduced graphene oxide stabilized binary copper-iron oxide-based nanocomposite on a 3D printed Ag-electrode (Fe-Cu-rGO@Ag) for detecting a wide range of blood creatinine (0.01 to 1000 μM; detection limit 10 nM) in an electrochemical chip with a current density ranging between 0.185 and 1.371 mA/cm2 and sensitivity limit of 1.1 μA μM-1 cm-2 at physiological pH. Interference studies confirmed that the sensor exhibited no interference from analytes like uric acid, urea, dopamine, and glutathione. The sensor response was also evaluated to detect creatinine in human blood samples with high accuracy in less than a minute. The sensing mechanism suggested that the synergistic effects of Cu and iron oxide nanoparticles played an essential role in the efficient sensing where Fe atoms act as active sites for creatinine oxidation through the secondary amine nitrogen, and Cu nanoparticles acted as an excellent electron-transfer mediator through rGO. The rapid sensor fabrication procedure, mA/cm2 peak current density, a wide range of detection limits, low contact resistance including high selectivity, excellent linear response (R2 = 0.991), and reusability ensured the application of advanced electrochemical sensor toward the POC creatinine detection.

Abstract
The incorporation of carbon-based nanostructures into polymer matrices is a relevant strategy for producing novel antimicrobial materials. By using nanofillers of different shapes and sizes, and polymers with different characteristics, novel antimicrobial nanocomposites with synergistic properties can be obtained. This article describes the state of art in the field of antimicrobial polymeric nanocomposites reinforced with graphene and its derivatives such as graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide. Taking into account the vast number of articles published, only some representative examples are provided. A classification of the different nanocomposites is carried out, dividing them into acrylic and methacrylic matrices, biodegradable synthetic polymers and natural polymers. The mechanisms of antimicrobial activity of graphene and its derivatives are also reviewed. Finally, some applications of these antimicrobial nanocomposites are discussed. We aim to enhance understanding in the field and promote further work on the development of polymer-based antimicrobial nanocomposites incorporating graphene-based nanomaterials.

Biosynthesis of chitosan-coated iron oxide (Fe 3O 4) hybrid nanocomposites from leaf extracts of Brassica oleracea L. and study on their antibacterial potentials. 3 Biotech 2021; 11:271. [PMID: 34017676 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-021-02820-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, we prepared chitosan (CS)-coated iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanocomposites (NCs) by employing the aqueous leaf extract of Brassica oleracea L. and evaluated its antimicrobial potential. The characterization of hybrid CS-Fe3O4 NCs was performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis to evaluate the chemical bonding of chitosan to nanoparticles (NPs). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies revealed the presence of oxidation state elements Fe 2p, O 1s, N 1s, and C 1s, and the zeta potential analysis was found to have well-colloidal stability (+ 76.9 mV) of NCs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis determined that CS-Fe3O4 NCs were spherical with an average particle size of 27 nm. The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) spectrum ascertained the crystallinity of the hybrid NCs and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) inferred the ferromagnetic behavior of the synthesized NCs. Furthermore, the significant antibacterial efficacy of NPs was demonstrated against foodborne bacterial pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli), and the highest zone of inhibition was observed to be 11.5 mm and 13.5 mm in CS-Fe3O4 NCs, respectively. In comparison with Fe3O4 NPs, synergistic impacts of CS-Fe3O4 NCs displayed great antibacterial potential as exhibited by a clearly enlarged zone. Thus, CS-Fe3O4 NCs could be used as efficacious antimicrobial agents in food packaging and food preservation fields.

Abstract
The unique properties of graphene and graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites make them suitable for a wide range of medical, industrial, and agricultural applications. The addition of graphene or GO to a polymeric matrix can ameliorate its thermo-mechanical, electrical, and barrier characteristics. The present paper reviews the literature on graphene/GO-based bio-nanocomposites and examines the various fabrication methods, such as chemical vapor deposition, chemical synthesis, microwave synthesis, the solvothermal method, molecular beam epitaxy, and colloidal suspension. Each procedure potentially has its disadvantages, especially for mass production. Therefore, introducing an effective method for fabricating graphene on a large scale with high quality is essential. Recent studies have shown that graphene-based bio-nanocomposites are promising materials given their excellent performance in the development of biosensors, drug delivery systems, antimicrobials, modified electrodes, and energy storage systems among other applications. In this review, we evaluate the various procedures used for developing graphene/GO-based bio-nanocomposites and examine the features and applications of the related products. Furthermore, the toxicity of these compounds and attempts to uncover the optimal combinations of biopolymers and carbon nanomaterials for industrial applications will be discussed.
