Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a rare cancer affecting disease for children and young adults; complete healing from this condition is quite difficult. Recently, new regeneration materials have been preferred, including natural compound companied implants for affected bone repair, and it is effectively used to treat osteosarcoma disease. Hence, Octa calcium phosphate (OCP) reinforced with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and oleic acid (OA) with Naringenin (NRG) composite was prepared and studied to cure the sarcoma affected bone. The physicochemical nature of the prepared OCP, PVA/OA/OCP, and PVA/OA/OCP/NRG composite were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, and XRD techniques. The in vitro release of the NRG from the PVA/OA/OCP/NRG composite was evaluated by UV-visible spectroscopy and the NRG release rate was observed at 98.0 % over 24 h. Biocompatibility and cell viability of the prepared OCP, PVA/OA/OCP, and PVA/OA/OCP/NRG composite are investigated in adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) on different days. Interestingly, the PVA/OCP/OA/NRG composite shows an increase of 74.0 % to 92.0 % in cell survival, indicating that the composite is biocompatible. Similarly, the ability of NRG in the composite is to suppress cancer cells and it was determined in lung cancer (A549) cells. NRG-loaded PVA/OCP/OA/NRG shows good inhibition ability, nearly 43 % at 72 h. From the results, the prepared composite materials can inhibit cancer cells and be viable in stem cell growth. Since the materials will serve as potential regenerative materials for sarcoma-affected bone recovery.

Abstract
Wound infection is still an important challenge in healing of different types of skin injuries. This highlights the need for new and improved antibacterial agents with novel and different mechanisms of action. In this study, by electrospinning process Tanacetum polycephalum essential oil (EO), as a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, along with Amoxicillin (AMX) as an antibiotic are incorporated into PVA/gelatin-based nanofiber mats individually and in combination to fabricate a novel wound dressing. Briefly, we fabricated PVA/gelatin loaded by Amoxicillin as first layer for direct contact with wound surface to protects the wound from exogenous bacteria, and then built a PVA/gelatin/Tanacetum polycephalum essential oil layer on the first layer to help cleanses the wound from infection and accelerates wound closure. Finally, PVA/gelatin layer as third layer fabricated on middle layer to guarantee desirable mechanical properties. For each layer, the electrospinning parameters were adjusted to form bead-free fibers. The morphology of fabricated nanofiber scaffolds was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Microscopic images demonstrated the smooth bead-free microstructures fabrication of every layer of nanofiber with a uniform fiber size of 126.888 to 136.833 nm. While, EO and AMX increased the diameter of nanofibers but there was no change in physical structure of nanofiber. The water contact angle test demonstrated hydrophilicity of nanofibers with 47.35°. Although EO and AMX had little effect on reducing hydrophilicity but nanofibers with contact angle between 51.4° until 65.4° are still hydrophilic. Multilayer nanofibers loaded by EO and AMX killed 99.99 % of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria in comparison with control and PVA/gelatin nanofiber. Also, in addition to confirming the non-toxicity of nanofibers, MTT results also showed the acceleration of cell proliferation. In vivo wound evaluation in mouse models showed that designed nanofibrous scaffolds could be an appropriate option for wound treatment due to their positive effect on angiogenesis, collagen deposition, granulation tissue formation, epithelialization, and wound closure.

Abstract
This study involves the fabrication of innovative poly (vinyl alcohol) nanocomposite films by incorporating silver-embedded clay nanotubes with organosolv-lignin by the solution casting approach. The confirmation of this procedure was achieved through the utilisation of many techniques, including FTIR, PXRD, FE-SEM, and TGA. The aforementioned research have verified the adherence of silver nanoparticles to the surface of raw halloysites. The confirmation of lignin functionalization on these nanotubes has been established. This novel nanofiller was used to make a range of nanocomposite films with varying weight percentages ranging from 0 wt% to 5 wt%. With the increase in the wt% of nanofillers, These nanocomposite films exhibited greater thermal and mechanical stability compared to plain PVA. An investigation was conducted to examine the impact of the films on the cellular behaviour of murine fibroblast (NIH3T3) cell lines. Based on the findings from cell proliferation and scratch testing, it has been determined that these nanocomposite films are not harmful to cells, exhibit a greater rate of cell multiplication (116 ± 1.19), and demonstrate increased migratory capabilities (86.5 ± 0.50). Further investigations of human blood corroborate the evidence that these films are compatible with blood. Nanocomposite films have the potential to serve as wound healers following pre-clinical and clinical testing.

Abstract
In this study, a lignin-based hydrogel for wastewater treatment was prepared by incorporating kraft lignin (KL) into a poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix. The underwater structural stability of the KL-PVA hydrogel was guaranteed through physicochemical crosslinking, involving freeze-thaw process and chemical crosslinking reaction. The KL-PVA hydrogel displayed superior compressive characteristics compared to the original PVA hydrogel. This improvement was attributed to the chemical crosslinking and the reinforcing effect of the incorporated KL microparticles. The incorporation of anionic KL microparticles into the PVA three-dimensional network structure enhanced the cationic methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) adsorption efficiency of the prepared KL-PVA hydrogel. The MB adsorption results were well explained by pseudo-2nd order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm model. Electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions were the main adsorption mechanisms between cationic dyes and KL surfaces, indicating the potential of KL-PVA hydrogel as an effective adsorption material. Moreover, regulating the molecular weight of PVA not only prevented lignin leakage from the KL-PVA hydrogel but also elevated the KL content within the hydrogel, consequently improving its dye removal performance. For KL-PVA hydrogel with high molecular weight PVA, the MB and CV adsorption capacities were 193.8 mg/g and 190.0 mg/g, respectively.

Abstract
The creation of high-performance thermal insulation and flame-retardant materials is of great importance for minimizing energy consumption and reducing fire risk for modern buildings. Herein, we report the creation of a new composite aerogel, which was prepared by incorporation of 9,10-Dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-Oxide-3-Aminopropyl triethoxysilane (DOPO-KH550) modified hollow glass microspheres (HGM) into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using citric acid as a cross-linker, as a kind of thermal insulation and flame retardant materials (abbreviated as PVA-DKHGM). The as-synthesized PVA-DKHGM composite exhibits superior thermal conductivity of 0.0187 W m-1 K-1, owing to the hollow structure of the hollow glass microspheres and rich porosity. Besides, it reaches V-0 level at the UL-94 test and the peak heat release rate (pHRR) was measured to be 114.93 (kW/m2) which is lower than most composites now. These results are attributed to the synergy effect of the hollow glass microsphere and DOPO-KH550 which offers the composites aerogel excellent flame retardancy. Owing to its advantages such as lightweight, highly porous, thermally stable, simple to prepare, high mechanical strength, and can be further scaled up, our PVA-DKHGM aerogel may hold great potential for practical applications in construction of energy-saving modern buildings.

Abstract
Incorporating a bioactive food waste extract into biodegradable polymers is a promising green approach to producing active films with antioxidant and antibacterial activity for food packaging. Active packaging films from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) incorporated with tamarind seed coat waste extract (TS) were prepared by solvent casting method using citric acid as a crosslinking agent. The effect of TS content on the film properties was determined by measuring the optical, morphology, mechanical, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), antioxidant, and antimicrobial attributes. The CMC/PVA-TS films were also tested on fresh pork. The addition of TS did not significantly affect the film structure and WVTR but it improved the mechanical and UV barrier properties. The films possessed antioxidant and antimicrobial ability against bacteria (S. aureus and E. coli). Thus, CMC/PVA packaging was successfully prepared, and the incorporation of TS enhanced the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the film, which extended the shelf-life of fresh pork.

Abstract
In this study, the Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are surface-functionalized with sodium alginate (Sod.alg) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were employed to generate nanocomposite films (Sod.alg-rHNT/PVA). These nanocomposite films were made via the solution casting technique. FE-SEM data verified sod.alg-rHNT dispersion into the PVA matrix. The modifications were confirmed from FTIR, TGA and PXRD techniques. In the mechanical studies of synthesized nanocomposite films, the films showed a considerable increase in the tensile strength and Young's modulus values. The nanocomposite film's ability to induce cell proliferation and migration was investigated using murine fibroblast (NIH3T3) cells. The films increased cellular proliferation (128 ± 1.07 %) compared to the neat PVA. Cell adhesion tests showed cytocompliant films. In the scratch assay, the 5 wt% film elicited wound closure at a faster rate (91.53 ± 1.04 %). Films were compatible with human blood cells. Therefore the prepared nanocomposite films can be used as promising wound healers after pre-clinical and clinical testing.

Abstract
The development of sustainable and biodegradable composites has gained increasing attention in recent years. Effective interaction and adhesion between polymers and fillers are crucial. In this study, the effect of different aspect ratios of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and their hybrid within a crosslinked poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposite has been investigated to develop biodegradable materials. The physicochemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the specimens have been studied. SEM images indicate that the addition of CNC reduced the porosity of the films. The XPS results confirmed the significant formation of covalent bonds for all composites except those reinforced with wood-CNC, which showed a lower amount of crosslinking and CC formation. EDS maps reveals that the dispersity of the CNCs could be different depending on the aspect ratio of the CNCs. Results from the solubility in water (SW) tests indicated that the use of hybrid-CNC in a crosslinked system decreased the SW significantly. The crosslinking and addition of CNC to the PVA composite led to improved mechanical properties. Elongation at break (EB) decreased significantly for the crosslinked hybrid-CNC nanocomposite. Overall, the results of this study indicate that the aspect ratio of CNCs as fillers in nanocomposites may contribute to their physicochemical, mechanical, and thermal properties for the development of biodegradable materials.

Abstract
Hydrogels composed from biomolecules have gained great interests as biomaterials for tissue engineering. However, their poor mechanical properties limit their application potential. Here, we synthesized a series of tough composite hydrogels from poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and pectin for bone tissue engineering. With a balance of scaffold stiffness and pore size, PVA-Pec-10 hydrogel enhanced adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts. The hydrogel significantly promoted osteogenesis in vitro by improving the alkaline phosphates (ALP) activity and calcium biomineralization, as well as upregulating the expressions of osteoblastic genes. The composite hydrogel also accelerated the bone healing process in vivo after transplantation into the femoral defect. Additionally, our study demonstrated that pectin and its Ca2+ crosslinking network play a crucial role of inducing osteogenesis through regulating the Ca2+/CaMKII and BMP-SMAD1/5 signaling. The optimized structure composition and multifunctional properties make PVA-Pec hydrogel highly promising to serve as a candidate for bone tissue regeneration. Recoverable PVA-Pec hydrogel is prepared by the freezing-thawing process. PVA-Pec-10 hydrogel display well attachment and osteogenesis capacity. PVA-Pecl-10 hydrogel enhanced osteogenesis by Ca2+/CaMKII and BMP-SMAD1/5 signaling.

Abstract
Wound dressing hydrogel with multifunctional properties, including antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and appropriate mechanical, biological, and physical properties is of great interest in wound healing application and it is still a challenge. In the present study, chitooligosaccharides (COS)/ sinapic acid (SA) conjugate (COS-SA) was synthesized using H2O2-induced grafting polymerization, and photo cross-linkable hyaluronic acid was synthesized using methacrilation (HAMA). The synthesis of COS-SA and HAMA was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and polyphenol assay. Subsequently, we developed duel cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/HAMA composite hydrogel encapsulated with COS-SA as an antioxidant and antimicrobial dressing for full-thickness wound healing application. The chemical, physical, mechanical, antioxidant, antimicrobial, in vitro biocompatibility, and in vivo wound healing properties of hydrogels were subsequently investigated. The results showed that the fabricated composite hydrogel had a uniform porous architecture, excellent fluid absorbability, and appropriate mechanical stability. The introduction of COSs-SA conjugate remarkably enhanced the in vitro biocompatibility, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties of the hydrogel, leading to the significant promotion of in vivo full-thickness wound closure, re-epithelization, granulation tissue formation, and collagen deposition indicating that COSs-SA incorporated PVA/HAMA hydrogel wound dressing has significant potential for chronic wound healing application.

Abstract
Advances in polymers have made significant contribution in diverse application oriented fields. Multidisciplinary applicability of polymers generates a range of strategies, which is pertinent in a wide range of fields. Blends of natural and synthetic polymers have spawned a different class of materials with synergistic effects. Specifically, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and alginate (AG) blends (PVAG) have demonstrated some promising results in almost every segment, ranging from biomedical to industrial sector. Combination of PVAG with other materials, immobilization with specific moieties and physical and chemical crosslinking could result in amendments in the structure and properties of the PVAG matrices. Here, we provide an overview of the recent developments in designing PVAG based matrix and complexes with their structural and functional properties. The article also provides a comprehensive outline on the applicability of PVAG matrix in wastewater treatment, biomedical, photocatalysis, food packaging, and fuel cells and sheds light on the challenges that need to be addressed. Finally, the review elaborates the future prospective of PVAG matrices in other unexplored fields like aircraft industry, nuclear science and space exploration.

Abstract
We studied room temperature phosphorescence of tryptophan (TRP) embedded in poly (vinyl alcohol) films. With UV (285 nm) excitation, the phosphorescence spectrum of tryptophan appears at about 460 nm. We also observed the TRP phosphorescence with blue light excitation at 410 nm, well outside of the S0→S1 absorption. This excitation reaches the triplet state of tryptophan directly without the involvement of the singlet excited state. The phosphorescence lifetime of tryptophan is in the sub-millisecond range. The long-wavelength direct excitation to the triplet state results in high phosphorescence anisotropy which can be useful in macromolecule dynamics study via time-resolved phosphorescence.

Abstract
Effective fertilizers management is essential for sustainable agricultural practices. One way to improve agronomic practices is by using slow-release fertilizers (SRF) that have shown interesting role in optimizing nutrients availability for plants growth. Considering the current ecological concerns, coated SRF using ecofriendly materials continue to attract great attention. In this context, novel waterborne and biodegradable coating nanocomposite formulations were elaborated from cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)-filled poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for slow release NPK fertilizer with water retention property. CNC were extracted from hemp stalks using sulfuric acid hydrolysis process and their physico-chemical characteristics were investigated. CNC with various weight loadings (6, 10, 14.5 wt%) were incorporated into PVA polymer via solvent mixing method to produce viscous coating nanocomposite formulations with moderated shear viscosity. Uniform PVA@CNC coating microlayer was applied on the surface of NPK fertilizer granules in Wurster chamber of a fluidized bed dryer at controlled spraying and drying parameters. The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium release profiles from coated NPK fertilizer were determined in water and soil. It was found that the coating materials extended the N-P-K nutrients release time from 3 days for uncoated fertilizer to 10 and 30 days for neat PVA- and CNC/PVA-coated fertilizer in soil medium, indicating the positive role of the presence of CNC in the PVA-based coatings. The morphology, coating rate and crushing strength of the as-prepared coated products were investigated in addition to their effect on water holding capacity and water retention of the soil. Enhanced crushing strength and water retention with a positive effect on the soil moisture were observed after coating NPK fertilizer, mainly with high CNC content (14.5 wt%). Therefore, these proposed nanocomposite coating materials showed a great potential for producing a new class of SRF with high nutrients use efficiency and water retention capacity, which could be beneficial to sustainable crop production.

Abstract
Water contamination by mercury ions (Hg2+) causes irreversible and serious effect on the ambient environment, ecological systems, and human health, necessitating further improvement of Hg2+ monitoring at low concentrations. Here, we proposed a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for Hg2+ detection with desirable advantages of high sensitivity, simple operation, label-free, and low cost, in which the chitosan/poly (vinyl alcohol)/SnO2 composite film was modified on sensing surface as the active layer for sensitivity enhancement. Benefiting from the relatively high refractive index of SnO2 nanoparticles, the evanescent field generated at the metal-solution interface can be significantly enhanced, which results in a 5 times improvement of sensitivity. Through appropriate optimization in the aspects of componential constitutions, the sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity of 25.713 nm/μg/L and ultra-low calculated detection limit of 6.61 ng/L(32.95 pM). Such detection limit is strikingly lower than the limitation (10 nM) in drinking water set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, the as-prepared sensor presents relatively high selectivity for Hg2+, attributing to plenty of binding sites for specific adsorption produced by functionalized chitosan/poly (vinyl alcohol) composites, which have been furtherly verified by characterization of FTIR and XPS spectra. The proposed sensor also exhibits great repeatability and good time stability for 15 days. This work provides a promising strategy for developing high-performance SPR sensor for Hg2+ detection and a prospective application in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Corn starch (CS) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were incorporated into biodegradable poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to prepare mechanically robust and sustainable composites through melt-processing. Based on the regulation and control of hydrogen bonding network, CS and CNFs can extend the processing window and improve the thermoplasticity of PVA composites. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectra analysis indicate that the intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds of PVA are broken, accompanied by the formation of new hydrogen bonds among PVA, CS and CNFs during the melt-processing treatment. Thermal analysis shows that the processing window of PVA composite is significantly broadened to 131.46 °C. The tensile strength, modulus and elongation at break of the composites reach to 28.19 MPa, 1572.54 MPa and 10.72% by the incorporation of 10 wt% CS and 10 wt% CNFs. This strategy is not only expected to provide a direction for preparing complex three-dimensional products of PVA by melt-processing, but also provide a method to enhance the mechanical properties of other biodegradable plastics.

Abstract
Hemodialysis considered as therapy of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) for the separation of protein and uremic toxins based on their molecular weights using semi-permeable membranes. Cellulose Acetate (CA) hemodialysis membrane has been widely used in the biomedical field particularly for hemodialysis applications. The main issue of CA membrane is less selectivity and hemocompatibility. In this study, to enhance the filtration capability and biocompatibility of CA hemodialysis membrane modified by using Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) as additives. CA-PVA flat sheet membranes were cast by phase inversion method, and separation was done by dead-end filtration cell. The synthesized membranes were described in terms of chemical structure using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and morphology by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), pure water flux, solute permeation, and protein retention. Biocompatibility of the membranes was tested by the platelet adherence, hemolysis ratio, thrombus formation, and plasma recalcification time. SEM images exposed that the CA-PVA membrane has a uniform porous structure. 42.484 L/m2 h is the maximum pure water flux obtained. The CA-PVA rejected up to 95% of bovine serum albumin (BSA). A similar membrane separated 93% of urea and 89% of creatinine. Platelet adhesion and hemolysis ratio of casted membranes were less than the pure CA membrane. Increased clotting time and less thrombus formation on the membrane's surface showed that the fabricated membrane is biocompatible. CA-PVA hemodialysis membranes are more efficient than conventional reported hemodialysis membranes. It revealed that CA-PVA is high performing biocompatible hemodialysis membrane.

Abstract
Electrospun poly (l-lactide-co-d, l-lactide) (PLDLLA)/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers were reinforced by various contents (0-1 wt%) of phospho-calcified cellulose nanowhiskers (PCCNWs) as scaffolds in bone applications. The hydrophilicity and rate of hydrolytic degradation of PLDLLA were improved by introducing 10 wt% of PVA. PCCNWs with inherent hydrophilic properties, high aspect ratio, and large elastic modulus enhanced the hydrophilicity, accelerated the rate of degradation, and improved the mechanical properties of the nanofibrous samples. Moreover, calcium phosphate and phosphate functional groups on the surface of PCCNWs possessing act as stimulating agents for cellular activities such as proliferation and differentiation. Besides the physico-chemical properties investigation of PLDLLA/PVA-PCCNWs nanofibrous samples, their cytotoxicity was also studied and they did not show any adverse side effect. Incorporation of PCCNWs (1 wt%) into the PLDLLA/PVA nanofibrous samples showed more enzymatic activities and deposited calcium. The micrograph images of the morphology of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) cultured on the nanofibrous sample containing 1 wt% of PCCNWs after 14 days of cell differentiation revealed their high potential for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
In the present work sodium alginate functionalized halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) reinforced poly (vinyl alcohol) nanocomposite films were prepared by solution casting technique. Sodium alginate surface functionalizing on the HNTs through hydrogen bonding was confirmed by spectroscopic and morphological analysis. The functionalized HNTs were successfully incorporated into the PVA matrix. Further, the films were characterized by using FTIR, TGA, XRD, SEM, AFM, UTM, WCA and swelling ratio analysis. The obtained results indicated improved physico-thermal properties, and uniform distribution of nanotubes in the matrix and roughness of the surface compared with the pristine PVA films. After inclusion of functionalized nanotubes causes enhancement of tensile strength as well as young's modulus of the nanocomposite films. Water contact angle measurement was carried out to know the hydrophilic or hydrophobic nature of the films and results were correlated with swelling ratio analysis. Furthermore, the films were analyzed for in-vitro biocompatibility studies. In -vitro enzymatic degradation was carried out in PBS media and cellular behaviour studies were analyzed using NIH3T3 cell lines. The results showed enhancement in the enzymatic degradation, proliferation, adhesion activity compared to that of pristine PVA films. In extension, nanocomposite films were subjected to hemocompatibility studies using human erythrocyte. The results revealed that nanocomposite films were biocompatible and hemocompatible. The fabricated films can be used in biomedical application.

Abstract
Oil spills can result in significant damage to marine estuaries, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and shorelines. Electrospun nanofibers containing biosurfactant (ENFs) can be used to clean oil spills up and protect the environmental biology. Present work aimed to study the side-effects of prepared nanofibers on animal models. Screening of the prepared ECNFs on animals showed that three of them (PVA-5, PEO-1, and PEO-5) are safe to hepatic tissues and liver functions. Furthermore, oxidative stress did not change after using these nanofibers. The PVA-1 nanofibers, however, were found to cause major pathological changes in the liver tissue. In addition, PVA-1 nanofibers were proved to alter the total white blood count and the neutrophil percentages significantly in comparison to the control. In conclusion, PVA-5, PEO-1, and PEO-5 are safe to hepatic tissues and liver functions.

Abstract
In the present study, preparation of blend hydrogels of tyramine conjugated gum tragacanth and poly (vinyl alcohol) was carried out by electron beam irradiation, and modification of hydrogel properties with poly (vinyl alcohol) was demonstrated. Gel content, swelling behavior, pore size and mechanical and rheological properties of hydrogels prepared at 14, 28 and 56 kilogray (kGy) with different ratios of polymers were investigated. Gel content increased from 67 ± 2% for pure tyramine conjugated gum tragacanth hydrogel to >92% for blend hydrogels. However, the corresponding equilibrium swelling degree decreased from 35.21 ± 1.51 to 9.14 ± 1.66 due to the higher crosslink density of blend hydrogel. The mechanical strength of the hydrogels with interconnected pores increased significantly in the presence of poly (vinyl alcohol) and increasing irradiation dose up to 28 kGy with a twenty-fold enhancement of stress fracture and excellent elastic recovery in cyclic compression analysis. The equilibrium swelling degree of blend hydrogel containing 3% w/v tyramine conjugated gum tragacanth and 2% w/v poly (vinyl alcohol) prepared at 28 kGy was 16.59 ± 0.81. The biocompatibility of hydrogels was tested in the presence of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The viability of cells exposed to hydrogel extract was >92% after 7 days of culture and indicated hydrogel biocompatibility with potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this study, we fabricated polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels containing diphlorethohydroxycarmalol (DPHC) from Ishige okamurae for its anti-bacterial effect in wound-dressing applications. First, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of DPHC against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated, and these were found to be about 128 μg/mL and 512 μg/mL, respectively. Polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels loaded with different concentrations of DPHC were then produced for the dressing of wounds to assist in the healing process and to provide an antibacterial effect. To investigate the characteristics of the proposed PVA/DPHC hydrogels, we conducted SEM analysis, rheological analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, water swelling analysis, drug release testing, and gel fraction assessment. The antibacterial activity of the PVA/DPHC hydrogels was also tested against the gram-positive bacterium S. aureus and the gram-negative bacterium P. aeruginosa using ASTM E2149 tests. The biocompatibility of the PVA/DPHC hydrogels was assessed using in vitro indirect and direct contact tests and in vivo tests on ICR mice. The PVA/DPHC hydrogels exhibited the ability to reduce the viability of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa by about 99% in ASTM E2149 testing, while not producing any toxic effect on NHDF-Neo or HaCaT cells as shown in MTT assays and in vitro FDA fluorescence analysis. In addition, the PVA/DPHC hydrogels had a strong wound healing effect when compared to non-treated groups of ICR mice in vivo. Based on the characterization of the PVA/DPHC hydrogels in vitro and in vivo, this study suggests that the proposed hydrogel has significant potential for use in wound dressing.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers have a wide range of applications due to their unique miniature size and accompanying ultra-high specific surface area. Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) is a kind of hydrophilic materials, and hence its nanofiber morphology prepared by electrospinning disappeared after solution immersing. In the present work, crosslinked PVA nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning and then employing glutaraldehyde vapor crosslinking to improve their water resistance and mechanical properties. As an application, these nanofibers were used to adsorb Cu2+ and Pb2+ according to varying crosslinking time and different concentrations of ionic solution. It was observed the crosslinked PVA nanofiber films maintained good fiber morphology after adsorption, while the nanofiber morphology of uncrosslinked samples was lost. The stability of the crosslinked nanofiber films in water was improved, the adsorption equilibrium time of Pb2+ decreased from 30 h to 10 h while the equilibrium adsorption time of Cu2+ decreased from 15 h to 5 h, and the tensile strength of the nanofiber films with crosslinking time of 20 h was 7.99 MPa, which was 240% higher than that of the nanofiber with crosslinking time of 1 h, indicating higher efficiency.

Abstract
This study describes the valorization of rice and oat husks by obtaining cellulose nanocrystals for the production of aerogels for food packaging applications. Commercial cellulose was used as a control sample. Nanocrystals from cellulose were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis and mechanical treatment at high pressure. The morphology, particle size, functional groups, crystallinity, and thermal properties of the cellulose nanocrystals were analyzed. The morphology, functional groups, crystallinity, water absorption capability, and zeta potential of aerogels were also analyzed. Cellulose nanocrystals show different structural properties and crystallinity depending on the source of the cellulose. The average diameter of the nanocrystals varied from 16.0 to 28.8 nm. The aerogels prepared with cellulose nanocrystals showed a porous and uniform structure with a water absorption capacity between 264.2% and 402.8% at 25 °C. The aerogel of oat cellulose nanocrystals showed a larger pore size than that of eucalyptus cellulose nanocrystals, and this may have influenced the lowest water absorption capacity of the aerogels of eucalyptus cellulose nanocrystals. These results show that agroindustrial residues have promising applications in various industrial fields and could be used as aerogel absorbers of water in food packaging.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibrous mats based on biopolymers have been widely investigated for tissue engineering in recent years, primarily due to remarkable morphological similarity to the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). In this research, electrospun PVA/Chitosan/Starch nanofibrous mats were fabricated using electrospinning method for wound dressing application. The prepared nanofibrous mats were then cross-linked to enhanced the water resistance and also optimize the biodegradation rate followed by characterization and evaluation of their properties as wound dressings. The morphological studies performed by SEM and AFM showed that uniform bead-free electrospun nanofibrous mats were formed. The structural properties of the fabricated mats were characterized by FTIR. The proper porosity and balanced water absorption and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of obtained dressings, demonstrate their ability in providing suitable moist environment for wound, result in the appropriate wound breathing and simultaneously efficient handling of wound exudates. Suitable mechanical properties of nanofibrous dressing in both dry and wet states confirm the capability of fabricated wound dressing to protect wound area against the external forces during the healing process. Antibacterial test revealed excellent antibacterial activity of nanofibrous mats against both gram negative and gram positive bacteria. Furthermore, the in vitro cytotoxicity evaluated by MTT assay, proved appropriate cytocompatibility and cell viability of the developed nanofibrous mats which were also verified with in vitro wound healing analysis performed by scratch assay, confirming the remarkable potential of the investigated nanofibrous mats for wound dressing application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Corneal blindness resulting from various medical conditions affects millions worldwide. The rapid developing tissue engineering field offers design of a scaffold with mechanical properties and transparency similar to that of the natural cornea. AIM: The present study aimed at to prepare and investigate the properties of PVA/chitosan blended scaffold by further cross-linking with 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) and 2 N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) as potential in vitro carrier for human limbal stem cells delivery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Acetic acid dissolved chitosan was added to PVA solution, uniformly mixed with a homogenizer until the mixture was in a colloidal state, followed by H2SO4 and formaldehyde added and the sample was allowed to cool, subsequently it was poured into a tube and heated in an oven at 60°C for 50 minutes. Finally, samples were soaked in a cross-linking bath with EDC, NHS and NaOH in H2O/EtOH for 24 h consecutively stirred to cross-link the polymeric chains, reduce degradation. After soaking in the bath, the samples were carefully washed with 2% glycine aqueous solution several times to remove the remaining amount of cross-linkers, followed by washed with water to remove residual agents. Later the cross-linked scaffold subjected for various characterization and biological experiments. RESULTS: After viscosity measurement, the scaffold was observed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The water absorbency of PVA/Chitosan was increased 361% by swelling. Compression testing demonstrated that by increasing the amount of chitosan, the strength of the scaffold could be increased to 16×10−1 MPa. Our degradation results revealed by mass loss using equation shows that scaffold degraded gradually imply slow degradation. In vitro tests showed good cell proliferation and growth in the scaffold. Our assay results confirmed that the membrane could increase the cells adhesion and growth on the substrate. CONCLUSION: Hence, we strongly believe the use of this improved PVA/chitosan scaffold has potential to cut down the disadvantages of the human amniotic membrane (HAM) for corneal epithelium in ocular surface surgery and greater mechanical strength in future after successful experimentation with clinical trials.

Abstract
Photocrosslinkable hydrogels composed of natural materials exhibit great application potential in tissue engineering scaffolds. However, weak formation and poor mechanical property can usually be a limitation. Herein, the photo-clickable thiol-ene hydrogels based chitosan were synthesized using photopolymerization of maleic chitosan (MCS) and thiol-terminated poly (vinyl alcohol) (TPVA) in the presence of a biocompatible photoinitiator. Rheological property and absorbing behavior of the MCS/TPVA hydrogels could be tailored by varying the amount of TPVA in the feed. There was strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the molecules of MCS and TPVA. Notably, the MCS/TPVA hydrogel (MT-3) exhibited rapid gelation behavior (<120 s), improved stiff (G' = ∼5500 Pa) and compressive strength (0.285 ± 0.014 MPa), which were important for hydrogel scaffolds, especially for injectable hydrogel scaffolds. Photocrosslinked MCS/TPVA hydrogels was cytocompatible and could promote the L929 cells attachment and proliferation, showing their potential as tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the viscoelastic and mechanical behaviour of polyvinyl alcohol films formulated along with carrageenan, plasticizing agents (polyethylene glycol and glycerol), and when loaded with nanoparticles as a model for potential applications as microbicides. The storage modulus, loss modulus and glass transition temperature were determined using a dynamic mechanical analyzer. Films fabricated from 2% to 5% polyvinyl alcohol containing 3 mg or 5 mg of fluorescently labeled nanoparticles were evaluated. The storage modulus and loss modulus values of blank films were shown to be higher than the nanoparticle-loaded films. Glass transition temperature determined using the storage modulus, and loss modulus was between 40-50℃ and 35-40℃, respectively. The tensile properties evaluated showed that 2% polyvinyl alcohol films were more elastic but less resistant to breaking compared to 5% polyvinyl alcohol films (2% films break around 1 N load and 5% films break around 7 N load). To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the influence of nanoparticle and film composition on the physico-mechanical properties of polymeric films for vaginal drug delivery.

Abstract
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a derivative of vitamin A, is a common component in cosmetics and commercial acne creams as well as being a first-line chemotherapeutic agent. Today, formulations for the topical application of ATRA rely on creams and emulsions to incorporate the highly hydrophobic ATRA drug. These strategies, when applied to the skin, deliver ATRA as a single bolus, which is immediately taken up into the skin and contributes to many of the known adverse side effects of ATRA treatment, including skin irritation and hair loss. Herein we present a new concept in topical delivery of retinoids by covalently bonding the drug through a hydrolytically degradable ester linkage to a common hydrophilic polymer, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), creating an amphiphilic nanomaterial that is water-soluble. This PVA bound ATRA can then act as a pro-drug and accumulate within the skin to allow for the sustained controlled delivery of active ATRA. This approach was demonstrated to release active ATRA out to 10days in vitro while significantly enhancing dermal accumulation of the ATRA in explant pig skin. In vivo we demonstrate that the pro-drug formulation reduces application site inflammation compared to free ATRA and retains the drug at the application site at measurable quantities for up to six days.

Abstract
Commercialization of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) involves addressing various challenges. Among them, wet storage and transport of CNFs due to their irreversible agglomeration when dehydrated (i.e., hornification) is a pressing issue, as it increases transportation costs. Various alternatives have been proposed in literature, some of which require the use of high-energy treatments to facilitate their redispersion after drying, while others may be inadequate when applied to food and pharmaceutical applications. The present work examines a new approach that involves using poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a capping agent to redisperse CNFs. Different CNF to PVA ratios were used, and redispersed samples were analyzed in terms of their morphological, physicochemical and rheological properties to assess changes occurring during processing. Results show that the ratio of CNFs to PVA affects the final properties of the redispersed product, when the ratio 1:2.5 was used, the redispersed product closely resembles the never dried sample.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals reinforced poly (vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate hybrid scaffolds were fabricated by using freeze casting and freeze drying method. In this study, the effect of crosslinking agents such as calcium chloride, orthophosphoric acid, and borax on morphological, structural, thermal, mechanical, and cytocompatibility (cell adhesion and proliferation) properties was investigated. The results showed that the change in type of crosslinking agent significantly changed the properties of the hybrid scaffolds. Based on this study, borax-crosslinked hybrid scaffold showed good fibrous porous structure with high porosity (95.2%), highest water uptake capacity, good thermal stability, mechanical stability (storage modulus), and in vitro cell adhesion and proliferation with fibroblast (NIH3T3) cells. This primarily research study explores the way for further use of this crosslinking agent to design and fabricate scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
A novel crosslinked Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) reverse osmosis (RO) thin film membrane conjugated with Gum Arabic (GA) with superb performance and features was synthesized for water desalination. RO membrane desalination parameters, such as hydrophilicity, surface roughness, water permeability, salt rejection, Chlorine resistance and biofouling resistance were evaluated using a dead end RO filtration unit. The incorporation of Pluronic F127 and the conjugation of Gum Arabic improved the overall RO performance of the membranes. This study has shown that the membrane PVA-GA-5 that contains 0.9wt% Gum Arabic provided excellent permeation, salt rejection, Chlorine and biofouling resistance and mechanical strength. The most remarkable result to arise from this research is that the overall RO performance enhancement has been achieved while utilizing PVA/Gum Arabic as a separation layer without the use of a substrate, which eliminates negative effects associated with the use of a substrate like internal concentration polarization.

Abstract
The host response against foreign materials designates the biocompatibility of intravenously administered microcapsules and thus, widely affects their potential for subsequent clinical use as artificial oxygen/drug carriers. Therefore, body distribution and systemic parameters, as well as markers of inflammation and indicators of organ damage were carefully evaluated after administration of short-chained poly (vinyl alcohol, (PVA)) solution or poly (ethylene glycol (PEG))-shielded perfluorodecalin-filled poly (d,l-lactide-co-glycolide, PFD-filled PLGA) microcapsules into Wistar rats. Whereas PVA infusion was well tolerated, all animals survived the selected dose of 1247 mg microcapsules/kg body weight but showed marked toxicity (increased enzyme activities, rising pro-inflammatory cytokines and complement factors) and developed a mild metabolic acidosis. The observed hypotension emerging immediately after start of capsule infusion was transient and mean arterial blood pressure restored to baseline within 70 min. Microcapsules accumulated in spleen and liver (but not in other organs) and partly occluded hepatic microcirculation reducing sinusoidal perfusion rate by about 20%. Intravenous infusion of high amounts of PFD-filled PLGA microcapsules was tolerated temporarily but associated with severe side effects such as hypotension and organ damage. Short-chained PVA displays excellent biocompatibility and thus, can be utilized as emulsifier for the preparation of drug carriers designed for intravenous use.
