Abstract
Responsive magnetic nanomaterials offer significant advantages for innovative therapies, for instance, in cancer treatments that exploit on-demand delivery on alternating magnetic field (AMF) stimulus. In this work, biocompatible magnetic bionanocomposite films are fabricated from chitosan by film casting with incorporation of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) produced by facile one pot synthesis. The influence of synthesis conditions and MNP concentration on the films' heating efficiency and heat dissipation are evaluated through spatio-temporal mapping of the surface temperature changes by video-thermography. The cast films have a thickness below 100 µm, and upon exposure to AMF (663 kHz, 12.8 kA m-1), induce exceptionally strong heating, reaching a maximum temperature increase of 82 °C within 270 s irradiation. Further, it is demonstrated that the films can serve as substrates that supply heat for multiple hyperthermia scenarios, including: i) non-contact automated heating of cell culture medium, ii) heating of gelatine-based hydrogels of different shapes, and iii) killing of cancerous melanoma cells. The films are versatile components for non-contact stimulus with translational potential in multiple biomedical applications.

Abstract
Natural polymers are of great interest in the biomedical field due to their intrinsic properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of natural polymers is a versatile, simple, efficient, reproducible, and flexible bottom-up technique for the development of nanostructured materials in a controlled manner. The multiple morphological and structural advantages of LbL compared to traditional coating methods (i.e., precise control over the thickness and compositions at the nanoscale, simplicity, versatility, suitability, and flexibility to coat surfaces with irregular shapes and sizes), make LbL one of the most useful techniques for building up advanced multilayer polymer structures for application in several fields, e.g., biomedicine, energy, and optics. This review article collects the main advances concerning multilayer assembly of natural polymers employing the most used LbL techniques (i.e., dipping, spray, and spin coating) leading to multilayer polymer structures and the influence of several variables (i.e., pH, molar mass, and method of preparation) in this LbL assembly process. Finally, the employment of these multilayer biopolymer films as platforms for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and thermal therapies will be discussed.

Abstract
Alginate/Fe3+ hydrogels were fabricated on hyaluronic acid (HA) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) multilayers to yield photoresponsive nanometer-scale hydrogels. Light irradiation of the resulting hydrogels induced the photoreduction of "hard" Fe3+ to "soft" Fe2+ cations, leading to changes in the mechanical properties of the hydrogels related to their cross-linking behavior. The buildup and the phototriggered response of the supported alginate hydrogels were followed in situ with a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) using an open cell allowing light irradiation from an LED source on top of the hydrogel. The results were correlated to the release profiles of folic acid, employed herein as a drug model, obtained from light-irradiated supported iron alginate hydrogels.

Enhanced Stain Removal and Comfort Control Achieved by Cross-Linking Light and Thermo Dual-Responsive Copolymer onto Cotton Fabrics. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2019; 11:5414-5426. [PMID: 30640436 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.8b19908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Enhanced capabilities of stain removal and comfort control are simultaneously achieved by the light and thermo dual-responsive copolymer poly(triethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate- co-ethylene glycol methacrylate- co-acrylamide azobenzene) (P(MEO3MA- co-EGMA- co-AAAB)) cross-linked on cotton fabrics. P(MEO3MA- co-EGMA- co-AAAB) is synthesized by sequential atom transfer radical polymerization with a molar ratio of 8 (MEO3MA):1 (EGMA):1 (AAAB). The MEO3MA units induce a thermoresponsive behavior to the copolymer. The hydrophilicity of the copolymer films can be further improved by the light-induced trans- cis isomerization of the AAAB units with UV radiation. The copolymer is facilely immobilized onto cotton fabrics with 1,2,3,4-butane tetracarboxylic acid as cross-linker. Due to the immobilization of P(MEO3MA- co-EGMA- co-AAAB), the hydrophilicity of the fabric surface is increased under UV radiation. Therefore, by simply installing a UV light source in the washing machine, better capability of stain removal is realized for the cross-linked cotton fabrics. It can prominently reduce the consumption of energy, water, and surfactants in laundry. In addition, the trans-AAAB units of the copolymer cause the cross-linked P(MEO3MA- co-EGMA- co-AAAB) layer to be more hydrophobic under ambient conditions. Hence, the copolymer can more easily collapse and form a porous structure on the fabrics. Thus, the air permeability of cotton fabrics cross-linked with P(MEO3MA- co-EGMA- co-AAAB) is enhanced by 13% at human body temperature as compared to P(MEO3MA- co-EGMA), giving improved comfort control during daily wear.

Abstract
Herein, multilayer polysaccharide films were proposed and characterized as biomaterials for the local and controlled release of an antitumoral drug. To that aim, multilayer films of alginate (Alg) and chitosan (Chi) were built up through spray assisted layer-by-layer (LbL) technique employing an automatic equipment. A specific drug against breast cancer, tamoxifen (TMX), was incorporated in different intermediate positions of the multilayer Alg/Chi films. Our findings highlight that Alg/Chi multilayer films can be employed for sustained and local TMX delivery and their therapeutic effect can be modulated and optimized by the number of bilayers deposited over the loaded tamoxifen, the quantity of tamoxifen loaded in several intermediate positions and the total area of the film.
