Abstract
This study presents a facile synthesis strategy for magnetic field-responsive PEGylated iron-supplement-coated rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) for stimulus-responsive drug delivery. Imatinib, an anticancer drug, was successfully loaded into NPs, and its in vitro release was investigated under different pH conditions. XRD analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of PEGylated iron supplement-coated rutile titania NPs. HR-TEM studies revealed an increased NP size due to the coating, PEGylation, and drug loading, which was corroborated by FTIR spectra, confirming the drug loading into the NPs. DLS provided a hydrodynamic diameter of 642.2 nm and polydispersity index of 0.277 for PEGylated NPs, indicating their enhanced biodistribution and narrow size distribution. PEGylated NPs exhibited a negative zeta potential of -32.89 mV, indicating high stability. In vitro drug-release studies demonstrated controlled release with maximum efficiency under acidic conditions. Hemolysis assay confirmed the safety and biocompatibility of PEGylated NPs. All drug-loaded nanoformulations followed the Peppas-Sahlin model, suggesting Fickian diffusion and Case II relaxation mechanism of drug release. These NPs have the potential for the targeted delivery and controlled release of chemotherapeutics, thereby minimizing side effects.

Abstract
The growing demand for drug carriers and green-technology-based tissue engineering materials has enabled the fabrication of different types of micro- and nano-assemblies. Hydrogels are a type of material that have been extensively investigated in recent decades. Their physical and chemical properties, such as hydrophilicity, resemblance to living systems, swelling ability and modifiability, make them suitable to be exploited for many pharmaceutical and bioengineering applications. This review deals with a brief account of green-manufactured hydrogels, their characteristics, preparations, importance in the field of green biomedical technology and their future perspectives. Only hydrogels based on biopolymers, and primarily on polysaccharides, are considered. Particular attention is given to the processes of extracting such biopolymers from natural sources and the various emerging problems for their processing, such as solubility. Hydrogels are catalogued according to the main biopolymer on which they are based and, for each type, the chemical reactions and the processes that enable their assembly are identified. The economic and environmental sustainability of these processes are commented on. The possibility of large-scale processing in the production of the investigated hydrogels are framed in the context of an economy aimed at waste reduction and resource recycling.

Abstract
Nanoparticle drug delivery systems have drawn considerable attention worldwide due to their unique characteristics and advantages in anticancer drug delivery. Herein, the curcumin (Cur) loaded nanomicelles with two-stage drug release behavior were developed. β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) and cholesterol were conjugated onto both ends of the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chain to obtain an amphiphilic β-CD-PEG-Chol. The Cur was loaded into the cavities of β-CD and nanomicelle when the β-CD-PEG-Chol self-assembled to the Cur@β-CD-PEG-Chol nanomicelles (Cur@CPC NMs). These Cur@CPC NMs are spherical particles with a particle size of 120.9 nm. The Cur drug loading capacity of Cur@CPC NMs are 61.6 ± 6.9 mg/g. The release behavior of Cur from Cur@CPC NMs conformed to a two-stage mode of "burst-release followed by sustained-release". The prepared Cur@CPC NMs possess high storage stability and excellent hemocompatibility. Moreover, these Cur@CPC NMs exhibit satisfactory antioxidant activity and anticancer activity, resulting in significant reduction in intracellular H2O2-induced ROS and a nearly 50% lethality rate of HepG-2 cells. Meanwhile, the Cur@CPC NMs show good anti-inflammatory activity, by which the secretion of inflammatory factors of IL-6 and TNF-α are inhibited. Overall, the developed Cur@CPC NMs show application prospects in anticancer drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Polymer blends, obtained by polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of poly(propylene glycol), are investigated. Poly(propylene glycol) acts as a plasticizer, significantly lowering poly(methyl methacrylate)’s glass transition temperature and decreasing its elasticity modulus and yield stress. The mixture of methyl methacrylate with poly(propylene glycol) is more stable than its mixture with currently used poly(ethylene glycol), which leads to more uniform distribution and higher possible content of the plasticizer. Unlike low molecular weight plasticizers, poly(propylene glycol) is less prone to migration and exudation during manufacturing process and in use, and has low toxicity. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, compression testing and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate how the properties of the material depend on the content and molecular weight of the poly(propylene glycol) in the polymer blend. It was shown that the dependence of the glass transition temperature of methyl methacrylate polymerized in the presence of poly(propylene glycol) on the molar fraction of propylene glycol units is linear, and poly(propylene glycol) with lower molecular weight affects properties of the material stronger than poly(propylene glycol) with higher molecular weight. Therefore, the addition of poly(propylene glycol) allows to control the properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) easily and within wide range.

Abstract
The fabrication of a functional small-diameter vascular graft with good biocompatibility, in particular hemocompatibility, has become an urgent clinical necessity. We fabricated a native bilayer, small-diameter vascular graft using PEGylated chitosan (PEG-CS) and poly (L-lactic acid-co-ε-caprolactone; PLCL). To stabilize the inner layer, a PEG-CS blend with PLCL at ratio of 1:6 was casted on a round metal bar by a drip feed, and the outer layer, a PLCL blend with water-soluble PEG that acted as a sacrificial part to enhance pore size, was fabricated by electrospinning. The results showed excellent hemocompatibility and strong mechanical properties. In vitro, the degradation of the graft was evaluated by measuring the graft structure, mass loss rate, and changes in molecular weight. The results indicated that the graft had adequate support for the regeneration of blood vessels before collapse. An in vivo study was performed in a canine femoral artery model for up to 24 weeks, which demonstrated that the PEGylated bilayer grafts possessed excellent structural integrity, high compatibility with blood, good endothelial cell (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) growth, and high expression levels of angiogenesis-related proteins, features that are highly similar to autologous blood vessels. Moreover, the results showed almost negligible calcification within 24 weeks. These findings confirm that the bilayer graft mimics native cells, thereby effectively improving vascular remodeling.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare antibacterial wound dressings based on collagen and linalool/oxidized amylose inclusion complex. Encapsulation with oxidized amylose was used as an effective way to introduce linalool into collagen matrix. Our results showed that the content of linalool in the composite dressings was efficiently increased thanks to the solubilization effect of oxidized amyloses. The developed composite dressings possessed porous structure. They had abilities to keep the wound in moist environment and meanwhile prevent the excess exudates accumulation. The incorporation of linalool conferred the composite dressings with excellent antibacterial activities as expected. Moreover, the composite dressing with the highest content of linalool presented enhanced blood compatibility and good cell biocompatibility. This composite dressing effectively promoted granulation tissue formation and accelerated wound healing. It effectively prevented inflammation in regenerated skin tissue and scar formation too. Overall, the developed antibacterial wound dressings hold great potential for use in wound healing applications.

Abstract
Cyanoacrylate esters (CA) and their corresponding polymers (PolyCA) are used as general and medical adhesives, biodegradable carriers for controlled drug delivery, and as agents for fingerprint development in forensic science. Most reports of cyanoacrylate are on ethyl or 2-octyl cyanoacrylate ester with little attention to other esters. It is the objective of this study to determine the differences amongst cyanoacrylate esters regarding their synthesis, chemical characterization, hydrolytic degradation, and thermal and mechanical properties. Cyanoacrylate polymers of short and long alkyls or oxy-alkyls, cyclic, and aromatic esters have been synthesized and evaluated. All monomers form polymers when exposed to triethylamine vapours possessing molecular weights in the range of 15,000-150,000Da, where the alkyl esters form high MW polymers. A wide range of hydrolytic degradation rates has been found, as monitored by the release of formaldehyde over time. Alkoxy CAs show faster hydrolytic degradation compared to alkyl CAs. Regarding mechanical properties, CAs are classified into primarily viscous (G'>G″) and primarily elastic (G″>G'). Alkoxy CA polymers have a higher loss modulus (G') than storage modulus (G″). Octyl CA polymer possess a G'≈G″ (phase angle ∼45°) providing appropriate balance between mechanical strength and plasticity. Most alkyl CAs are compact and brittle. Alkoxy CAs show enhanced plasticity, but they lack mechanical strength. In general, the Tg for alkoxy CAs is less than alkyl CAs. Alkoxy CAs depolymerise rapidly at temperatures >200°C. Overall, ester sidechains of CA esters strongly affect the polymer property. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Polycyanoacrylates are an important class of biodegradable polymers mainly used as bioadhesives. The study describes comparative evaluation of different cyanoacrylate polymers with respect to their chemistry, degradation, safety, mechanical, and thermal properties. The study forms the basis for choosing appropriate combination of cyanoacrylate esters for various biomedical uses. Moreover, this study reveals properties of a few new polycyanoacrylates for the first time.

Abstract
In recent years, inorganic nanoparticles such as Laponite have frequently been incorporated into polymer matrixes to obtain nanocomposite hydrogels with hierarchical structures, ultrastrong tensibilities, and high transparencies. Despite their unique physical and chemical properties, only a few reports have evaluated Laponite-based nanocomposite hydrogels for biomedical applications. This article presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel, hemocompatible nanocomposite hydrogels by in situ polymerization of acrylamide (AAm) in a mixed suspension containing Laponite and gelatin. The compatibility, structure, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of the resulting NC gels with varied gel compositions were investigated. Our results show that the prepared nanocomposite hydrogels exhibit good thermal stability and mechanical properties. The introduction of a biocompatible polymer, gelatin, into the polymer matrix did not change the transparency and homogeneity of the resulting nanocomposite hydrogels, but it significantly decreased the hydrogel's pH-responsive properties. More importantly, gelatins that were incorporated into the PAAm network resisted nonspecific protein adsorption, improved the degree of hemolysis, and eventually prolonged the clotting time, indicating that the in vitro hemocompatibility of the resulting nanocomposite hydrogels had been substantially enhanced. Therefore, these nanocomposite hydrogels provide opportunities for potential use in various biomedical applications.
