Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1817. [PMID: 39000672 PMCID: PMC11244114 DOI: 10.3390/polym16131817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Alginate, categorized as a natural-based biodegradable polymer, stands out for its inherently exclusive properties. Although this unique polymer is widely processed using film, coating, and membrane technologies for different usage areas, textile applications are still limited. This study aims to compile promising approaches that will pave the way for the use of wet-spun alginate filaments in textile applications. In this regard, this study provides information about the molecular structure of alginate, the gel formation mechanism, and cross-linking using different techniques. Our literature review categorizes parameters affecting the mechanical properties of wet-spun alginate filaments, such as the effect of ion source and spinning dope concentration, needle diameter, temperature, and coagulants. Following this, a detailed and comprehensive literature review of the various approaches, such as use of additives, preparation of blended filaments, and grafted nanocrystal addition, developed by researchers to produce composite alginate filaments is presented. Additionally, studies concerning the use of different cations in the coagulation phase are reported. Moreover, studies about the functionalism of wet-spun alginate filaments have been offered.

Abstract
Anisotropic composites based on well-ordered cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have received increasing attention due to their fascinating optical properties. In this study, we fabricated a multi-functional hydrogel with nematic organization of CNC by soaking a pre-stretched polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/CNC cyrogel in Na2SO4, CaCl2 solution and DI water in sequence. The crystalline domains, water content and transmittance of the hydrogel are regulated via the Hofmeister effect and hydrophobic interactions, which makes the birefringence of the hydrogel observable by interference colors. The aligned CNC not only enhance the mechanical strength of hydrogel, but also endow it with stimuli-responsive ability to the varying environment such as ion strength (0 to 5 M NaCl solution) and external forces (pressure of 0 to 248 kPa). Moreover, the patterned hydrogels are successfully fabricated by the method of local solvent displacement. Due to the low light transmission, the pattern can be encrypted and only be observed between crossed polarizers. These optical properties made the hydrogel a promising candidate for environmental monitoring and anti-counterfeit material.

Abstract
The aspect ratio (AR) of filler particles is one of the most critical determinants for the mechanical properties of particle-reinforced polymer composites. However, it has been challenging to solely study the effect of particle AR due to the difficulties of controlling AR without altering the physical and chemical properties of the particle. Herein, we synthesized PCN-222, a zirconium-based porphyrinic metal-organic framework (MOF) with preferential longitudinal growth as a series of particles with ARs increasing from 3.4 to 54. The synthetic MOF conditions allowed for the chemical properties of the particles to remain constant over the series. The particles were employed as reinforcers for poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). MOF-polymer composite films were fabricated using doctor-blading techniques, which facilitated particle dispersion and alignment in the PMMA matrix, as revealed by optical microscopy and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. Mechanical measurements showed that both elastic and dynamic moduli increased with particle AR and particle concentrations but started to decrease as particle loading increased beyond 0.5 wt % (1.12 vol %). The data obtained at low particle loadings were fitted well with the Halpin-Tsai model. In contrast, the percolation model and the Cox model were unable to adequately fit the data, indicating the mechanical reinforcement in our system mainly originated from efficient load transfer between particles and the matrix in the particle orienting direction. Finally, we showed that the thermal stability of composite films increased with the addition of MOF particles because of the high thermal degradation temperature and restricted polymer chain mobility.

Abstract
Chemical modification of cellulose offers routes for structurally and functionally diverse biopolymer derivatives for numerous industrial applications. Among cellulose derivatives, cellulose ethers have found extensive use, such as emulsifiers, in food industries and biotechnology. Methylcellulose, one of the simplest cellulose derivatives, has been utilized for biomedical, construction materials and cell culture applications. Its improved water solubility, thermoresponsive gelation, and the ability to act as a matrix for various dopants also offer routes for cellulose-based functional materials. There has been a renewed interest in understanding the structural, mechanical, and optical properties of methylcellulose and its composites. This review focuses on the recent development in optically and mechanically tunable hydrogels derived from methylcellulose and methylcellulose-cellulose nanocrystal composites. We further discuss the application of the gels for preparing highly ductile and strong fibers. Finally, the emerging application of methylcellulose-based fibers as optical fibers and their application potentials are discussed.

Abstract
New ink compositions for direct ink writing (DIW) printing of hydrogels, combining superior rheological properties of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and a water-compatible photoinitiator, are presented. Rapid fixation was achieved by photopolymerization induced immediately after the printing of each layer by 365 nm light for 5 s, which overcame the common height limitation in DIW printing of hydrogels, and enabled the fabrication of objects with a high aspect ratio. CNCs imparted a unique rheological behavior, which was expressed by orders of magnitude difference in viscosity between low and high shear rates and in rapid high shear recovery, without compromising ink printability. Compared to the literature, the presented printing compositions enable the use of low photoinitiator concentrations at a very short build time, 6.25 s/mm, and are also curable by 405 nm light, which is favorable for maintaining viability in bioinks.

High strength and strain alginate fibers by a novel wheel spinning technique for knitting stretchable and biocompatible wound-care materials. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 127:112204. [PMID: 34225856 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Alginate fibrous materials have been applied as wound dressing to enhance wound healing due to its nontoxic, biodegradable, and hemostatic nature. Conventional nonwoven fabrication tactics, however, showed weakness in inflammation, degradation stability and mechanical properties. Herein, the wet-spun alginate fibers were prepared by a novel wheel spinning technique, then knitted into wound dressing. Benefiting from optimized wet spinning parameters and the agglomeration of alginate multimers, the fibers were endowed with elevated mechanical performances and biodegradability, which allowed for the feasibility of knitting wound-care materials. Using the new wheel spinning technique, high strength alginate fibers with 173 MPa were produced with breaking strain up to 18% and toughness of 16.16 MJ*m-3. Meanwhile, alginate fibers with high breaking strain reaching 35% were produced with tensile strength of 135 MPa and toughness of 37.47 MJ*m-3. The overall mechanical performances of these alginate fibers with high breaking strain are significantly higher (up to 2 times) than those published in the literature in term of toughness. In vitro degradation evaluation revealed that this wet spun fibrous dressing had good aqueous absorbency (50%) and sustained biodegradation properties. Furthermore, the consequent cell viability study also proved that this alginate knitted fabric is biocompatible for being applied as wound dressing.

Abstract
We aimed to improve the mechanical properties of alginate fibers by reinforcing with various cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). Pure cellulose nanofibril (PCNF), lignocellulose nanofibril (LCNF) obtained via deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment, and TEMPO-oxidized lignocellulose nanofibril (TOLCNF) were employed. Sodium alginate (AL) was mixed with PCNF, LCNF, and TOLCNF with a CNF content of 5–30%. To fabricate microcomposite filaments, the suspensions were wet-spun in calcium chloride (CaCl2) solution through a microfluidic channel. Average diameters of the microcomposite filaments were in the range of 40.2–73.7 μm, which increased with increasing CNF content and spinning rate. The tensile strength and elastic modulus improved as the CNF content increased to 10%, but the addition of 30% CNF deteriorated the tensile properties. The tensile strength and elastic modulus were in the order of LCNF/AL > PCNF/AL > TOLCNF/AL > AL. An increase in the spinning rate improved the tensile properties.

Abstract
Alginate is an edible heteropolysaccharide that abundantly available in the brown seaweed and the capsule of bacteria such as Azotobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp. Owing to alginate gel forming capability, it is widely used in food, textile and paper industries; and to a lesser extent in biomedical applications as biomaterial to promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. This is evident from the rising use of alginate-based dressing for heavily exuding wound and their mass availability in the market nowadays. However, alginate also has limitation. When in contact with physiological environment, alginate could gelate into softer structure, consequently limits its potential in the soft tissue regeneration and becomes inappropriate for the usage related to load bearing body parts. To cater this problem, wide range of materials have been added to alginate structure, producing sturdy composite materials. For instance, the incorporation of adhesive peptide and natural polymer or synthetic polymer to alginate moieties creates an improved composite material, which not only possesses better mechanical properties compared to native alginate, but also grants additional healing capability and promote better tissue regeneration. In addition, drug release kinetic and cell viability can be further improved when alginate composite is used as encapsulating agent. In this review, preparation of alginate and alginate composite in various forms (fibre, bead, hydrogel, and 3D-printed matrices) used for biomedical application is described first, followed by the discussion of latest trend related to alginate composite utilization in wound dressing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
GELLAN GUM: and gellan-derived materials have never been used for suture materials due to their lack of strength and toughness. In this study, gellan and ε-polylysine formed a polyion complex in water solution, and the complex was transformed into fibers via wet-spinning. The fibers were bundled, twisted, and elongated, and the resultant twisted and elongated yarn (GPF) had a diameter of 97.53-103.76 μm and tensile strength of 4 N. The swelling ratio of GPF was 165.55%-183.23% in weight in normal saline, and the linear density was 2.84-3.31 g/km. GPF was tested using agar diffusion tests and it was found that the fibers had good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis. In weight loss experiments, GPF was found to be undegradable in normal saline and slightly degradable (residual weight ratio was 83.2 ± 1.2%) in simulated body fluid with trypsin within 7 days. Moreover, GPF showed no cytotoxicity toward BV-2 cells in cytotoxity tests with CCK8 and no hemolysis in hemolytic tests with fresh C57 mice blood. Finally, GPF was assessed using mouse dorsal cross-cutting model, and none of the mice that were tested with GPF showed infection or rejection reaction. Therefore, GPF is a promising suture material, and this study provides a new development direction for the application of gellan materials with improved mechanical properties.

Abstract
Alginate biopolymer has been used in the design and development of several wound dressing materials in order to improve the efficiency of wound healing. Mainly, alginate improves the hydrophilic nature of wound dressing materials in order to create the required moist wound environment, remove wound exudate and increase the speed of skin recovery of the wound. In addition, alginate can easily cross-link with other organic and inorganic materials and they can promote wound healing in clinical applications. This review article addresses the importance of alginates and the roles of derivative polymeric materials in wound dressing biomaterials. Additionally, studies on recent alginate-based wound dressing materials are discussed.

Abstract
The fabrication of nanocomposite films and fibers based on cellulose nanocrystals (P-tCNCs) and a thermoplastic polyurethane (PU) elastomer is reported. High-aspect-ratio P-tCNCs were isolated from tunicates using phosphoric acid hydrolysis, which is a process that affords nanocrystals displaying high thermal stability. Nanocomposites were produced by solvent casting (films) or melt-mixing in a twin-screw extruder and subsequent melt-spinning (fibers). The processing protocols were found to affect the orientation of both PU hard segments and the P-tCNCs within the PU matrix and therefore the mechanical properties. While the films were isotropic, both the polymer matrix and the P-tCNCs proved to be aligned along the fiber direction in the fibers, as shown using SAXS/WAXS, angle-dependent Raman spectroscopy, and birefringence analysis. Tensile tests reveal that fibers and films, at similar P-tCNC contents, display Young's moduli and strain-at-break that are within the same order of magnitude, but the stress-at-break was found to be ten-times higher for fibers, conferring them a superior toughness over films.

Abstract
We show that composite hydrogels comprising methyl cellulose (MC) and cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) colloidal rods display a reversible and enhanced rheological storage modulus and optical birefringence upon heating, i.e., inverse thermoreversibility. Dynamic rheology, quantitative polarized optical microscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), circular dichroism (CD), and scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) were used for characterization. The concentration of CNCs in aqueous media was varied up to 3.5 wt % (i.e, keeping the concentration below the critical aq concentration) while maintaining the MC aq concentration at 1.0 wt %. At 20 °C, MC/CNC underwent gelation upon passing the CNC concentration of 1.5 wt %. At this point, the storage modulus ( G') reached a plateau, and the birefringence underwent a stepwise increase, thus suggesting a percolative phenomenon. The storage modulus ( G') of the composite gels was an order of magnitude higher at 60 °C compared to that at 20 °C. ITC results suggested that, at 60 °C, the CNC rods were entropically driven to interact with MC chains, which according to recent studies collapse at this temperature into ring-like, colloidal-scale persistent fibrils with hollow cross-sections. Consequently, the tendency of the MC to form more persistent aggregates promotes the interactions between the CNC chiral aggregates towards enhanced storage modulus and birefringence. At room temperature, ITC shows enthalpic binding between CNCs and MC with the latter comprising aqueous, molecularly dispersed polymer chains that lead to looser and less birefringent material. TEM, SEM, and CD indicate CNC chiral fragments within a MC/CNC composite gel. Thus, MC/CNC hybrid networks offer materials with tunable rheological properties and access to liquid crystalline properties at low CNC concentrations.

Abstract
A route for the compatibilization of aqueous dispersions of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) with a non-polar polymer matrix is proposed to overcome a major challenge in CNF-based material synthesis. Non-ionic surfactants were used in CNF aqueous dispersions equilibrated with an organic phase (for demonstration, a polystyrene solution, PS, was used). Stable water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsions were produced as a result of the compromise between composition and formulation variables. Most remarkably, the proposed route for CNF integration with hydrophobic polymers removed the need for drying or solvent-exchange of the CNF aqueous dispersion prior to processing. The rheological behavior of the double emulsions showed strong shear thinning behavior and facilitated CNF-PS co-mixing in solid nanofibers upon electrospinning. The morphology and thermal properties of the resultant nanofibers revealed that CNFs were efficiently integrated in the hydrophobic matrix which was consistent with the high interfacial area of the precursor double emulsion. In addition, the morphology and quality of the composite nanofibers can be controlled by the conductivity (ionic strength) of the CNF dispersion. Overall, double emulsion systems are proposed as a novel, efficient and scalable platform for CNF co-processing with non-polar systems and they open up the possibility for the redispersion of CNFs after removal of the organic phase.

Abstract
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/cellulose nanocrytal (CNC) fibers containing 0, 1, 5, and 10 wt % CNCs have been successfully produced by gel spinning. The rheological properties of solutions were investigated and the results showed that the complex viscosity and storage modulus of solutions were significantly affected by the presence of CNCs in the solution. Structure, morphology, mechanical properties and dynamic mechanical properties of these fibers have been investigated. Tensile modulus and strength increased from 14.5 to 19.6 GPa and from 624 to 709 MPa, respectively, as CNC loading increased from 0 to 10 wt %. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction results showed better PAN chain alignment and higher PAN crystallinity with the incorporation of CNCs.

Abstract
Natural high-performance materials inspire the pursuit of ordered hard/soft nanocomposite structures at high fractions of reinforcements and with balanced supramolecular interactions. Such biomimetic design principles remain difficult to realize for bulk nanocomposites. Herein, we establish an effective drawing procedure that induces a high orientation of crystalline cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in a matrix of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) at high level of reinforcements (50 vol %). We show such alignment in rather thick bulk films and report synergetic improvement with a simultaneous increase of stiffness, strength, and work-to-fracture as a function of the degree of alignment. Scanning electron microscopy and two-dimensional X-ray diffraction quantify the alignment of the cylindrical nanoparticles and link it to the extent of drawing and improvements in mechanical properties. We further show that the decline in mechanical properties of such waterborne all biobased nanocomposites at high relative humidity can be balanced using supramolecular modulation of the ionic interactions by exchanging the monovalent Na(+) counterion, present in CMC and CNC with di- or trivalent Cu(2+) and Fe(3+). This contribution demonstrates the importance of aligning one-dimensional reinforcements to achieve synergetic improvement in mechanical properties in sustainable bioinspired nanocomposites and suggests pathways to prepare water-stable materials based on a waterborne processing route.

Abstract
This work presents the development of dry spun cellulose acetate (CA) fibers using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as reinforcements. Increasing amounts of CNCs were dispersed into CA fibers in efforts to improve the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the fiber. A systematic characterization of dispersion of CNCs in the polymer fiber and their effect on the nanocomposites' mechanical properties is described. The birefringence, thermal properties, and degree of CNC orientation of the fibers are discussed. 2D X-ray diffraction was used to quantify the degree of CNC alignment within the fibers. It is shown that the CNC alignment directly correlates to the mechanical properties of the composite. Maximum improvements of 137% in tensile strength and 637% in elastic modulus were achieved. Empirical micromechanical models Halpin-Tsai equation and an orientation modified Cox model were used to predict the fiber performance and compared with experimental results.

Abstract
Chitin-calcium alginate composite fibers were prepared from a solution of high molecular weight chitin extracted from shrimp shells and alginic acid in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate by dry-jet wet spinning into an aqueous bath saturated with CaCO3. The fibers exhibited a significant proportion of the individual properties of both calcium alginate and chitin. Ultimate stress values were close to values obtained for calcium alginate fibers, and the absorption capacities measured were consistent with those reported for current wound care dressings. Wound healing studies (rat model, histological evaluation) indicated that chitin-calcium alginate covered wound sites underwent normal wound healing with re-epithelialization and that coverage of the dermal fibrosis with hyperplastic epidermis was consistently complete after only 7 days of treatment. Using a single patch per wound per animal during the entire study, all rat wounds achieved 95-99% closure by day 10 with complete wound closure by day 14.

Abstract
Intensive exploration and research in the past few decades on polysaccharide nanocrystals, the highly crystalline nanoscale materials derived from natural resources, mainly focused originally on their use as a reinforcing nanophase in nanocomposites. However, these investigations have led to the emergence of more diverse potential applications exploiting the functionality of these nanomaterials. Based on the construction strategies of functional nanomaterials, this article critically and comprehensively reviews the emerging polysaccharide nanocrystal-based functional nanomaterials with special applications, such as biomedical materials, biomimetic optical nanomaterials, bio-inspired mechanically adaptive nanomaterials, permselective nanostructured membranes, template for synthesizing inorganic nanoparticles, polymer electrolytes, emulsion nano-stabilizer and decontamination of organic pollutants. We focus on the preparation, unique properties and performances of the different polysaccharide nanocrystal materials. At the same time, the advantages, physicochemical properties and chemical modifications of polysaccharide nanocrystals are also comparatively discussed in view of materials development. Finally, the perspective and current challenges of polysaccharide nanocrystals in future functional nanomaterials are outlined.

Abstract
Agarose hydrogels filled with cellulose nanowhiskers were strained in uniaxial stretching under different humidity conditions. The orientation of the cellulose whiskers was examined before and after testing with an X-ray laboratory source and monitored in situ during loading by synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The aim of this approach was to determine the process parameters for reorienting the cellulose nanowhiskers toward a preferential direction. Results show that a controlled drying of the hydrogel is essential to establish interactions between the matrix and the cellulose nanowhiskers which allow for a stress transfer during stretching and thereby promote their alignment. Rewetting of the sample after reorientation of the cellulose nanowhiskers circumvents a critical increase of stress. This improves the extensibility of the hydrogel and is accompanied by a further moderate alignment of the cellulose nanowhiskers. Following this protocol, cellulose nanowhiskers with an initial random distribution can be reoriented toward a preferential direction, creating anisotropic nanocomposites.
