Abstract
This review aims to provide a literature overview as well as the authors' personal account to the studies of Laponite® (Lap)/Polyethylene-oxide (PEO) based composite materials and their applications. These composites can be prepared over a wide range of their mutual concentrations, they are highly water soluble, and have many useful physico-chemical properties. To the readers' convenience, the contents are subdivided into different sections, related with consideration of PEO properties and its solubility in water, behavior of Lap systems(structure of Lap-platelets, properties of aqueous dispersions of Lap and aging effects in them), analyzing ofproperties LAP/PEO systems, Lap platelets-PEO interactions, adsorption mechanisms, aging effects, aggregation and electrokinetic properties. The different applications of Lap/PEO composites are reviewed. These applications include Lap/PEO based electrolytes for lithium polymer batteries, electrospun nanofibers, environmental, biomedical and biotechnology engineering. Both Lap and PEO are highly biocompatible with living systems and they are non-toxic, non-yellowing, and non-inflammable. Medical applications of Lap/PEO composites in bio-sensing, tissue engineering, drug delivery, cell proliferation, and wound dressings are also discussed.

Abstract
In this study, the magnetite nanoparticles were immobilized on the sepiolite needles via co-precipitation of iron ions. Then, the resulted magnetic sepiolite (mSep) nanoparticles were coated with chitosan biopolymer (Chito) in the presence of citric acid (CA) to prepare mSep@Chito core-shell drug nanocarriers (NCs). TEM images showed magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles with small sizes (less than 25 nm) on the sepiolite needles. Sunitinib anticancer drug loading efficiencies were ⁓45 and 83.7 % for the NCs with low and high content of Chito, respectively. The in-vitro drug release results exhibited that the mSep@Chito NCs have a sustained release behavior with high pH-dependent properties. Cytotoxic results (MTT assay) showed that the sunitinib-loaded mSep@Chito2 NC had a significant cytotoxic effect on the MCF-7 cell lines. Also, the in-vitro compatibility of erythrocytes, physiological stability, biodegradability, and antibacterial and antioxidant activities of NCs was evaluated. The results showed that the synthesized NCs had excellent hemocompatibility, good antioxidant properties, and were sufficiently stable and biocompatible. Based on the antibacterial data, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for mSep@Chito1, mSep@Chito2, and mSep@Chito3 were obtained as 125, 62.5, and 31.2 μg/mL towards S. aureus, respectively. All in all, the prepared NCs could be potentially used as a pH-triggered system for biomedical applications.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15040841. [PMID: 36850125 PMCID: PMC9959284 DOI: 10.3390/polym15040841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
In the context of increasing interest in biomaterials with applicability in cosmetics and medicine, this research aims to obtain and characterize some hybrid materials based on chitosan (CS) (antibacterial, biocompatible, and biodegradable), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (non-toxic and prevents the adsorption of protein and cell) and Laponite® RD (Lap) (bioactive). The rheological properties of the starting dispersions were investigated and discussed related to the interactions developed between components. All samples exhibited gel-like properties, and the storage modulus of CS/PEG dispersion increased from 6.6 Pa to 657.7 Pa by adding 2.5% Lap. Structural and morphological characterization of the films, prepared by solution casting method, was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and polarized light microscopy (POM). These analyses proved the incorporation of Lap into CS/PEG films and revealed the morphological changes of the films by the addition of clay. Thereby, at the highest Lap concentration (43.8%), the "house of cards" structure formed by Lap platelets, which incorporate chitosan chains, as evidenced by SEM and POM. Two stages of degradation between 200 °C and 410 °C were evidenced for the films with Lap concentration higher than 38.5%, explained by the existence of a clay-rich phase (given by the clay network) and chitosan-rich one (due to the intercalation of chitosan in the clay network). CS/PEG film with 43.8% Lap showed the highest swelling degree of 240.7%. The analysis of the obtained results led to the conclusion that the addition of clay to the CS/PEG films increases their stability in water and gives them greater thermal stability.

Insight into the aqueous Laponite® nanodispersions for self-assembled poly(itaconic acid) nanocomposite hydrogels: The effect of multivalent phosphate dispersants. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 610:1-12. [PMID: 34922067 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.12.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS We hypothesize, that physical network between Laponite® nanoparticles and high molecular weight polyelectrolyte formed by mixing of Laponite® nanodispersion (containing multivalent phosphate dispersant) and polyelectrolyte solution is strongly influenced by the type and content of dispersant, which forms electric double layer (EDL) closely to the Laponite® edges. Thus, optimum dispersant concentration is necessary to overcome clay-clay interactions (excellent clay delamination), but should not be exceeded, what would result in the EDL compression and weakening of attractions forming clay-polyelectrolyte network. Thus, deeper investigation of Laponite® nanodispersions is highly demanded since it would enable to better design the self-assembled clay-polyelectrolyte hydrogels. EXPERIMENTS To study clay interparticle interactions in the presence of various multivalent phosphates, complementary methods providing wide nanodispersion characterization have been applied: zeta potential measurement and SAXS technique (electrostatic interactions), oscillatory rheology (nanodispersion physical state) and NMR experiments (ion immobilization degree). FINDINGS It was found that multivalent phosphates induce and tune strength of clay-polyelectrolyte interactions forming hydrogel network in terms of varying EDL on the Laponite® edges. Moreover, phosphate dispersing efficiency depends on the molecular size, chemical structure, and valence of the anion; its potential as efficient dispersant for hydrogel preparation can be evaluated by estimation of anion charge density.

Abstract
The functionalization of Laponite RD platelets with different cationic, anionic, and nonionic homo- and copolymers synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) has been investigated. The effective interaction of the macromolecular RAFT agents (macroRAFTs) with the inorganic particles is known to be of crucial importance for the successful coating of minerals with polymers via RAFT-mediated emulsion polymerization to produce polymer-encapsulated inorganic particles. The macroRAFT agents synthesized in the present work contain carefully selected reinitiating R groups, which bear either ionizable tertiary amine or quaternary ammonium moieties (from 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, DMAEMA), negatively charged acrylic acid (AA) repeat units, or neutral polyethylene glycol (PEG) side chains, and are capable of interacting with Laponite via different adsorption mechanisms. The equilibrium adsorption of these RAFT (co)polymers was investigated by the plotting of adsorption isotherms, and either L-type or H-type curves were obtained. The hydrophobicity of the macroRAFT was shown to promote adsorption, as did the pending configuration of the PEG block. Charge repulsion between AA and the negatively charged surface of Laponite at pH 7.5, on the other hand, was prejudicial for adsorption, while the strong electrostatic interaction between the cationic DMAEMA molecules and the Laponite surface led to high-affinity-type curves.

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.

Abstract
The rheological behavior of alginate and Laponite/alginate solutions was studied. It was observed that the Cross viscosity model successfully describes the steady-state shear behavior of this polysaccharide. The scaling behavior analyzed for the entangled regime is in good agreement with polyelectrolyte solutions (Ge∼cp3/2), with interactions generated between the alginate and the charged surfaces of the Laponite platelets. Therefore, the effect of Laponite as a rheology modifier is influenced by the alginate concentration. Higher alginate concentrations hindered the formation of the house of cards microstructure. Frequency sweep tests were performed to analyze the transition from solid-like to liquid-like behavior in a solid-like dominated domain. Soft physical gels were obtained at low alginate concentrations. The gel point was determined (1.65wt.% of alginate and 2wt.% of Laponite) through the Kramers-Krönig damping factor, and time sweep tests revealed the evolution of the storage (G') and loss modulus (G″) as functions of the waiting time (tw). The growing elasticity revealed that Laponite/alginate solutions undergo aging.
